NY Giants fill last coaching spot with very qualified candidate

One of the burning questions surrounding rookie NY Giants head coach was about whether he’d be able to hire a competent coaching staff, as the Patriots made it clear they wouldn’t make it easy to surrender any of his former co-workers.

Joe Judge got the job done, anyway, and his last coaching hire may prove to be one of the best. On Friday, the Giants announced that Sean Spencer of Penn State had been officially hired as the team’s defensive line and (defensive) running game coordinator.

Spencer has been with current Penn State head coach James Franklin since 2011 and had recently been bumped up to associate head coach in addition to his duties as their defensive line coach.
