Joe Judge is retaining another member of Pat Shurmur’s staff: Ben Wilkerson, who was the assistant OL coach for the past two years, will return, per source. Wilkerson joins Thomas McGaughey, Tyke Tolbert, Anthony Blevins and Tom Quinn as holdovers from Shurmur’s staff.
Wilkerson was a Center at LSU and in the NFL.
Could he get the opportunity to coach another LSU Center (Lloyd Cushenberry) in his future?? Most scouts felt that Cushenberry was the most impressive O lineman at this weeks Senior Bowl practices.
He was in charge of making sure Solder yelled “lookout!” when he gave up the outside rush.
well i know its hard to understand for alot of fans who think they know so much better but the Giants current HC interviewed him and saw an advantage to keep him on the staff.
that's good enough for me

Wilkerson actually done the last two years?

😂
He is an assistant.He could only implement what Hunter told him to do. Now,he'll have a competent OL coach being under Colombo!
When thinking of the youngings, such as Nick Gates, I think they showed progress and signs of being well coached...
I wonder who coached the first/second year players? From what I am reading about a lot of our hires, it seems to be the job of the assistant to focus in on the rookies and young players.... Perhaps that was the case here, and it was determined that he did a relatively good job?
It's not like they aren't cleaning house.
Anyway, I am happy to have Colombo and I look forward to seeing the line perform under a legitimate OL coach. IMO Hal Hunter was Shurmur’s biggest mistake. He should have kept Mike Solari or added a better option like Munchak or Bill Callahan with the assistant HC title.
There'd be like two threads on here without that.

lol
Still with the negative waves Moriarty.
Not sure who you are asking. If you are addressing me, I'd also add Chad Slade to the list along with Nick Gates.
