Giants hire Stephen Thomas, announce other coaching changes

The New York Giants hire Stephen Thomas as their assistant special teams coach and announce several other coaching changes.

The New York Giants have hired Stephen Thomas to serve as an assistant special teams coach.

Thomas will work under assistant special teams coordinator Anthony Blevins and special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey.

Thomas had spent the previous four seasons with the Detroit Lions as their defensive quality control coach. Prior to that, he served as inside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at Princeton University for six seasons.

In the middle of his span with Princeton, Thomas spent one season (2015) as an assistant with the Philadelphia Eagles. He had also previously interned with the Buffalo Bills and coached at SUNY Cortland.

In addition to Thomas, the Giants also officially announced the hires of running backs coach Jeff Nixon, assistant offensive line coach Chris Smith, and offensive assistant Christian Daboll.

Meanwhile, the team revealed a few title changes and promotions.

Michael Treier, who was the assistant defensive backs coach last season, is now the safeties coach. Christian Jones is the new assistant quarterbacks coach after serving as an offensive assistant in 2022. And, finally, Angela Baker has been promoted from offensive quality control coach to offensive assistant.

Giants hire Christian Daboll as an offensive assistant

The New York Giants have hired Christian Daboll, son of head coach Brian Daboll, as an entry-level offensive assistant.

The New York Giants have hired Christian Daboll, the son of head coach Brian Daboll, as an entry-level offensive assistant.

Although no official announcement was made, Daboll’s name was added to the coaches section of the official team website. The New York Post later confirmed the hire.

It’s not unusual for large NFL staffs to include relatives and even father-son pairings. Giants defensive assistant Kevin Wilkins is the younger brother of outside linebackers coach Drew Wilkins.

Daboll had spent the past three-plus years working as a student-coach at Penn State University. In 2022, he took on the responsibility of signaling in the plays.

It’s unclear what, exactly, Daboll will be doing as an offensive assistant for the Giants, but a little extra Dabes in East Rutherford can’t hurt.
