Joe Judge knows special teams. And so, that he is retaining Thomas McGaughey from Pat Shurmur’s staff is a significant development.
The new Giants head coach, set to be introduced Thursday afternoon at a press conference at MetLife Stadium, was entrusted by Bill Belichick with the special teams with the Patriots, so that aspect of the game figures to be near and dear to Judge’s heart. As he puts his first Giants coaching staff together, he will not have to find someone to handle that part of the game, and McGaughey will return, The Post confirmed.
