The New York Giants continued their head coaching search on Monday, sitting down with New England Patriots special teams coordinator/wide receivers coach Joe Judge mere hours after it was revealed that Mike McCarthy had been hired by the Dallas Cowboys.
Per the Giants press release:
[Judge] met with Giants president John Mara, general manager Dave Gettleman, vice president of football operations Kevin Abrams and other staff at the team’s headquarters, the Quest Diagnostics Training Center.
The Giants interviewed four candidates last week: Dallas Cowboys defensive passing game coordinator and secondary coach Kris Richard, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Don Martindale and Mike McCarthy, the former Green Bay Packers coach.
Pat Shurmur was dismissed as Giants head coach on Monday.
Judge broke into coaching in 2005 as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State before moving onto Birmingham–Southern as a linebackers coach. But his big break came in 2009 when he joined Nick Saban’s Alabama staff as a special teams assistant.
In 2012, Judge jumped to the NFL level and was added to Bill Belichick’s staff, first as a special teams assistant and later the special teams coordinator. In 2019, he added the title of wide receivers coach.
