The Packers are moving quickly to replace special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia after he suddenly stepped down this week. Their first three candidates are Cameron Achord, Tom McMahon, and Kyle Wilber, per Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber.
Achord, 39, has been the Giants’ assistant special teams coach since 2024. He was retained by new head coach John Harbaugh after New York’s solid special teams effort in 2025, which featured top-10 finishes in yards per kickoff return and average starting field position. Achord previously worked for the Patriots, winning a Super Bowl in his first year as an assistant special teams coach and receiving a promotion to coordinator in 2020. He left New England when Bill Belichick‘s tenure ended in 2023 and quickly signed on with Brian Daboll in New York.
McMahon, 56, was fired by the Raiders during the 2025 season, his fourth as the team’s special teams coordinator. He was originally hired by Josh McDaniels in 2022 and survived the team’s head coaching change to Antonio Pierce in 2024. McMahon was retained by Pete Carroll in 2025, but a disastrous year from Las Vegas’ special teams units led to his firing in November. McMahon previously held STC jobs with the Rams (2009-2011), Chiefs (2012), Colts (2013-2017), and Broncos (2018-2021).
Wilber, 36, is entering his second year as the Saints’ assistant special teams coach. He was a linebacker and special teams ace for the Cowboys and the Raiders for a decade before he moved into coaching. His first job as the Packers’ special teams quality control coach (2023-2024) may give him a leg up in the race for the open job in Green Bay.
