During the New York Giants’ bye week this past season, the team suddenly fired offensive line coach Marc Colombo. While there were conflicting reports of what led to Colombo’s dismissal, players were shocked to hear the news.
In a corresponding move, the Giants brought in Dave DeGuglielmo as Colombo’s replacement.
With the Giants’ offseason underway, it appears they will be in search of a new offensive line coach as the hiring of DeGulielmo was only on an interim basis, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post.
#Giants are in the market for a new offensive line coach, per multiple sources. Dave DeGuglielmo's in-season arrival was on an interim basis and his contract expired at season's end. They are casting a wide net on replacements.

The Giants have an extremely young offensive line as they spent a ton of draft capital addressing the unit during the 2020 NFL draft.
The entire offensive line improved as the season went along but it was tough to tell if the change at offensive line coach was the reason why.
As Big Blue searches for a new coach to run the offensive line, they will hope the unit continues to improve next year and beyond.
