BBV’s Valentine: 10 thoughts about Judge’s coaching staff

Big Blue '56 : 2/6/2020 8:22 am
Here are some of them. Click on lonk for the others.

This is no patchwork quilt of coaches. Each of these hires appears to have been well-thought out and well-researched. “Guys who I have not worked with directly, I’ve competed against, I’ve known for some time. I’ve more than done my research on everybody on this staff, including the guys I’ve worked with. No stone has been unturned,” Judge said. Good.


If he was willing to be a position coach, it seems a pretty safe bet that Judge was always going to find a way to have ex-Cleveland Browns coach Freddie Kitchens on staff. Judge pointed out that he has worked with, played for and coached against Kitchens. “I think any position on offense is good for Freddie,” Judge said. “He’s got a lot of experience at different positions. He’s been head coach, he’s been a coordinator, he’s been a position coach. He sees it through a lot of different perspectives,” Judge said. “What I love about Freddie is he brings an element of toughness and discipline to his room. He brings outside the box thinking a lot of times to how he approaches the game from a game plan perspective.”


Part of Judge’s reasoning for naming Marc Colombo offensive line coach was that “Continuity is very important, especially between the offensive coordinator and the offensive line coach, that they can be on the same page starting out.” Love that. The offensive line coach has to be able to teach what the coordinator wants, and we already know Colombo can do that.


When Judge was talking about retaining wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert from Pat Shurmur’s staff he talked about going to the tape and watching the players from Tolbert’s position group. Love that attention to detail. Maybe it’s standard operating procedure, but I don’t remember Tom Coughlin, Ben McAdoo or Shurmur ever talking about having done that when hiring assistants.


I’m really looking forward to watching defensive line coach Sean Spencer, known at Penn State as “Coach Chaos,” in action during practices.


If quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski is anywhere near as good as Judge, who calls him an “incredible teacher,” says he is then Daniel Jones is in good hands.

Maybe I am drinking the Kool-aid

but I really am psyched about these coaches and what they will bring to the players in terms of teaching, development and commitment.

I also like what they could bring to the shaping of the game-plan.

I look forward to the Sights & Sounds this upcoming season and the interaction between the coaches and players on the sidelines in the thick of battle.
Love this. The Giants have been lacking personality for years

What sticks out to me is that between O and D

there are 5 coaches who are not tied to a specific position.

Between Dooley, Brown, Blick, Wright and Treier that's 10 eye balls on different day to day things with the team other than focusing solely on a position group.

I'd be very curious to see job descriptions for all of those guys but I'm sure it's varied between scouting, analytical stuff, special projects, maybe even in-game strategy like clock/situational stuff.

Pretty exciting though.

It would APPEAR that these type of job interactions are rather new for us, but in truth, how would I know? Regardless, I agree, exciting indeed.
I don't know what to expect...

from this Judge hire or many of his hires.

I'm very pleased with one move - the hiring of Garrett. Very much hoping that his experience and intellect keep Judge from running off the road in this maiden voyage as a HC...
It's very different this year

I can't ever recall so much attention being given to the hiring of the coaches aside from the head coach and his coordinators. Judge seems to be approaching the picking of his subordinate coaches as he would the drafting of players.

Just like players drafted need to fit a certain criteria and a culture, Judge has decided it is equally as important to draft coaches that fit his concepts of what it takes to be a good coach. Those top two priorities are someone who cares about his players and desires to have a relationship with those players and someone who is an excellent teacher of techniques.

I just can't ever recall this much attention to detail in the hiring of staff. It has me excited because I would like to believe that this is the right way to do things and that this is in fact the best way to develop the talent we draft.

It is my hope that a few years down the road, we can look back at these drafts and see that a higher percentage of our draft picks worked out not just because of who we drafted, but as well as the coaches we "drafted" or hired.
Interesting point in this article.

“The Garrett connection is strong. Colombo, Dooley, defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson and offensive assistant Stephen Brown all worked under Garrett with the Dallas Cowboys.”

Ok, so the glass theory look at Garret’s taking time to get signed:

Glass half empty first because, you know: Garret is already building his staff.

Glass half full: Garret wants his offense humming by late-October to Thanksgiving, and he was offered the resources to do it.

🤓
If Garrett’s offense is successful, Garrett is probably one and done.

The same coaches probably leave with him but Judge appears to have given thought to a succession plan.

Agreed
Although, not so sure

there would be a line waiting to hire JG S a HC anytime soon
Im sure both sides recognize that RG is not the long term answer

He will help lay a foundation as Judge grooms his guy into the spot.

Yeah, I have become pessimistic. Win some games and then I will praise these guys
