This one comes as a bit of a surprise considering there were no reports about the Colts having interest in Bisaccia as a candidate. However, it makes sense the Colts wanted to reach given his reputation around the league in terms of how players view him.

After coaching in the college ranks from 1983-2001, Bisaccia made the jump to the NFL, getting his start as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers special teams coordinator for six seasons (2002-2007). He added duties of assistant head coach and running backs coach in 2008 before holding the role of assistant coach and special teams coordinator for two seasons (2009-2010).
Bisaccia then became the special teams coordinator for the San Diego Chargers (2011) and then added assistant head coach duties in 2012.
After his stint with the Chargers, Bisaccia was the assistant head coach and special teams coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys (2013-2017) and then held the same role with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders (2018-2021).
After John Gruden was fired as the Raiders head coach, Bisaccia took over as the interim head coach, leading the team to a 7-5 record and a playoff berth. He was the first interim head coach to lead their team to a playoff berth since Bruce Arians did it with the Colts in 2012.
Bisaccia was then hired as the special teams coordinator for the Packers in 2022.
