Try this again: More #Giants assistants coming together: QB coach is expected to be Jerry Schuplinski, sources said. Was assistant QB coach for the #Dolphins, who will let him reunite with Joe Judge. Schuplinski was with the #Patriots 2013-18.
Thanks. I thought we were getting a cartoon expert when I saw WB :-)

Here's an article with some comments from Garoppolo.
From July 2019. - ( New Window )
I would put it differently. I think he is going with people who know, share, and are able to teach his vision, the patriots one, of a team.
Yes Graham and Schuplinski were with him on the Pats but what happened to "not just going to hire his friends"?
Not to mention we are poaching from one of the worst teams in the league?

Starting to feel like this is going to be the case
named assistant quarterbacks coach on Feb. 8, 2019.
Schuplinski has been part of three Super Bowl winning teams (XLIX, LI and LIII) during his six seasons
(2013-18) as an NFL coach with New England. His teams won four AFC titles and advanced to the conference
championship in all six years.
Schuplinski spent the past three seasons (2016-18) in New England as the assistant quarterbacks coach,
working closely with Tom Brady. In 2018, the Patriots won Super Bowl LIII while finishing eighth in passing,
averaging 266.1 net passing yards per game. Brady was seventh in the NFL with 4,355 passing yards and 10th
with 29 passing touchdowns, earning his 14th Pro Bowl selection.
In 2017, Schuplinski helped Brady win the league’s Most Valuable Player award for the third time in
his career. Brady was the NFL’s leading passer, throwing for 4,577 yards. His 32 passing touchdowns
and 102.8 passer rating were both third in the league.
The Patriots led the NFL in total offense,
averaging 394.2 yards per game, and finished second in scoring, averaging 28.6 points per game.
In Schuplinski’s first season as assistant quarterbacks coach in 2016, the Patriots won Super Bowl LI. Brady
was named Super Bowl MVP after he passed for 466 yards and two touchdowns in a dramatic come-frombehind overtime victory against Atlanta. Patriots quarterbacks set an NFL record with 258 pass attempts to
start the season without an interception. The team threw just two interceptions all season, setting an NFL
record for best touchdown to interception ratio (16.0) in a single season. With Brady out for the first four
games of the season, Schuplinski worked with quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett, helping
the team go 3-1 in Brady’s absence.
Schuplinski got his start in the NFL in 2013 with the Patriots as a coaching assistant, a position he held for
three seasons (2013-15). During those three years, New England won Super Bowl XLIX and compiled a 36-12
(.750) regular-season record. The Patriots earned a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs in all three seasons.
Prior to New England, Schuplinski spent six seasons (2007-12) as the linebackers and special teams coach
at Case Western Reserve. During his tenure, Schuplinski mentored 22 University Athletic Association (NCAA
Division III) all-conference selections.
Schuplinski was head coach and athletics director at Trinity High School in Garfield Heights, Ohio from
2002-06.
He began his coaching career as a running backs and special teams coach at his alma mater, John
Carroll, from 2000-01.
Schuplinski played collegiately at John Carroll, where he was college teammates with former NFL
linebacker London Fletcher and Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio and offensive coordinator/
quarterbacks coach Josh McDaniels.
He graduated from the school with his bachelor’s degree in business
administration/marketing in 1999 and his master’s degree in business administration in 2001.
Schuplinski and his wife, Megan, have four daughters, Macy, Bryn, Jaxi and Josy. His last name is
pronounced shu-PLIN-skee.
No worries. I get it. Tried to repost but could for a few minutes. What’s funny is Garafolo called him Matt in the tweet. Is that what he goes by? Or was that a mistake on his part?
But, I'm cautiously optimistic.

You'll see these types of connections no matter who you look at.
My biggest failing: Not calling Bucknellian Doug Lebda when he brought Lending Tree to Charlotte. We were in the same class!
Is there something I am not seeing with that the Dolphins were some kind of success on the field this year?

Why would you be worried about the new HC hiring the guys he wants to hire? I just don't understand, if he isn't hiring the names you are familiar with, is he already doing a bad job?
And I also dont udnerstand the mentality that Coach X coached on Team Y, therefore because of Team Y's results Coach X must suck. It is never as simple as that.

No, your biggest failure was not becoming general manager of the US Men's National Team ...

Well their talent base is the worst in the league, and they overperformed. 5-4 in the last nine games, which is a testament to the coaching

Most likely, he's either going to be picking guys he's worked with and whose qualities he knows, or he's going to follow Gettleman's recommendations on a staff. Which do you prefer?

These are coaches that judge has seen operate. He knows what they can do and their personalities. I don't see this as doing favors for friends. He is bringing guys in that he trusts and knows. Big difference. If you are going to bring people in to instill your vision and beliefs, wouldn't you want to bring in known people instead of unknowns?
I will be interested to see how the rest of his staff goes and curious where he goes for offensive coordinator.
As far as basing anything off of the dolphins, well 1 year does not outweigh the years that judge has seen these coaches operate, especially the huge undertaking that these coaches took with miami

Because he's not even 40 years old and is picking an entire staff of young guys. I trust what he's doing, that's why I said I'm getting a little worried.
I understand your second argument too, and that's just it - it's never as simple as that. It's not black and white but the opposite also rings true. There's been many coaches that were on shitty teams and still...well, sucked. Especially with a young QB I want to see a proven guy in there.
Big difference.
True, if we were taking Dolphins coaches, we'd hire Adam Gase.
Sounds to me like the OC is going to be familiar with all these guys too maybe someone from the Patriots
I don't think Chad O'Shea will have any problems with Schuplinski as his QB Coach

Basically, I believe thats correct. FLores came from the Patriots and raided their coaching staff to fill out his staff......and it appears we are doing the same thing with some of the guys he brought with him from NE...via South Beach.

