Clemson Hires Rich Bisaccia as Special Teams Coordinator

The veteran NFL coach returns to Clemson, where he coached in the 1990s, after stepping down from Green Bay last month.

Overview

  • Clemson’s Board of Trustees compensation committee approved the move Wednesday, and Dabo Swinney announced Bisaccia to lead the Tigers’ special teams.
  • Bisaccia previously served as the Green Bay Packers’ special teams coordinator for four seasons before resigning on Feb. 17, a departure the team’s GM said was unexpected.
  • His résumé includes stints coordinating special teams for the Buccaneers, Chargers, Cowboys and Raiders, plus a 2021 interim head-coach run in Las Vegas that reached the playoffs.
  • He replaces Will Gilchrist, who left Clemson to become an assistant coach at Samford earlier this year.
  • Green Bay has replaced Bisaccia by hiring Cam Achord as its new special teams coordinator.
