Renaldo Hill begins his second season with Carolina as the secondaries coach. Following a 10-year playing career,Hill has 12 years of coaching experience, including seven years in the NFL.

In his first season in Carolina (2025), Hill oversaw a second straight Pro Bowl season from cornerback Jaycee Horn, as the Panthers defense forced 21 takeaways, tied for the 10th most in the league. Horn, who tied for the lead among all NFL corners with five, and cornerback Mike Jackson combined for nine of the team's eighth ranked 15 interceptions. Between Horn (five) and Jackson (four), the Panthers were one of only six teams to have multiple players with at least four interceptions. Additionally, Jackson tied for the league lead with a career-high 19 passes defensed.

Hill also helped guide safety Tre'von Moehrig to career highs in sacks (3.0) and tackles for loss (14) in his first year as a Panther. His 14 tackles for loss led all defensive backs in the NFL, marking the most by any defensive back in a single season since 1999. Safety Nick Scott set a career high with 109 tackles, while safety Lathan Ransom was one of only three rookies to record an interception, sack and forced fumble.

In 2023, Hill was a part of a Dolphins defense that ranked 10th in total defense, allowing just 318.3 yards per game, the first time Miami finished a season with a top 10 defense since 2010. The Dolphins defense scored on interceptions returned for touchdowns four times. It was the second most in the NFL that season and just one shy of the team record set in 2001. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey missed the first seven games of the 2023 season due to an injury suffered in training camp, but his presence was immediately felt when he returned, and he earned a Pro Bowl selection in his first year with Miami. In the 10 regular-season games Ramsey played, he picked off three passes, which was tied for seventh in the NFL since his return in Week 8.

Prior to his return to Miami, Hill spent two seasons as defensive coordinator for the Chargers (2021-22). The 2022 Chargers finished 10-7 and made their first postseason appearance since 2018. Under Hill's tutelage, safety Derwin James Jr. and linebacker Khalil Mack each earned Pro Bowl selections and James was also named second-team All-Pro in addition to AFC Defensive Player of the Month (November) after totaling 37 tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception. In the final five weeks of the season, the defense ranked third in scoring and total defense and fourth in passing defense as Los Angeles went 4-1 in that span and secured a spot in the postseason.

In Hill's first season leading their defense, the Chargers led the NFL in strip sacks with 11 and ranked third in the league with 19 forced fumbles. Outside linebacker Joey Bosa accounted for a league-best seven strip-sacks and earned his third-straight Pro Bowl appearance.

As the defensive backs coach for the Broncos (2019-20), Hill coached safety Justin Simmons to his first Pro Bowl appearance (2020) following a career-best five-interception season. Simmons also earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2019 as the unit helped Denver rank 11th in pass defense.

In 2018, Hill helped the Dolphins secondary become one of the best in the NFL at creating turnovers. The unit was led by cornerback Xavien Howard, who was selected to his first Pro Bowl after a league-leading seven interceptions. When targeted, Miami's defensive backs combined for 17 picks, good for the second-most in the NFL, and allowed a 93.1 passer rating for opposing quarterbacks, the ninth-lowest in the league. Hill also helped develop rookie safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, whose two interceptions were tied for seventh among NFL rookies while his 80 tackles ranked 10th.

Following a 10-year NFL career as a safety, Hill entered the collegiate coaching ranks. He spent 2015-17 seasons as the secondary coach at the University of Pittsburgh. In 2017, Hill coached two All-ACC honorees as senior cornerback Avonte Maddox earned third-team honors and junior safety Jordan Whitehead earned honorable mentionbefore both were selected in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft. In three seasons under Hill, Whitehead earnedmultiple All-ACC honors as well as becoming the first defensive player to earn ACC Rookie of the Year honors since 1996.

Hill began his coaching career at Wyoming (2012-13) where he served as a graduate assistant (2012) before he was promoted to cornerbacks coach (2013). Safety Marqueston Huff, who earned second-team All-Mountain West honors (2013) before becoming a fourth-round pick (2014).

During his playing career, Hill played 10 NFL seasons for four different teams – Arizona (2001-04), Oakland(2005), Miami (2006-08) and Denver (2009-10). In 141 games (114 starts), he totaled 19 interceptions afteroriginally entering the league as a seventh-round pick by Cardinals (2001).
