Report: Joe Judge to interview with Giants for head-coaching position

The New England Patriots coaching staff could like quite different next season.

Special Teams coordinator/wide receivers coach Joe Judge is set to interview for the New York Giants’ head-coaching position on Monday, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Judge and Josh McDaniels have been tossed around in head-coaching rumors and their absence would leave a void to fill in New England’s offense.

Judge has been with the Patriots since 2012 and has primarily worked with the special teams unit before the 2019 season. Bill Belichick spoke to reporters last week about Judge and applauded his ability to adapt.

“Joe has done a great job of organizing that as well as taking on some other things with the offense, in particular receivers, so he’s done a great job,” Belichick said, transcribed by nj.com. “He’s an excellent coach.”
