Former Green Bay Packers assistant coach Rich Bisaccia may soon return to the college football ranks. Reports indicate the veteran special teams coordinator is close to landing a position with Clemson as the program continues shaping its coaching staff.
Bisaccia stepped away from his role with the Packers earlier in the offseason after spending multiple seasons with the organization. His departure came as a surprise to many around the team, as he had played an important role in guiding the special teams unit and providing leadership within Matt LaFleur’s staff.

The longtime coach has built a reputation as one of the most respected special teams minds in football. Over a career spanning decades, Bisaccia has worked with several NFL franchises and earned praise for his ability to develop disciplined units in one of the game’s most detail-oriented phases.
Before arriving in Green Bay, Bisaccia gained national attention during his tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders. He stepped into the role of interim head coach during the 2021 season and helped stabilize the team during a challenging stretch, further solidifying his reputation across the league.

Bisaccia is close to join the Tigers for next season. This is detailed more in a report by Justis Mosqueda for Acme Packing Company.
According to Tiger Illustrated, Clemson’s On3/Rivals site, former Green Bay Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia is nearing a deal with the Clemson Tigers. Per Tiger Illustrated, the deal needs to go in front of the school’s board of trustees (BOT), a sign that the contract on the table comes with major financial backing.
Bisaccia stepped down from his post in Green Bay two weeks ago, leaving the Packers with the lone coordinator vacancy open after 11 other special teams coordinators were hired around the league, including Cleveland snatching Bisaccia’s right-hand man, Byron Storer. General manager Brian Gutekunst stated at the combine that the team was not expecting Bisaccia to leave this offseason and that Bisaccia was going to pursue other opportunities.
A move to Clemson would represent a return to familiar territory for the veteran coach. Earlier in his career, Bisaccia spent time working within the college ranks, building relationships and experience that could help ease the transition back to campus.
If the reported move becomes official, Clemson would gain a coach with a wealth of experience and leadership. For Bisaccia, the opportunity would mark another chapter in a long coaching journey that has touched nearly every level of the sport.
