Joe Judge (American football)

Joseph Francis Judge (born December 31, 1981) is an American college and professional football coach who is currently a senior analyst for the Ole Miss Rebels.

[2][3] Following the Patriots' victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, Judge was promoted to special teams coordinator following the retirement of Scott O'Brien.

[4][5] On February 5, 2017, Judge was part of the Patriots' coaching staff that won Super Bowl LI.

[8][9] After wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea left New England to become offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, Judge was tapped to fill O'Shea's role while continuing to serve as special teams coordinator;[10] according to ESPN, he was the only coach in the NFL with both special teams and wide receiver duties.

[16] In his first season as the head coach of the Giants, Judge led them to a 6–10 record, finishing second in the NFC East.

Judge recorded the most losses by a Giants head coach with 13 surpassing the mark of 12 by Jim Fassel in 2003.

[17] Judge's season suffered from questionable calls, such as a coach's challenge on a non-reviewable scoring play during Week 1 versus the Denver Broncos,[18] a controversial 11 minute post-game locker room rant after a loss to the Chicago Bears,[19] and a quarterback sneak on 3rd and 9 against their own goalline during a Week 18 matchup against the Washington Football Team.
