It’s possible Judge contacted Georgia about  
Simms11 : 11/18/2020 8:24 pm : link
the technique that AT was using and maybe it was a conflict with technique that Colombo wanted him to use?! Who knows. I do know that Colombo apparently wasn’t doing what Judge thought was necessary, hence the call to DeGuglielmo to come in as a consultant. It’s all speculation, but you have to think it was for a reason. Colombo brought this on himself. It’s possible that Garrett would still bring him in as Oline Coach, if Garrett got another HC gig though. It would be funny if Colombo ended back with the Cowboys.
This is great news on all fronts

1. Out with the bad (MC)
2. Frees up Judge to do other things rather than just work with the OL
3. Bring in a guy who has a proven track record of coaching up the HogMollies
4. Happens at a decent time....the bye, so at least they will have a full week to get to know the new boss

Assuming this is true, how do we unpack this?

Does this confirm that Judge let Garrett make the call on Colombo? And know Judge is pulling rank and making the move for "his guy"...?
Well...

..the Giants o-line coaches must really like dry Capocollo, Genoa Salami, provolone and pepperoni sangwiches . Now just bring back Spagnuolo and they can open a restaurant.

I'm thinking that bringing on DD as an assistant was the first move in replacing Colombo. He gets all the players used to him, learns the players and schemes, reports all going on to Judge, then Judge lets Colombo go at the end of the season. Colombo saw it coming and blew up.

If Fangio is fired at the end of the season that would free up Mike Munchak. Munchak is also arguably the best OL coach in football. If he becomes available there will be several teams after him but the Giants would be a very attractive option for him with all he young talent they’ve acquired.

Munchak is a perfect fit for the Giants style of play and would take this group to a new level.

The OL is starting to play well, rookies are rounding out, etc. Then you read about Judge stepping in and assisting in coaching, and Thomas reverting back to his college technique and it answers a lot.

So WTF changed to good for Judge. I still don't know how to feel about this team right now, but the last few weeks are the first time in a few years I have felt good about the future of this team. Even after McAdoo's fist year, I didn't feel confident in the team. Right now, I do. Judge is in full control and holding everyone accountable. It's great.

As for Thomas, I remember a few weeks back his college coach was quoted about him not doing what they taught him and what made him a first round pick. So, what I haven't seen here (maybe I missed it) is what made him go back to his Georgia technique? Was it on his own? Did that interview with the Georgia coach make an impact? Is that Judge's doing also?



All this crap came from Paul Alexander who has a major ax to grind with Columbo. Who knew offensive line coaches were all a bunch of Mary’s?

This all comes to the fact Judge had to work with the offensive line, wanted to bring in an assistant, Columbo took it like the asshole he apparently is, and Judge fired him because their relationship was over. All this stuff about his “Georgia technique” is a bunch of unsubstantiated fluff. That Bobby Skinner guy has broken this down.
How is unsubstantiated? The coach at Georgia is the one who commented on the technique being different a few weeks ago and him using the Ga. technique now. He's not a reliable source?

Cutting through the BS and the noise  
D HOS : 11/18/2020 11:51 pm : link
Here is what I think we have learned.

Columbo is liked by his players, is probably a decent OL coach (past resume) but our young roster needed more help, evidenced by Judge stepping to help out and that having a positive effect. Possibly Judge wasn't in full agreement with the coaching style, techniques being taught.

We assume that the help that was needed wasn't something that could come from assistant position coaches, they already have those - it needed another top level guy.

So Judge efficiently went back to DeGuglielmo, his still unemployed 2nd choice OL coach candidate and asked him to come in and help out. It seems pretty clear this was not discussed with Columbo before, which is maybe a little bit disrespectful but also could indicate that Judge, knowing Columbo, foresaw that such a conversation would not be productive and had already made up his mind about bringing in DeGuglielmo.

So then Judge tells Columbo about it and he flips his shit & calls Judge some nasty words. Even though this is apparently is in character for Columbo, Judge don't play that, so Judge fires him. The new guy is the now interim OL position coach.

I have no questions about this.

Though I am slightly curious if Judge could have weathered the outrage from Columbo and talked him around. I assume there was more to it than that (wrong techniques, not on the same page...) so that wasn't really an option once it got to the name-calling. I don't really care that much about this point. It's Judge's business and he handled it.

Yeah, I think you are correct. For whatever reason, Judge was not overall happy with Colombo. Wanted to bring DD in and then after the season let MC go and elevate DD to OL coach from assistant. Colombo read the writing on the all.

