Giants Coaching Poaching Continues

The NFL coaching shuffle usually occurs immediately after the regular season. That’s when teams that fail to make the playoffs try be better themselves and beat their competitors, try to quickly hire and fire coaches. Perhaps a better strategy is to wait to for the outcome of the Super Bowl and then poach the winning coaches.

That’s exactly what happened to the Super Bowl Giants. For the second time this week, Tom Couglin’s New York Giants has had an offensive coach poached from their ranks.

Jack Bicknell, assistant offensive coordinator of the Giants for the last three years, has left the Super Bowl champions and joined the Kansas City Chiefs. Bicknell will become the offensive line coach under Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel.

“A lot of the jobs had been filled up by the time we were done”, said Jack Bicknell Jr. He thought he would return to the Giants for his third year before receiving the offer from Kansas City.

Now the Giants need to find a QB coach AND an assistant offensive coordinator. That’s what happens with success; everyone what’s to catch that “magic”.

Earlier in the week, Giants QB coach Mike Sullivan took a promotion as offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Will this be the end of the Giants coaching poaching? We’ll have to wait and see!
