he eventually ends up on the New England staff. "You know we'd have conversations within our office of who are the bright young coaches around the league and name came up a couple times," Giants co-owner John Mara said. He worked as a football analyst/special teams assistant for Saban from 2009 through 2011 before joining Belichick and the Patriots for the past eight seasons. There is little doubt Judge's connection to Belichick and University of Alabama coach Nick Saban opened eyes.
It was as if Judge appeared in this coaching search out of the blue, even if the Giants say his name was discussed when they hired Pat Shurmur two years earlier. "Now, there is a question out there that I'm sure a lot of people are asking, and that's number one - who am I?" he said, before explaining the principles that guide his everyday decisions and the football philosophy that blew the Giants away. Judge addressed his relative anonymity at his introductory news conference on Jan. It was a surprise hire to fans, players, ownership and even the confident coach. He was on the verge of taking the Mississippi State head coaching job before his interview with the Giants. In the 48 hours following that rare extended camera time, his life was turned upside down. Turns out that nameless face was Joe Judge, now the coach of the New York Giants. He was the Patriots special teams coordinator, who also doubled this season as wide receivers coach. There was coach Bill Belichick and one of his assistants chirping in the official's ear.Īt the time, less than two weeks ago, that assistant was a nameless Belichick underling. The camera panned to the New England Patriots sideline late in their wild-card loss to the Tennessee Titans on Jan.
