Luke Getsy was a 30-year-old offensive quality control coach, beginning his first season in the NFL, when Aaron Rodgers and the Packers lost their 2014 season opener in Seattle by 20. Playing on “Thursday Night Football” against the defending Super Bowl champs, Rodgers had an 81.5 passer rating. The Packers won five of their next six, though, and five of their next six again, and finished 12-4.
Getsy was the Packers’ quarterbacks coach/pass game coordinator last season when the Packers lost their season opener 38-3 to the Saints. Rodgers had a passer rating of 36.8. Rodgers won 13 of his next 14 games, though, and the Packers landed the top playoff seed.
