Ex-Giant Rich Seubert named the 2023 Somerset County Coach of the Year

Retired New York Giants OL Rich Seubert has been named the 2023 Somerset County Coach of the Year.

Rich Seubert, the gritty guard who was a staple on the New York Giants’ Super Bowl XLII championship team, has been named the 2023 Somerset County Coach of the Year.

The honor was handed out by the Bill Denny/Rutgers Football Letterwinners Chapter of the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame.

Seubert is the head coach at Watchung Hills Regional High School in Somerset County, New Jersey. They had an 8-3 record in 2023 and lost in the semifinal round of the NJSIAA Tournament (Section 1, Group 5).

Seubert, who started 88 games for the Giants, has been the head coach at Watchung Hills since 2016.

Many New York Giants fans may not remember offensive lineman/long snapper Grey Ruegamer, but he was an integral part of the team during their Super Bowl run under head coach Tom Coughlin in the 2007 season.

Ruegamer was also known for his penchant for pulling pranks on his teammates.

“He’s a big stall guy,” said guard Chris Snee. “If you’re going to the bathroom, he likes to throw a wet towel over the stall or other silly stuff like that. But one thing about Grey is that he’s a lot of fun in tense situations. He’s the guy who will crack a joke to make you laugh when you need it most.”

One of his best was on guard Rich Seubert, who was no slouch himself when it came to pranks.

“You see a lot of dead seagulls outside Giants Stadium, most of them because they were hit by cars,” Seubert said. “One day, Grey put one of those dead seagulls in the back of my truck and covered it up with water bottles. A few weeks later, I start cleaning out the back and I see this big white thing. It was a seagull and it was as big as a few bowling balls and it stunk like you wouldn’t believe.”

Seubert said he didn’t even consider revenge on Ruegamer as it would likely be futile.

“I don’t even bother to try getting him back. He’s got too much time on his hands to (be) messing around with.”

Shaun O’Hara: Giants’ Shane Lemieux reminds me of Rich Seubert

Shaun O’Hara says New York Giants rookie offensive lineman Shane Lemieux reminds him of Rich Seubert.

Former New York Giants Pro Bowl center and NFL Network studio analyst Shaun O’Hara was recently asked on the air if he felt the Giants were doing enough to support second year quarterback Daniel Jones.

General manager Dave Gettleman has concentrated his efforts on shoring up the offensive line by signing veteran swing tackle Cameron Fleming and using three of his first five selections in this year’s NFL Draft on offensive lineman.

The Giants also hired former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett as their new offensive coordinator. Garrett brought Marc Colombo along with him to be his offensive line coach. That is a major upgrade over the previous regime.

But O’Hara was mostly impressed with the particular players the Giants chose to bring in. First round pick Andrew Thomas of Georgia, a massive, experienced tackle with a history of versatility and production is the most important addition.

“By taking Andrew Thomas fourth overall they secured the best tackle in this draft and its a position the Giants needed to address for the future,” O’Hara said on NFL Total Access Live. “He’s the only tackle in this draft that started at both right tackle and left tackle at a high level. There’s no question about whether he can play both sides.”

O’Hara believes the Giants will start Thomas first at right tackle, leaving Nate Solder to start at left tackle again. That is not optimal however, unless Solder can stop his free fall which began last year. His decline in play is of major concern to the Giants and one of the reasons they have been begun to load up at tackle this offseason.

The Giants also selected a tackle in the third round, Matt Peart of UConn, who O’Hara called a ‘developmental’ player. Oregon guard Shane Lemieux is an interesting kid the Giants added in Round 5. O’Hara sees him as a ‘utility lineman right out of the gate’ and reminiscent of Giants’ linemen of the past.

“He’s a solid player who reminds me a lot of Rich Seubert, a buddy of mine who played to my left, very savvy, very tough,” O’Hara said of Lemieux.

It is believed that Lemieux will be tried at center, a position he didn’t play in college, but at the very least will add depth to the Giants’ interior line.
