Joe Judge Speaks

guitarguybs12 : 1/13/2022 7:47 pm
Quote:
"As I reflect on my tenure with the Giants, I want to express how truly grateful I am for the opportunity to be the head coach of the New York Giants. Thank you to the Mara and Tisch families, to the organization and incredible support staff and to the fans -- proud, loyal fans who rival any fanbase in sports with their passion and devotion. It was a privilege to represent these people during the past two years. Thank you for showing up week-in and week-out to support our team.

"I also want to express my appreciation to the coaching staff. They put in long nights and early mornings to help the players be successful. Their work is often behind the scenes, but the dedication and love they invest into these players and team is the foundation for anything that happens on the field. I am proud to have worked with the group of men we had and grateful for each and every one of them.

"Finally, to the players -- both present and former -- thank you. To the alumni players who helped invest in our program, thank you for believing in and helping develop these young men. You set the Giants standard and you continue to lead the way.

"To the current Giants players, thank you most of all. When I became the head coach, I said that we would ask you to come in and give everything you had every day. And you did. I am so proud of you, grateful for you, and I believe in you.

"On behalf of me and my family, we leave New York with the utmost gratitude for the community, the organization, the people and the team. Thank you."

I wish him well going forward.
Kind of boilerplate, but the right boilerplate.

Good for him.
Very classy way to go out  
Bill in UT : 1/13/2022 7:50 pm : link
Best wishes to him. He really got caught up in a shitstorm and I'm sure he did his very best.
He’s

A good dude. Hope he has better success elsewhere.

whether it's college or pros. hope he does well.
Good

Job going out like that. Hated him as coach, but never wanna see a human lose their job.

yeah, but screw the robots? Is that what you're saying?
I really wanna say "right coach, wrong time".  
j_rud : 1/13/2022 7:53 pm : link
The developments of the past few weeks made it an untenable situation and he bears the responsibility for that, but I can't help but feel like another team down the road is going to benefit greatly from the lessons learned here.
Good statement, good dude, bad head coach  
shadow_spinner0 : 1/13/2022 7:53 pm : link


Farewell and good luck in New England/Houston/college. Joe Judge seems like a good dude. Just wasn't a good coach for the giants. Maybe with experience he can become better. The old gm didn't do him any favors.

I wish him well.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/13/2022 7:54 pm : link
I don't ever see him getting another NFL HC job, but I think he'd do well in college. In hindsight, it would have been better for both parties-him & us-if he took the Mississippi State job.
Wish him the best  
US1 Giants : 1/13/2022 7:55 pm : link
Don't think he was ready to be a HC ... especially in New York market. Hopefully he gets another chance.
We all wanted him to be successful.....but  
George from PA : 1/13/2022 7:55 pm : link
It didn't work out.
He inherited  
joeinpa : 1/13/2022 7:58 pm : link

Thank you and goodbye

What do folks make of the fact  
BigBlueNH : 1/13/2022 8:02 pm : link
that after 11 games this year, with the worst OL in football and one of the worst overall rosters, Judge had us at 4-7, with 3 very close losses, including at KC? IMO, it is an indication that he could be a decent NFL coach. IMO, without the injuries to Jones and many others, he'd be coming back

I agree that he is not likely to get another HC job, unless he gets a major college HC job down the road and kills it.
Classy move  
uconn18 : 1/13/2022 8:02 pm : link
He’s made a ton of money and will continue to.
He’s got a wonderful young family, I hope he can find another head coaching gig in the SEC.
And to Mr. Gettleman, f@$% you...  
Producer : 1/13/2022 8:02 pm : link
For saddling me with crappy players.
Hope the Kobayashi Maru scenario....

changes for the next guy.
Best of luck to JJ.
Classy  
Keaton028 : 1/13/2022 8:06 pm : link
I do hope he gets another crack at being a HC someday. He took his lumps, he’ll take some time to reflect, and I’m willing to bet he’s much more successful with his next opportunity. Year 2 was a dark hole, and we needed a complete rebuild, but Judge was screwed by Mara and Gettleman from the start. Good luck coach!
Good luck to him  
arniefez : 1/13/2022 8:10 pm : link
This is the first time I can remember a coach or manager getting fired and me feeling bad for him and feeling the team failed him more than the other way around. I support the change the Giants are making, I understand why they did it. It still stinks.

I agree. Firing him was the right move given the circumstances, but he totally got a raw deal here.
Well said..

