Giants to hire Jerry Schuplinski: 3 things to know

The New York Giants are expected to hire Jerry Schuplinski as their quarterbacks coach, so here are three things to know.

The New York Giants seem to be raiding the Miami Dolphins’ coaching staff. First, they poached Patrick Graham to be the defensive coordinator. Now they’ve reportedly snared quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski.

Here’s three things to know about Shuplinski:

Like Joe Judge, he comes from solid stock

Schuplinski and Judge both coached under Bill Belichick in New England and are three-time Super Bowl champions (XLIX, LI, LIII). Shuplinski first joined the Pats’ staff as an offensive assistant in 2015, then moved up to assistant quarterbacks coach in 2016.

Last season, Schuplinski left the Pats to join Brian Flores’ staff in Miami where he was the QB coach.

Report: Giants to hire assistants Jerry Schuplinski, Freddie Roach

The New York Giants are expected to hire QB coach Jerry Schuplinski and defensive line coach Freddie Roach.

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge continued to fill out his staff on Monday, reportedly hiring two more assistants in quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski and defensive line coach Freddie Roach.

Schuplinski, a three-time Super Bowl champion as a member of the New England Patriots, spent the past year-plus serving as the assistant quarterbacks coach of the Miami Dolphins. That’s the same title he held with the Patriots from 2016-2018, having previously served as an offensive assistant (2013-2015).

Prior to his time in the NFL, Schuplinski was a special teams coordinator and linebackers coach for Case Western Reserve (intercollegiate football in Cleveland, Ohio), the head coach at Trinity High School in Garfield Heights, Ohio and a graduate assistant at John Carroll University.

The Dolphins next offensive coordinator could already be in house

The Miami Dolphins surprised by firing offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea after one season. Could his replacement already be here?

As Black Monday approached, Dolphins fans seemed to have nothing to worry about — after all, this team had overachieved but they were still 5-11, the coaching staff didn’t appear set to lose any critical pieces. And then news broke that offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea and two other assistants had been fired. The decision is a surprising one for Miami, catching a lot of folks off guard.

But there may be a method to the madness.

When Brian Flores was brought in as the head coach of the Miami Dolphins, he poached O’Shea, who was the wide receiver coach of the New England Patriots. Flores is well versed in the art of poaching assistants, which may well be the reason he fired O’Shea.

The Dolphins’ coaching staff thinks very highly — and rightfully so — of assistant quarterback coach Jerry Schuplinski. Schuplinski, who served as Miami’s full-time quarterback coach this season in the absence of Jim Caldwell, may well have been under siege from another potential head coaching hire elsewhere this winter.

That man is New England Patriots’ offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Heck, back in 2018, Schuplinski was reported to be McDaniels’ choice for offensive coordinator with the Colts before McDaniels bailed on the gig. When McDaniels did not take the job, Schuplinski remained the assistant quarterback coach of the Patriots.

According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, Josh McDaniels is up for three different head coaching jobs again this offseason. Two of these jobs have young quarterbacks that need to be developed, which means Schuplinski would have appeal to McDaniels once more.

Now that Flores has fired O’Shea, the Dolphins are positioned to promote Schuplinksi to offensive coordinator, should they so desire. By doing so, Brian Flores can now protect himself and the Dolphins staff by having the ability to block interviews for a lateral job change, thus blocking any coach — namely McDaniels — from poaching him.
