Giants Add Cam Achord as Assistant Special Teams Coach
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has hired former New England Patriots special teams coordinator Cam Achord as an assistant special teams coach on his staff, ESPN reported.
The 37-year-old Achord has been in coaching since 2010, when he began his career as a special teams graduate assistant at Southern Mississippi. In 2013, he joined Southwest Mississippi Community College, where he was the special teams coordinator, quarterbacks coach, running backs coach, and tight ends coach. In 2017, he received the offensive coordinator role on top of his other duties with the school.
Achord was hired by former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick as a special teams assistant, a role he held from 2018 through 2019. Achord was promoted to special teams coordinator in 2020 after Joe Judge, the Patriots' previous special teams coordinator, was hired as the New York Giants head coach in 2020.
Achord held the special teams coordinator role with New England through last season.
The Giants had an opening for a special teams assistant after reassigning Mike "Pop" Adams, who had been in the role, to assistant secondary coach last month as part of a coaching staff reconfiguration.
