New York Giants Ring of Honor member Chris Snee, after being turned down by his old team for a scouting position earlier this year, has caught on with another one of his former teams, the Boston College Eagles.
Boston College head football coach Jeff Hafley announced the addition of Snee to his staff on Tuesday as an analyst “concentrating in player personnel and scouting.”
“We are excited to have Chris join our staff and welcome him back home to Boston College,” said Hafley. “He was an All-Pro player, a two-time Super Bowl champion, and has worked at the highest level in player personnel and scouting. Chris will be a huge asset to our staff and our football team.”
Snee, now 40, had spoken earlier in the year with new Giants’ general manager Joe Schoen about a similar position but no agreement could be met.
The Giants are clearly divesting themselves from as much of their recent past as they can. There’s still work to do in that area but the decision to not hire Snee, the son-in-law of former head coach Tom Coughlin, sends a message that the new regime will be just that — new.
Snee was selected 34th overall by the Giants in the 2004 NFL draft out of Boston College and went on to start all 141 games of his 10-year career as a right guard for the Big Blue. He was part of an offensive line that led the Giants to two Super Bowl championships and was named to the Pro Bowl four times over his ten-year NFL career — all with the Giants.
