The New Jersey, sorry, New York Giants made a run at new, yet to be announced, running back coach Deland McCullough this weekend. Like most attempts at anything football-related over the last decade by that franchise, their attempt was unsuccessful. According to Irish Illustrated, McCullough rejected the Giants offer and will stick with Notre Dame.
Landing Deland McCullough last week was a big win for Marcus Freeman and Tommy Rees. McCullough is one of the best running backs coaches in the country and, much like Lance Taylor a few years ago, seen as a future OC and potential head coach down the road.