The Giants have an assistant OL coach already, so bringing DD seems superfluous. But if true that Judge needed to take a hands on approach with the line, then he was right to bring in DD. Doing this on the bye week also allows this to happen with most of the team away and out of earshot.

What I've heard..

1st. Judge and Colombo got into a shouting match - in each other's faces which led to Colombo shoving Judge. He was irate but there was no fistfight.

2nd. Apparently, this has been brewing for a while. There's been tension between the two since the start of the season. Colombo found out about DeGuglielmo from another coach/person in the building. Colombo confronted Judge. There was no set meeting where Judge informed Colombo.

GiantsRage2007 : 11/19/2020 7:22 am : link
Has been shit all year. Just because the last 2 weeks they have been slightly better... slightly better than shit is still shit.

The run blocking has gotten better, but the pass protection is horrid.

You see the stats from last week, that when well protected, Jones was 18-18 in passing.

No brainer that the OL needs to perform better. Especially pass protection.

Judge is beholden to noone... he wants it fixed.

I say GOOD!

I think you summed it up very well ... I’ll add again that the Giants have (4) rookies on the active roster, plus a 2nd year guy (Barton) who we know very little about, and (2) 3rd year guys (Gates and Will) who still have a way to grow. It was great idea to bring in another set of experienced hands to help and Colombo should have accepted it as an opportunity to learn more himself. Along with Zeitler, there is more talent on this OL than I’ve seen in forever.

This is what I have been thinking. Usually things like this are not a one time thing. I would bet there were issues going on for a while behind the scenes. If it was a one time confrontation it likely could have been worked out. This just sounds to me like the "straw that broke the camels back" type of thing.

If this is the case, then a change may be a good thing. No employee or organization likes to be surrounded by conflict

Enough.

Technique, scheme, I don’t know. Colombo might have been stuck on what worked for Zeke Elliot, expecting it to work with Barkley, but now had to make it work with Gallman, Freeman, and Morris.

DeG may not have a great personality but has the experience in technique and scheme to be successful. He gets a tryout to see if he fits where Colombo obviously didn’t.

True, although if I found out that my boss had hired a consultant behind my back that specializes precisely in my discipline of expertise, I wouldn't consider that a particularly good boss, either.

People bring in consultants all the time. There's any number of reasons why a boss might think that an extra set of eyes and ears could be of value, especially if there's a significant difference in experience level. But not making the employee aware of it is bad management, no matter how good of a job Judge is doing so far.

What you say is true in the corporate world ... but let’s not confuse that with the NFL which has more of a military like hierarchy. All coaches are to varying degree, control freaks and they are under no obligation to gain ‘buy in’ from their assistants or anyone else unless they see it necessary. Sure JJ could have done it differently if he wanted to, but don’t call it bad mgmt, especially without knowing any of the backstory details. His job is to put a winner on the field and go about it anyway he chooses.
I guess Colombo was really threatened

Apparently when he was playing for the Dolphins and Degugliemo was his coach, he told him he learned more from him than any other coach in his career.

And that was right after Colombo’s last game as an NFL player

What I've heard..

1st. Judge and Colombo got into a shouting match - in each other's faces which led to Colombo shoving Judge. He was irate but there was no fistfight.

2nd. Apparently, this has been brewing for a while. There's been tension between the two since the start of the season. Colombo found out about DeGuglielmo from another coach/person in the building. Colombo confronted Judge. There was no set meeting where Judge informed Colombo.



Jesus, if that's true Colombo must be a real hothead. That's next level prick to do that to your boss.


True, although if I found out that my boss had hired a consultant behind my back that specializes precisely in my discipline of expertise, I wouldn't consider that a particularly good boss, either.

People bring in consultants all the time. There's any number of reasons why a boss might think that an extra set of eyes and ears could be of value, especially if there's a significant difference in experience level. But not making the employee aware of it is bad management, no matter how good of a job Judge is doing so far.

Staffs change all the time though, and you want a position on your staff to be attractive to potential coaching talent. These assistants aren't grunts that have to be there.
I agree with the notion Judge should have talked to Colombo

before he found out through the rumor mill. Nothing wrong with making the move, but that’s a little inexperience on Judge’s part.
All Conjecture

No of us really know how this went down. The consensus is the Line performed better the past few weeks and it's because of Judge's direct involvement. If Colombo wasnt doing his job, it was time to move on.

If the optics are bad, Judge will learn and handle things differently in the future.

Maybe he didnt have the opportunity because someone got ahead of him. Perhaps, this was the convo to inform Colombo he was bringing in Gugs to help? Again, conjecture.

Who's the rat?
