The Giants dropped from 18th to 31st in scoring offense last season, and Daniel Jones did not make considerable strides. But the team is not planning to make big changes to its offense.
Jason Garrett is expected to stay on as New York’s offensive coordinator, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com notes. Some potential turnover at this position coach level could take place, and Raanan adds assistants like tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens, QBs coach Jerry Schulplinski and wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert may take on increased responsibility. (Tolbert has interviewed for Minnesota’s OC job.) But Garrett will still run the show.
This is not especially surprising. Dave Gettleman said last month, as Garrett interviewed for the Chargers’ HC job, he was “antsy” about the prospect of losing his OC. Keeping Garrett will ensure Jones only has two play-callers in his first three seasons, though the Giants have plenty of improvements to make on offense. Saquon Barkley‘s expected re-emergence will certainly help.
Joe Judge already fired a coach Garrett brought in, ex-Cowboys O-line assistant Marc Colombo, and Raanan adds the new Giants HC’s hands-on approach with the team’s offense caused tension between he and Garrett. Last season was Garrett’s first as a full-time play-caller since 2012.
One of the changes on Big Blue’s staff will be replacing Dave DeGuglielmo. The veteran O-line coach is not expected back, and Raanan notes that the Giants have interviewed ex-Texans O-line coach Mike Devlin and Giants assistant O-line coach Ben Wilkerson for the job.
Yay…! The Giants keep The Clapper! Great news for the other NFC East teams.
Yay for Jerry’s Kid!
Thank goodness he is not going to ruin another franchise
How are the Cowboys doing now that they have Mike McCarthy?
We need to bring in talent…..Playmakers
The line looked better. Was a really low bar but there’s finally some talent & depth there. Been a long time.
Barkley’s the big thing though. He can certainly make plays. We’re an entirely different offense with him.
He kept Dallas out of the playoffs……
Again
This was pretty good
Meow … any more catty comments?
When Dallas had the players — incl a high quality OL — their O was one of the NFL’s best.
Interesting name of site “Football Rumors” … I believe the only tension was between Judge and Colombo
Judge and Garrett had tension? Was that not the reason for Colombo’s dismissal?
No. Temper tandem from juice
