The Tennessee Titans are set to interview Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich on Monday for their own OC opening, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. It’s a lateral move, so technically the Packers could block it-but don’t expect that to happen. Head coach Matt LaFleur has a history of paying it forward.
Back when LaFleur was Sean McVay’s offensive coordinator with the Rams, McVay allowed him to leave for a play-calling role with the Titans. That move helped launch LaFleur’s head coaching career, and it’s clear he hasn’t forgotten it.
Just last year, he gave Stenavich the green light to interview for the Seahawks’ offensive coordinator job, which eventually went to Klint Kubiak. Now, another opportunity is on the table.
If Stenavich does take the Titans job, Green Bay will likely look inward to fill the vacancy. Two familiar names come to mind: Nathaniel Hackett and Luke Getsy-both of whom have deep ties to LaFleur and the Packers’ offensive system.
Hackett was LaFleur’s original offensive coordinator in 2019 before taking the head coaching job with the Denver Broncos in 2022. That stint didn’t last long-he was let go after just one season-but NFL coaching contracts are usually guaranteed, so Hackett is still being paid by Denver through 2025. He’s currently working with the Packers in a defensive analyst role, which might sound odd until you realize how Green Bay uses these positions.
The Packers have a habit of bringing in former coaches-often with head coaching or coordinator experience-as analysts, not necessarily to coach their specialty, but to provide insight from the other side of the ball. It’s a kind of reverse engineering.
Defensive minds like Robert Saleh and Aubrey Pleasant have served as offensive analysts in Green Bay, helping the offensive staff anticipate how defenses might attack them. Hackett, with his offensive background, is now doing that for the defensive side.
There’s also a practical angle to these analyst gigs. Beyond staying involved in the game, they offer benefits like family health insurance-an increasingly important perk for coaches in between major contracts. That, more than the paycheck (which is often offset by buyouts), is what draws many of them to these roles.
Then there's Luke Getsy. He was LaFleur’s top choice to replace Hackett back in 2022, but instead took the offensive coordinator job in Chicago, and later moved on to Las Vegas.
Now he’s back in Green Bay as a senior assistant after serving as a defensive consultant in 2024. Like Hackett, Getsy is well-versed in LaFleur’s system and has play-calling experience under his belt.
With Stenavich potentially on the move, both Hackett and Getsy are logical internal candidates. They’ve been waiting in the wings, and it wouldn’t be surprising if either one stepped into the OC role should the position open up.
It’s worth noting just how rare Stenavich’s tenure has been. Heading into the 2025 season, he was the longest-tenured offensive coordinator in the NFL.
That’s just three years in the same role-an eye-opener that speaks volumes about the volatility of modern coaching staffs. In today’s NFL, where ownership groups are increasingly aggressive and buyouts are no longer a deterrent, even a short stint can feel like a lifetime.
So while the Titans weigh their options and the Packers brace for potential change, one thing’s clear: Green Bay has been preparing for this possibility. Whether it’s Hackett, Getsy, or someone else entirely, LaFleur has options-and a track record of making the most of them.
