Andy Hill enters his third season as the assistant special teams coach with the Chiefs in 2022.

In 2021, the special teams unit ranked first in punt return yards allowed per return (4.9) and fifth in average kickoff yards allowed (19.4). P Tommy Townsend won AFC Special Teams Player of the Week (Week 9) and AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November. In the Week 9 game versus Green Bay, Townsend landed five of six punts inside the 20 for an average of 56.8 yards. During the Week 11 game at Las Vegas, Townsend completed a pass for 16 yards to WR Marcus Kemp in the fourth quarter on a punt fake.

In his first NFL season, Hill assisted with a special teams unit that finished fourth in the NFL in kick return average (25.8). He also mentored rookie P Tommy Townsend who was graded as the eighth-best punter in the NFL by Pro Football Focus, finishing the year with 20 punts inside the 20.

Prior to the NFL, he previously spent 24 seasons (1996-2019) at the University of Missouri, making him the second longest tenured assistant coach in MU football history. In 2018, Hill became Mizzou's first-ever special teams coordinator, after 19 seasons working with the receivers and three seasons with the quarterbacks.

During his final season at Mizzou, Hill mentored senior Richaud Floyd who finished fourth in the country in punt return yards logging 15 punt returns for 206 yards with a 13.7 yard average.

Mizzou's 2018 Liberty Bowl appearance marked the 17th bowl game he has been part of as a player or coach with the Tigers – meaning Hill has had a hand in more than half of MU's 33-game bowl game history. In his first season as special teams coordinator in 2018, his unit produced three blocked kicks on the season, which ranked as 19th-best in the nation, and third-best in the Southeastern Conference. The punt team's net punting average of 39.43 yards per kick ranked 27th in the NCAA in 2018, and senior P Corey Fatony ranked 16th nationally in the individual punting stats with his 44.4 average per attempt. During his time with the receivers he coached seven out of Mizzou's eight 1,000-yard receiving seasons in school history. He has spent 2013-15 coaching Mizzou's quarterbacks, including mentoring Denver Broncos QB Drew Lock as a freshman starter in 2015.

Prior to his tenure at Missouri, Hill was the head football coach at Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College (1994-95). Hutchinson went 18-6 under Hill, including a 10-2 record in 1995 when it won its first conference title since 1969 and ranked ninth in the final NJCAA national poll. He was named the conference Coach of the Year. Hill was the offensive coordinator at Hutchinson in 1992 and 1993 after serving as a graduate assistant at SMU in the spring of 1992.

Hill is a Mizzou grad who walked on the Tiger football team in 1980 and eventually earned a scholarship. He lettered in 1980, '81, '83 and '84 and played on Missouri teams that earned trips to the Liberty, Tangerine and Holiday Bowls. In his career, Hill caught 51 passes for 946 yards and scored seven touchdowns. As a senior, he caught 25 passes for 445 yards and three scores. Following his playing days at Missouri, he spent time in the training camps of the Kansas City Chiefs and Calgary Stampeders in 1985 and '86.
