BREAKING: Giants Hiring Patriots ST Coach Joe Judge As Next Head Coach

So much for Jason Garrett being the next head coach in New York.

On Tuesday, the franchise decided on hiring Patriots ST coach Joe Judge as their next head coach.

New York Giants are finalizing a deal to make Patriots’ wide receivers coach Joe Judge their next head coach, league sources tell ESPN. Deal was in the works as of last night, which is another reason Matt Rhule took the Panthers’ HC job.

Ian Rapoport would report that Matt Rhule actually called the Giants to see if they would match the deal he was going to get from the Panthers. They declined, so he signed to Carolina.

One note on the #Giants: Matt Rhule called them before signing his 6-year deal with the #Panthers and gave them the opportunity to match and lure him to get on the plane. They declined and hired Joe Judge instead.

The 37-year-old Judge began his coaching career at Mississippi State back in 2005 as a graduate assistant, spending 3 years in that role before being hired by Birmingham-Southern as their linebackers coach for the 2008 season.
