He has spent the last two seasons on the USC staff after working as a special assistant to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian or the 2023 season. Prior to that stop in Austin, DeCamillis was in the NFL for 34 seasons, 32 as special teams coordinator. He was part of Super Bowl winning teams in Denver after the 2015 season and the Los Angeles Rams for the 2021 season.
The Raiders just hired former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as head coach. Kubiak was on the staff in Denver in 2016 when DeCamillis was the Broncos’ special teams coordinator.
DeCamillis began his NFL career as an administrative assistant for his father-in-law, then-Denver head coach Dan Reeves, a former South Carolina football standout who also was a head coach for the Giants and the Falcons.
He was nominated for the Broyles Award in his second season with the Gamecocks after he oversaw a special teams unit which had a new player in every specialist role. Mason Love was named Freshman All-SEC after he averaged 45.1 yards per punt, the league’s third-best mark.Â
Returner Vicari Swain was named All-SEC after averaging 15.9-yards per punt return with three touchdowns. That tied the program’s single season which was set in 1971.Â
