Giants Request Interview With Patriots ST Coordinator Joe Judge

According to Adam Schefter, the Giants have requested an interview with Patriots ST coordinator Joe Judge. 

Special teams coaches don’t usually attract head coaching interest, but Judge has held a number of roles on New England’s staff during his tenure. Ravens HC John Harbaugh is also a notable success story after previously being a special teams coordinator. 

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

From there, Judge was hired as Alabama’s special teams assistant before taking the same position on the Patriots’ staff three years later. Judge worked his way up to special teams coordinator in 2015 and has been in the position since. 

Judge’s special teams unit in New England ranked 11th in 2019 per Football Outsiders.
