Ben McAdoo has hired his second new assistant, and it is a man with ties to both the Giants' new head coach and the area.
Former Rutgers offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti Jr. is expected to be the Giants' new quarterbacks coach, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to NJ Advance Media. The hire was first reported by Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo.
Cignetti, 50, served as the St. Louis Rams' offensive coordinator last season before being fired on Dec. 7. He served as the Rams' quarterbacks coach from 2012-14.
Cignetti's hiring also indirectly confirms that Mike Sullivan will be promoted from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator, as expected.
