The New York Giants have fired special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey and offensive line coach Bobby Johnson.
The moves aren’t a surprise given the persistent issues the Giants have had on special teams over the last two years.
McGaughey was hired by the Giants in 2018, prior to which he was the ST’s coordinator for the Carolina Panthers. He replaced Tom Quinn, who was fired along with much of the 2017 coaching staff. Though, Quinn was rehired to coach special teams for the Giants while McGaughey battled cancer in 2018.
McGaughey initially found success with the Giants’ special teams, and they lead the NFL in several categories such as kick coverage, return yardage allowed, and field goal percentage.
