The New York Giants continued staff building on Saturday, reportedly adding two more members to Joe Judge’s team and, in the process, letting it be known that Aaron Wellman will remain in charge as the strength and conditioning coach.
The first addition came by way of Sam Coad, who will join the Giants as a performance manager/assistant strength coach. He will serve under Wellman.
Minor change under Joe Judge. Sam Coad was hired as Performance Manager/Assistant Strength coach. The strength and conditioning program remains run by Aaron Wellman, extremely well respected who has now stretched to three coaching regimes.

Along with Coad, the Giants are also reportedly adding Tennessee inside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator Kevin Sherrer.
Inside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator Kevin Sherrer is expected to leave the Vols to join the staff of the NFL’s New York Giants for new coach Joe Judge, sources told GoVols247 on Saturday night.

Sherrer, who came over from Georgia to be part of the initial staff Jeremy Pruitt hired when he became the head coach at Tennessee a little more than two years ago, coached the inside linebackers the past two seasons he’s handled a couple of different other roles, first as the defensive coordinator in 2018 before the hire of Derrick Ansley prompted the Vols to shift Sherrer over to special teams duties.
He was one of the highest earners on Tennessee’s staff with a $700,000 salary and still had another year to run on his contract, which was set to run through the end of January 2021.
The 46-year-old Sherrer played tight end at Alabama and has both a Bachelor’s in Physical Education and a Master’s in Higher Education Administration. He’s spent time on the staff of Nick Saban in Alabama and with Georgia in 2017 before arriving in Tennessee.
While at Georgia, Sherrer worked directly with current Giants linebacker Lorenzo Carter.
