1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: The Giants continue to try to find their new head

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: coach for two thousand and twenty. He's Jeff Eagles. I

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: am John Schmalkin. They've interviewed Patriots special teams coordinator and

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers coach Joe Judge, just thirty seven years old. Jeff,

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: he has history going back to Nick Saban at Alabama.

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: Came to the Patriots as a special team's assistant, became

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: the coordinator in two thousand and fifteen and the two

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: thousand and nineteen for the first time, also took on

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: a wide receiver role. The Patriots have one of the

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: smaller assistant coaching staffs in the leagues. Of guys often

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: multitask up there. But you don't hear very often about

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: a special team's coach becoming a head coach. But we'll

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: get to that concept in a moment. But Joe Judge specifically,

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: you're in special team circles. You can take you kickers

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: all talk. What do you know about Joe Judge? Well,

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we all talk, but so do all

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: the other guys in the team because he works with

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: everybody on the team. That's the great thing about a

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: special teams coach really can get the pulse of your team, um,

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: all the big units and guys in the special teams meetings,

21
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: So he basically gets to work with everybody, which is

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: a positive. UM. And I think that you know, when

23
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: you look at a guy like John Harbaugh who was

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: a special teams coach for the Eagles and then went

25
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: right into the head coaching job UM with the Raven

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: So there is some precedence there and I think a

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: lot of people look at that as a positive. And

28
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: obviously Bill Belichick and Nick Saban two coaches that value

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: special teams a lot. And that's his background. Absolutely. Actually,

30
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: Scotty O'Brien was a longtime special teams coordinator up at

31
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots and he worked under him and when he left,

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: that's when he became the head special teams coach. Guy.

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: But third of the game, as we always talk about it, John,

34
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: it's the third of the game. But again, UM, he's

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: very a guy that knows the roster, knows how things work.

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: Being a receiver coach. Maybe the next step for him

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: being a head coach getting into offensive meetings and you

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: know that that group special teams those meetings, there's thirty

39
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: guys in there, the little position group for ride receivers

40
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: only five or six. A little bit different. And when

41
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: you take a look at a special teams coach, you

42
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: would think he would take the role as more of

43
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: a CEO position. His head coach wouldn't call plays on

44
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: offense or defense, at least he wouldn't think he would sure,

45
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: and he would then have to hire an offensive coordinat

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: or defensive coordinator, a good staff to handle the offensive

47
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: and defensive sides of the ball. Yeah, and I think

48
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: that you know you're gonna he's definitely would be able to.

49
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: He would have to go out and find some guys

50
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: to be able to handle those those types of positions.

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: But when you talk about a CEO position, John that

52
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: is the special teams coach because he handles every one

53
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: of those punt return team, a kickoff team, you know,

54
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: a field goal, field goal rush team. Um, so he

55
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: does a lot of different things in the organization from

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: team standpoint. So he has that kind of is in

57
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: his resume just thirty seven years old. Just thirty seven. Well, listen,

58
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: we've had remember John Gruten when he was thirty eight

59
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: year olds the thirty three or something. He was in

60
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: his thirties Um mcveigh's in his thirties, so I don't

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: think it's all that bad to have a guy. Um,

62
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: he's obviously a very smart man. You go to his

63
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: Wikipedia's pages, he's he's a very smart dude, So I

64
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: think that he could handle it. Well, it was on Wikipedia.

65
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: It's gotta be true, of course it is. Yeah, I

66
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: mean all the stuff on wikipedas is true about you. Right, Well,

67
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: let's not go there. You have good stuff. We appreciate

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: the time. That's Joe Judd. The Giants continue their search
