It’s always good when people at the pinnacle of the business say something good about you. That’s what’s been happening to New York Giants incoming head coach Joe Judge.
Judge, a relatively obscure assistant on Bill Belichick’s staff in New England, has been getting rave reviews from coaches and players league-wide since being hired by the Giants to be their next head coach last month.
The latest coach to espouse the hiring of Judge is Kansas City Chiefs defensive line coach Brendan Daly, who worked alongside Judge in Foxborough for several seasons and just picked up another Super Bowl ring last Sunday.
“He has a great presence about him,” Daly told NJ Advance Media last week. “He has great leadership qualities. I think he’s a tremendous teacher of technique and fundamentals.
“I’m really excited for him to have the opportunity there. I think he’ll do well.”
And that is what drew the Giants to Judge. The last two coaching staffs did not do enough to push the long players along through teaching and the development has been slow.
Judge has stressed that not only will he be teaching as well as coaching but he has brought in a staff of like-minded men to do the same.
