Thomas McGaughey wants to be a head coach in the NFL. He’s not hesitant to overtly say so, either.

"That’s always been my goal," he said.

Sunday’s game against the Ravens may provide him with more hope that his aspirations can become a reality than any game in which he has ever taken part. That’s because it will feature two head coaches – Joe Judge of the Giants and John Harbaugh of the Ravens – who made the rare jump he would like to soon execute, from special teams coordinator to head coach.
