The have hired former special teams coordinator and wide receiver coach Joe Judge to become their next head coach. For those outside of New England, you may be scratching your head and saying, "who?" Well, we're here to shine some light on your latest head coach and what he brings to the table.The Philly native has been with the organization since 2012 and has risen through the ranks of Bill Belichick's staff ever since. On top of that experience with the Patriots, Judge has an impre sive rsum that includes a lot of winning. Certainly, the Giants are hoping he can bring some of that winning formula into the building. Below you'll some quick-hit nuggets to get your caught Matt Holliday Jersey up on the newest leading man in New York. Played at Mi si sippi StateJudge played his college ball at Mi si sippi State from 2000-04 and earned three letters. He came to campus as a quarterback, but mostly played on special teams. It was also at Mi si sippi State where he began his coaching career, signing on as a graduate a sistant in 2005 and staying aboard until 2007. From there he became the linebacker's coach at Birmingham-Southern.No head coaching experienceThe Giants are certainly going outside the box with Judge, simply due to the fact that he has zero head coaching experience on his Wade Boggs Jersey rsum. That's not totally uncommon for Patriots a sistants as Matt Patricia ( ) and Brian Flores (Miami) didn't have any head coaching experience before taking their jobs in the either. Unlike those two, who came up on the defensive side of the ball, Judge primarily has a special teams background.Comes from the Saban-Belichick treeWhile he may not have head coaching experience, Judge has quite the rsum at just 38 years old. Not only is he coming to New York after being groomed by Bill Belichick for the past eight years in New England, but Judge also spent three years with Nick Saban at Alabama as his special teams a sistant. Combined: Judge was a part of five championships (three Super Bowls, two National Championships). Given his profe sional upbringing, don't be surprised if Judge follows a very similar coaching style to both his mentors. Judge also played under Jackie Sherrill at Mi si sippi State and also worked alongside Sylvester Croom at Mi si sippi State, too. Almost Mickey Mantle Jersey left Patriots with Josh McDanielsJudge reportedly almost left the Patriots back in 2018 to join Josh McDaniels' staff in Indianapolis. He was set to serve as his special teams coordinator, but after things fell through and McDaniels returned to New England, so did Judge. Since then, Judge has been a name that has been talked about as a potential head coach somewhere in football. Prior to talking this job with the Giants, Judge was looked at as a favorite to land with his alma mater in Mi si sippi State as its next head coach. This jump was clearly coming, but it is a tad surprising it's coming so soon.Ran an elite special teams unit with the PatriotsOne of the calling cards of the Patriots is their strong special teams unit. That was on full display under Joe Judge this season where New England ranked No. 1 in average starting field position (32.7) and No. 1 in opponent starting field position (25.1). The Patriots were able to attack the ball extremely well on punts, blocking two that were returned for touchdowns (a league high). New England also never allowed a punt to be returned for 20 or more Jacoby Ellsbury Jersey yards this season under Judge.Judge is also the first special teams coordinator to be hired as a head coach since John Harbaugh in 2008 with the Baltimore Ravens. Added receivers coach to his resume this yearJudge has been making the climb through the coaching ranks and just started to crack through on the offensive side of the ball this season with the Patriots after being promoted to receivers coach with Chad O'Shea departing for Miami. Judge manned both the special teams and receivers in what was his final year in Foxborough and, while that's hardly the equivalent of managing Austin Romine Jersey an entire football operation, he did show that he can juggle multiple responsibilities."Joe's done a great job," Bill Belichick said last Tuesday prior to New England playoff lo s to Tenne see. "He's done a great job with the kicking game, and as you said, he's expanded the role a little bit and that's kind of had a little bit of a ripple effect in the way we've organized the kicking game, but that's all worked out pretty efficiently. Joe's done a good job of organizing that, as well as taking care on some other things with the offense and particularly receivers. So, he's done a good job. He's an excellent coach."
