  • Jason Wilde on KBN
    Feb 19 2026
    Jason Wilde joined KBN to break down the latest surrounding the Green Bay Packers, starting with a little NFC North banter — does he regret ever wishing the Chicago Bears were good considering how insufferable their fans have become? The conversation shifted to Associate Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia stepping down. Who ultimately made the call, and why didn’t it happen a month earlier? The guys debated whether the special teams issues were on Bisaccia or tied more to the roster-building philosophy of GM Brian Gutekunst. They also evaluated Jordan Love’s 2025 season — was it simply average? — and examined why the Packers’ year ultimately ended the way it did.

  • Jason Wilde Questions the Bisaccia Exit: “It Just Doesn’t Add Up”
    Feb 19 2026
    Rich Bisaccia is out in Green Bay, and Jason Wilde isn’t buying the easy explanation. In his appearance on Jen, Gabe & Chewy, Wilde digs into the timing of Bisaccia’s departure and why the whole situation feels off. Forty days after the Bears loss, with other teams already filling special teams jobs and assistants moving on, Wilde says the press release and glowing quotes don’t answer the real questions. Was this friction? Reflection? Something else entirely? The conversation dives into what Bisaccia actually meant to the Packers. Was he respected as a culture-setter, or just liked as “the easy teacher”? Wilde pushes back on that narrative, arguing that players respected him as both a coach and a leader. At the same time, he acknowledges the glaring special teams failures — especially in the return game — and walks through how special teams rankings really work, why Daniel Whelan’s elite punting doesn’t erase return struggles, and how one bad kicking performance can skew the perception of the entire unit.

  • Jason Wilde on The Homer Hour
    Feb 18 2026
    Packers reporter Jason Wilde joined The Homer Hour to break down Rich Bisaccia stepping down and whether a return to the college ranks could be in his future. The conversation also explored whether Bisaccia played a role in Matthew Golden not being used more as a returner, and how the Packers handled the kicking situation during Brandon McManus’ injury. Wilde also reflected on whether Bisaccia inherited a dumpster fire on special teams, if history will be kind to his tenure in Green Bay, and whether Packers fans should be concerned about finding the right replacement.
