When it comes to Bill Belichick, you can always go home again.
Former Giants head coach Joe Judge is returning to his Patriots roots as New England announced Tuesday that he has been hired as an offensive assistant on Belichick’s staff.
Judge survived Black Monday last month only to get fired by the Giants the day after.
The former Patriots special teams coordinator who wowed owner John Mara two years ago to be the surprise replacement for Pat Shumur, won the occasional press conference but not much beyond that. Judge went 10-23 in his two seasons leading Big Blue and didn’t make any progress lifting the team out of doldrums — especially on the offensive side of the ball.
