After what feels like an eternity of waiting, the Green Bay Packers have finally made a move to shore up their struggling special teams unit.
Almost two weeks ago, former special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Rich Bisaccia stepped down, and this past Friday, the Packers announced the hiring of Cameron Achord after a pretty extensive search.
While a fresh face on the Green Bay coaching staff is certainly a great start, there’s plenty of work left to do.
On paper, Cameron Accord has been a pretty average coordinator thus far.
In his first year at the head of the Patriots in 2018, he put together the NFL’s best special teams unit, but it’s been a mixed bag since, with finishes of 18th, 32nd, 25th, 19th, and 4th, with both of the past two seasons being spent as an assistant with the New York Giants.
