It’s time to start the interview tracker and take a look at the names that head coach Matt LaFleur is bringing in to lead the kicking game.
All of these interviews have been reported by Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber , unless otherwise noted.
Cameron Achord (free agent) Seasons as special teams coordinator 2020: Patriots ( 1st in DVOA ) 2021: Patriots (18th) 2022: Patriots (32nd) 2023: Patriots (28th) Cameron Achord spent the last two years with the New York Giants as the team’s assistant special teams coach, but he wasn’t retained by new head coach John Harbaugh in 2026.
Achord also served in the assistant special teams coach role for two seasons (2018 to 2019) to start his NFL career before being promoted to the special teams coordinator role in New England in 2020, when he replaced Joe Judge, who was hired to be the head coach of the Giants.
Achord’s career started off hot, as the Patriots were the top team in special teams DVOA in 2020, before they averaged the 26th finish over his last three years in New England, a rarity under head coach Bill Belichick. For what it’s worth, Bisaccia’s units averaged a 21st-place finish in his four years in Green Bay.
Kyle Wilber (Saints assistant special teams coach) Seasons as special teams coordinator None LaFleur seems to still be interested in the Bisaccia coaching tree, as Kyle Wilber is one of his disciples.
After playing for Bisaccia for nine seasons (in his ten-year NFL career) over two stops, Wilber joined the Packers as their special teams quality control coach (the third-ranked position in Green Bay’s special teams room) in 2023. In 2025, he received a promotion with the New Orleans Saints, where he was the number two to Phil Galiano.
Wilber had no prior coaching experience before Bisaccia hired him to the entry-level role. With Bisaccia gone and his number two taking the Cleveland Browns’ job a week before Bisaccia stepped down, the Packers’ opportunities to tap into the Bisaccia tree are either Wilber or Green Bay’s current quality control coach Cory Harkey.
Matthew Smiley (free agent) Seasons as special teams coordinator 2022: Bills (1st) 2023: Bills (15th) 2024: Bills (28th) Like Achord, Matthew Smiley’s story can be best described as a hot start before his units began slipping downhill. Before his three-year stint as a coordinator in Buffalo, Smiley was the assistant special teams coach in Jacksonville (2013 to 2016) and Buffalo (2017 to 2021).
