Clemson Hires Former Packers Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia
Rich Bisaccia returns to Clemson as special teams coordinator after stepping down from Green Bay Packers, bringing extensive NFL and prior Clemson coaching experience.
- On Wednesday, Clemson announced Rich Bisaccia as special teams coordinator after the Clemson University Board of Trustees' compensation committee approved the hire.
- Bisaccia, who coached at Clemson from 1994-98, stepped down from the Packers on Feb. 17 after four seasons as their special teams coordinator and has coached since 1983.
- With signing bonus, Bisaccia will make $1,000,000 next season, surpassing Will Gilchrist's $170,000 2025 pay, and agreed to a 1-year, $900,000 deal at Clemson.
- Bisaccia takes over for Will Gilchrist, who left after two seasons to join Samford, as Clemson seeks to address 2025 special teams issues including a 100-yard kick return and failed fake-punt.
- Swinney said 'But with the changing of the rules to allow everybody to coach on the field and where he was in his career, he really wanted to finish here at Clemson', and Bisaccia expressed that returning to Clemson holds special meaning for his family.