Yup, even a cursory review of resumes tells you both of the last hires were weaned in the Patriots system and ONLY spent one each each with the Dolphins.
So what do you think?
They're smart and they keep their wives very busy.

Why the Miami Dolphins fired Chad O’Shea and what it means for Jerry Schuplinski - ( New Window )
Maybe that HBO special with Saban and Belichick is true about them getting pissed with the poaching of their staff. The next best thing is to get someone who is one year removed!

Nick Caserio – Director of Player Personnel, New England Patriots
London Fletcher – professional football player, St. Louis Rams, Buffalo Bills, and Washington Redskins

Greg Roman – Offensive Coordinator, Bltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers

Definitely, there is no shot any of these names would have been in DG's Rolodex.
Big difference.
Right, don't know why the confusion. Had they never coached in NE they wouldn't be here. And judging anything off of the 2019 Dolphins is pointless - pretend it didn't happen as far as the Giants are concerned.
Yes Graham and Schuplinski were with him on the Pats but what happened to "not just going to hire his friends"?

Talent wise they were. They were better coached than our more talented Giants team.
This article implies Schuplinski will soon be an OC somewhere ... so either JJ believes he’s a 1 year coach for DJ ... or the potential heir with the Giants if they hire Garrett and then he leaves in a year or 2. In any event, I like the way this is coming together but who will be the OL guru ???
Fitz was coached last year by Schuplinski.
To me, I could not think of a better mentor/backup for Jones.

Agree with all of this unless he's looking for big money
This. Judge wants to institute a new system (one would think based on the Patriots's system) and so it's helpful to have some coaches who are familiar with the way things worked in Foxboro. Also, sure he must have a positive evaluation of their teaching abilities.
(As the owner of a long Czech surname, gotta say that a nickname can really save a lot of misspellings).
Yep.
Schuplinski’s capacity for caring is not lost on his players.
“When I first stepped into the facility for rookie minicamp, he definitely took me under his wing and I think the process led right up until my last day there,” Brissett said. “I think what his role was and what he felt like he embraced was he was going to go through the learning curve with me. That was something I respected and I took to heart. I am sure he didn’t have to, but he went with me through my ups and downs and the learning process with the offense. I think that paid off a lot for me.”
Part of being a good coach is relating to players and Schuplinski is someone who the players have no problem talking to, even beyond the game of football. This is especially important for young players who are getting used to being in the NFL and are no longer in the college environment.
“Anything you had questions about, or if you were having a rough day even off the field that didn’t have to do with football he was there to talk about it and I really appreciated Jerry,” Garoppolo said. “I got to know his family and all his daughters and everything. They are just good people. We connected pretty immediately when we first met each other. It was something that did us well down the road.”
“He was a great mentor for me,” Brissett added. “That was on and off the field. He was someone I always leaned on and just talked about anything. We would talk about life, family — things away from football that made our relationship so special.”
Fits the "teachers" who are "good people first" requirement that Judge talked about.

Instead of wondering why Flores is letting some of his staff go to other jobs, maybe we should be wondering why they want to leave Flores and Miami. Maybe Flores is all that?

The more I read about Mike Groh, the more it sounds like he would be part of this team. Not because they were in the same place for a year or because is father was a BB guy. He sounds like the kind of coach Judge is looking for either for OC or a position coach

Well, how much coaching does one do for a seasoned vet like Brady?
But he was supposed to coach up Rosen, was he not? What happened to Rosen? He played a few games, stunk, and then they put him on the bench for good. I’m still,perplexed as to why they didn’t even want to get a good look at him before this years draft.

Well, he was assistant qbs coach there 2016-2018 so I know JoeyG was there in 2016. Not sure who the backup was in 2017-18. It’s hard to evaluate backups who never play or who are not playing for some other team.
But what about ROSEN? What happened there? I’d be interested in knowing why he was benched never to be scene again. No player Left Behind didn’t apply to Rosen, or so it seems.

He did a great job with both Brissett and Garoppolo. Read link for more on that.
What's the fixation with Rosen? He looked terrible and has now flamed out in two different places. Maybe it's not the coaching that's the issue...

Based on the article posted, they were very high him.

He's allowed to leave if it's a promotion.

All assistant coaches (coordinators and position coaches) are considered "equal" by the NFL.
Technically, going from a position coach to coordinator is NOT a promotion, and assistant position to position coach isnt either. They're lateral moves.
A template that could work at other spots?

Maybe Rosen was NOT "left behind". Maybe he's just not good enough, at least not at this point.
Drafted in the top 10 (4th QB taken), traded after just 1 season, and rode the bench for most of the season in a "throw away" season.

Could also mean we are looking at Jim Caldwell and raiding Miami again for another coach.
