In another unexpected hire Monday, Joe Judge and the NY Giants added former Tennessee Volunteers head coach Derek Dooley to what is getting to be a crowded offensive coaching room. Dooley has a wealth of experience in both college and the NFL, most recently serving in the NFL as Jason Garrett’s wide receivers coach in Dallas from 2013-2017.
The Jason Garrett connection seems to be the obvious reason for the hire, as the two longtime coaches have worked together in two different stops. Dooley also spent seven years early on in his career coaching under Nick Saban at both LSU and with the Miami Dolphins.
