Freddie Kitchens was one-and-done as the Browns’ head coach, but he could land on his feet in New Jersey. New Giants head coach Joe Judge is expected to speak with Kitchens about a spot on his offensive staff, a source tells ESPN.com’s Jordan Raanan (on Twitter).

Kitchens and Judge worked together at Mississippi State, so the two coaches have history together. Kitchens’ stock has obviously cooled over the last year, but he was largely credited for the Browns’ progress on offense in 2018 and the development of quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Judge could view Kitchens as a quality mentor for his own young QB, Daniel Jones. It’s not clear whether Kitchens would be considered for the offensive coordinator role, however, or a different job on that side of the ball.
Kitchens ascended from associate head coach/running backs coach to the Browns’ OC job midway through the 2018 season. Last year, the Browns went 6-10 with Kitchens as their head coach.
I hope Freddie “Soup” Kitchens stays away from my fav franchise. The Giants could have him work in the cafeteria during training camp. Other than that, no interest.
Great. Put this hick in the #1 media market….stupid. Development of Baker…that grades out as F!
He should wear his Miles Garrett t shirt with him
How does this goof get another chance so quick? Giants should consider Caldwell.
Agreed
I don’t understand what the Giants are doing. The owner said this Gm need to fit his batting average up and start nailing hires and trades and signings and to me he is all over there place. Hiring a ST coach as a HC, while it might work, is very very risky and then Kitchens as HC who couldn’t do anything with OBJ, Landry, Baker and Chubb on the offensive side of the ball, to me that is wild to even think he would consider him lol. I’m just in shock I guess. Maybe Judge works out but it just seems risky like I said. I’m not a Giants fan but I’m a huge fan of football and I think they should go hard after Garrett as OC it anything or they should’ve went after a better candidate for the HC position. Curious, what do you Giants fans think and how do you feel about the hiring and the rumor of Kitchens as OC?
Dumpster fire. Gettleman shoulda been fired.
Freddie got a raw deal and I won’t jump on the bandwagon and trash him…since he did generate more offense than Matt Nagy.
Roll Tide Freddie….Roll Tide!
