Man, what a wild morning that was. What was expected to be a somewhat normal day in this head coaching search turned into a frenzy, as NY Giants fans went from panicking (me included) over ‘losing out’ on Matt Rhule (more on that later) to having a new head coach in a matter of minutes.
Joe Judge has interviewed for numerous head coaching gigs, despite ‘only’ being a special teams and wide-receivers coach, including the Giants’, but was still not considered to be a strong candidate due to his lack of meaningful experience. Apparently, John Mara and Dave Gettleman see something special in him, as they declined the chance to match Matt Rhule’s mammoth offer and brought on Judge instead.
