Clemson Officially Hires Bisaccia

CLEMSON — Clemson University’s Board of Trustees’ Compensation Committee officially approved the hiring of Rich Bisaccia as football’s special teams coordinator.

The Compensation Committee approved Bisaccia as Dabo Swinney’s newest coach in a called meeting on Wednesday morning. Bisaccia’s deal is a one-year contract worth $900,000 with a retention bonus worth $100,000 more if he is still employed at Clemson on July 1, 2026.

“His experience and expertise in all things football — not just special teams — are a huge value to us,” Swinney said in a release from the university. “He’s a leader of men, and I think his perspective and his lens joining our organization will be incredibly valuable even beyond the impact that he’ll make on our special teams.
