Getsy has had success and experience as a coach, starting as a college quarterback at Pittsburgh and the University of Akron.

As a quarterback at Akron, Getsy led the Zips to their first-ever conference title and accomplished many things as a player.

After his time with Akron and Pittsburgh, Getsy coached at Western Michigan with current University of Minnesota Coach P.J. Fleck, and had great success.

Getsy later gets an opportunity to be the offensive coordinator at Mississippi State, and the Bulldogs averaged 29 points per game, 11th in the strength of schedule, 397 offensive yards and only one turnover against SEC talent. 

Getsy earned respect in the NFL after his success with the Bulldogs and his first experience in the league was with the Green Bay Packers as an offensive quality control coach and later wide receivers coach. He succeeded greatly, participating in six winning seasons with the Packers.

Overall, Getsy has had lots of success and experience as an NFL coach, and it will be fascinating to see what he will bring as the offensive coordinator for the Silver and Black.