A shame a bunch of Giant fans piled on this guy. He needed to go, but most fans didn’t seem to realize the pile of shit he walked into.
Never got  
Keaton028 : 1/13/2022 8:13 pm : link
to pick his own OC, his own QB, nor work with a GM he could trust. All things were going against him here. We had to move on because we can’t handcuff a new GM to Judge, but again, he totally got screwed here.
Good luck Coach  
Lines of Scrimmage : 1/13/2022 8:14 pm : link
The process didn’t work this time. Critique hard, acknowledge and press forward with adjustments.

Next time win the box along the lines first. Everything gets easier afterwards.
Sean.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/13/2022 8:16 pm : link
He walked into a fucked up situation no doubt. But he didn't do himself any favors the last month or so. If he had just STFU, he'd probably still be employed.

I hate seeing anyone fired in any line of business, but JJ had to go. And it isn't like he'll be hurting for $.
Wish him well.  
SirLoinOfBeef : 1/13/2022 8:18 pm : link
However, he just was not ready to be a NFL head coach IMO.

Try again in the college ranks somewhere. Learn from his mistakes. I believe his style would be better in college than pros right now.
I don’t think anyone  
Keaton028 : 1/13/2022 8:21 pm : link
can accurately assess whether he was ready to be a HC or whether he deserves another HC opportunity. He had a shit roster here and was constantly butting heads with assistant coaches foisted on him.
He got screwed  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 1/13/2022 8:25 pm : link
by the situation. Not to say he's perfect. But I can't imagine a worse situation to be in to start your head coaching career.

What Mississippi State job
I hope if he gets another chance  
David B. : 1/13/2022 8:28 pm : link
he's dealt a better hand than he got in NY, and does well. Not Belichick in New England well, but well.
I think he should have taken that Mississippi job  
JohnB : 1/13/2022 8:28 pm : link
He would have been better served by it and he could have learned outside of such a strong spotlight as the NY market.
He’s being paid 15m

What does it matter what he’s being paid? The guy is obviously passionate about the game, and may have gotten screwed in his one HC chance.
He did the right thing with that goodbye message  
Optimus-NY : 1/13/2022 8:31 pm : link
Wish him well. He made his share of mistakes that he'll hopefully learn from, but the situation he walked into wasn't ideal either. He's made a lot of money and has the right connections. He'll be fine.
Well said Coach  
mfsd : 1/13/2022 8:32 pm : link
He definitely looked bad down the stretch, but even if he did everything right, the right move was to clean house and go into GM interviews with a clean slate.

Last few weeks were embarrassing, but I wish him well

I think he coaches college, gets HC experieince. Then comes back into the NFL. Either way, he'll be fine.
I kinda liked the pizza and beer -  
Del Shofner : 1/13/2022 8:34 pm : link
regular dude. I did enjoy his videos analyzing plays in Giants games. He might make a very good color commentator.
Nice words by Judge...  
bw in dc : 1/13/2022 8:37 pm : link
I think it's always important to mention the coaching staff. This impacts a lot more lives than just the HC.

While I think Judge needed to go, he certainly wasn't surrounded by the best and the brightest.

He’s got 15m coming to him. He’s financially set. Let’s not act like he’s been wrongly sentenced to prison or that he’s got a terminal illness here. He was a contributor to his own downfall. His life isn’t over and he will be able to coach somewhere. He frankly never should have gotten this job. Both he and the Giants, especially John Mara should take lessons from it and move forward.
It's is better to be a good man

McAdoo got absolutely crucified his last season here. To be honest I’d say one could argue McAdoo got more of raw deal than Judge if one were to suggest there’s raw deals to be had.

Not his fault he was given responsibilities for which he was obviously unprepared. I don’t think he’s a particularly good coach either. He has a lot to learn. Hopefully he is smart enough to take some lessons from this experience and make himself better
Listen to what  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 1/13/2022 8:58 pm : link
Jordan Raanan says on his podcast. He says that he has never seen someone so misunderstood by the fan base. Says that he is a great guy and superintelligent. I suspect he will learn from this and he will rebuild.

That was a good listen today. After that week two loss to WFT, I just knew it was 2003 all over again. I won’t be shocked to see Joe Judge come back with another team - and beat the Giants - sometime down the road. But the rant after the Chicago loss sealed his fate.
Thank you Coach Judge

You are a class act and I will be rooting for you. A change was needed but sorry you got stuck with Gettleman’s garbage roster.

Best of Luck
