The New York Giants are on the hunt for a new special teams coordinator and these are 8 potential candidates they could consider.
The New York Giants are in need of a new special teams coordinator after firing long-time assistant Thomas McGaughey on Monday.
Here are eight quick names the team might look at.
Note: Some of these candidates may currently be employed with other teams and would require termination (or resignation) before joining the Giants.
The only move or the first move? A report has a special teams coach out:
The Cleveland Browns have a lot of big decisions to make this offseason. Between free agency, trades and the NFL draft, the roster could look quite different in 2022.
There are some who are hopeful that there will be some changes related to coaching as well. The possibility exists that Kevin Stefanski will hand over play-calling duties to Alex Van Pelt. Both defensive line coaches have already moved on with Chris Kiffin joining his brother and Jeremy Garrett headed to Liberty University.
Change on special teams is reportedly in the air but, at this point, not the big change that fans have been calling for. According to Field Yates, Cleveland’s assistant special teams coach is no longer on staff:
A change amongst the Browns’ assistant coaching staff, as assistant special teams coach Doug Colman is no longer on the staff. He had just finished his third season in Cleveland.

The report has not been verified by the team and Colman is still listed on the team’s coaches page alongside Mike Priefer as the special teams coordinator.
The Browns special teams play struggled in 2021 with poor kicking in both phases, regular penalties and minimal explosive plays out of the return game. It is possible, like what happened with the defensive line coaches, that the assistant is first out the door with Priefer to follow but there has been no inclination of such.

A Week 15 matchup between the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns will be a revenge game for many — probably more than you realize.
The New York Giants will be entertaining some old friends when the Cleveland Browns come to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey this Sunday night.
Additionally, the Browns are going to see some familiar faces on the other side of the ball as well.
In fact, there are quite a few cross-connections here in Week 15.
