It’s been six months since Joe Judge was hired. He still hasn’t addressed all of the Giants players in person, still hasn’t run a practice on the fields his until recently vacant office windows overlook, still hasn’t blown a whistle. Those are the routine activities normally associated with his job, and they’ve all been sequestered from him so far.
Does he even feel like he is a head coach in the NFL without checking those tasks off his to-do list?
“Well, yeah,” he told Newsday. Then he laughed.
Because of course he is a head coach, and he’s already crammed what for many might be a career’s worth of crisis management into his half-year tenure at the helm.
