The next big one has to be a big one … right?
As Joe Judge puts his first NFL staff together, he already has opened plenty of eyes by eschewing marquee names (Wade Phillips, Marvin Lewis) or a proven veteran (George Edwards) or supposed rising star (Kris Richard) and instead hiring Patrick Graham as his defensive coordinator. Judge is retaining Thomas McGaughey, who did yeoman work as the Giants special teams coordinator, a solid move that makes complete sense, but certainly does not create many headlines.
Who Judge opts to bring in at offensive coordinator will tell so much about the Giants’ new 38-year-old head coach.
