The past few seasons for the New York Giants have been underwhelming, featuring Ben McAdoo and Pat Shurmur at the head coaching position. General manager Dave Gettleman has provided assistance in some areas but faltered in others, forcing the Giants to make even more changes to supplement weaknesses.
The theory behind hiring Joe Judge, formerly of New England, is that he brings a winning mentality and philosophy, derived from Bill Belichick and Nick Saban, two of the winningest coaches in football history (college and pro). His ability to evaluate talent and diversify their skills to serve multiple purposes is his specialty, similar to Belichick, who finds value in the most random of players.
