Judge says change in 'O' line coach won't effect play

Related Topics: Dave DeGuglielmo, Joe Judge, Colombo

In a perfect Joe Judge world there would not have been any headlines about the tweak he planned to make to the coaching staff. Perhaps at the bottom of an article about some other subject there would have been a note preceded by three dots and, more importantly, finished off with one:

… The Giants hired Dave DeGuglielmo as an offensive consultant.

One sentence. End of story.

Former Giants offensive line coach Marc Colombo, though, made that an impossibility. According to reports by Newsday and others, he went ballistic over the idea of a rival offensive line coach looking over his shoulder, had enough of Judge meddling in his work, and was fired from his position on the staff last Wednesday after a verbal showdown with Judge the night before.
