REPORT – TOM QUINN TO REMAIN SPECIAL TEAMS COORDINATOR…
The New York Post and Newsday are reporting that Tom Quinn will likely return as the special teams coordinator of the New York Giants. Quinn has held the position since 2007. However, there has been no official word from the Giants yet on the official make-up of the assistant coaching staff.
Wide Receivers Coach Sean Ryan and Assistant Special Teams Coach Larry Izzo did leave the Giants to join the coaching staff of the Houston Texans. And Linebackers Coach Jim Herrmann has been hired by the Indianapolis Colts. In addition, there are unconfirmed media reports that Offensive Line Coach Pat Flaherty, Defensive Line Coach Robert Nunn, and Strength and Conditioning Coach Jerry Palmieri will not be retained in their current positions. Nunn interviewed with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday.
Other unconfirmed media reports/speculation exist that Steve Spagnuolo will be retained as defensive coordinator while Quarterbacks Coach Mike Sullivan will be promoted to offensive coordinator. The New York Post and Newsday are reporting that Running Backs Coach Craig Johnson, Tight Ends Coach Kevin M. Gilbride, Cornerbacks Coach Tim Walton, and Safeties Coach David Merritt are expected to be retained.
Adam Henry has supposedly been hired as the new wide receivers coach and Frank Cignetti, Jr. as the new quarterbacks coach. But neither hiring has been officially announced.
