A little more to the story from APC

The Green Bay Packers officially announced four coaching staff promotions on Tuesday. Wide receivers coach Jason Vrable will add the title of passing game coordinator in 2022 after former passing game coordinator (and quarterbacks coach) Luke Getsy was hired by the Chicago Bears as their play-calling offensive coordinator. Assistant offensive line coach Luke Butkus was promoted to offensive line coach after former offensive line coach Adam Stenavich was promoted to offensive coordinator following Nathaniel Hackett’s hire as the Denver Broncos head coach.

Former special teams assistant/game management specialist Connor Lewis was promoted to assistant quarterbacks coach. It’s worth noting that the Packers did not promote an in-house quarterbacks coach, a vacancy they still need to fill. Along with quarterbacks coach, special teams coordinator, following the firing of Maurice Drayton, is also open. With tight end coach Justin Outten’s expected to be hired in Denver as Hackett’s offensive coordinator, the Packers will likely have to find a new tight ends coach, too. Lewis, oddly enough, worked at Vanderbilt while Aaron Rodgers’ brother, Jordan, was the team’s starting quarterback.

The final promotion the Packers announced today was that Ryan Mahaffey, who was an offensive quality control coach in 2021, is now the team’s assistant offensive line coach, replacing Butkus in that role.

Green Bay’s coaching staff will be coaching at the Pro Bowl in Las Vegas this week, but they very well could be doing it three coaches short as Matt LaFleur looks to fill out his staff.

Am I the only one a little worried about this " special teams assistant/game management specialist Connor Lewis was promoted to assistant quarterbacks coach"? I saw little worthy in ST and game management often felt that other teams adjusted while we hung on for dear life. It is only an assistant job, but shouldn't promotions be based on actual accomplishments? This is the same reason why many of us questioned Mo being hired as ST coordinator from within.

Note, he's not the QB coach, but assist QB coach, which most teams don't have... they just needed to give him a title, and as an analytics guy he probably works with the QBs more than other positions.

Connor Lewis coaching history
2022: assistant quarterbacks coach

2021: special teams assistant/game management specialist

2020: offensive quality control coach, assisting offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett with a focus on the offensive line

2017-2019: football technology analyst (2016: intern)

2016-19, he helped the offensive coaching staff in data analysis, playing rules and game management.

Prior to joining the Packers, Lewis was an independent consultant for the Oakland Raiders (2015) and worked in the football analytics and information department for the New York Giants (2014). He was a mathematics major with a corporate strategy minor at Vanderbilt University (2010-14), where he also worked in the football office (2012-14), assisting the director of player personnel, the director of recruiting and the coaching staff.

Apparently Aaron Rodgers is a big fan of Connor Lewis.

From the Packer's site :

Lewis in entering his seventh season with the Packers and worked last year as special teams assistant/game management specialist. In 2020, he served as an offensive quality control coach, assisting offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett with a focus on the offensive line. Lewis originally joined the Packers in 2016 as a football technology analyst intern before being promoted to football technology analyst in 2017. From 2016-19, he helped the offensive coaching staff in data analysis, playing rules and game management. Prior to joining the Packers, Lewis was an independent consultant for the Oakland Raiders (2015) and worked in the football analytics and information department for the New York Giants (2014).

All that said, Rodgers also liked players who never amounted to much on the field. (Jake Kumerow)
