Shurmur’s staff went far & wide

But the Giants defense relied on too much slow-to-develop youth and not enough talent during the Bettcher era, finishing the last two seasons ranked No. 24 and No. 25 in yards allowed and No. 23 and No. 30 in points allowed. Bettcher should be a more attractive coordinator candidate in 2021, when his résumé can be judged on the whole rather than the latest.

Here is a look at where other departing members of the 2019 Giants’ coaching staff resurfaced:

Head coach Pat Shurmur: Offensive coordinator for Broncos, after five teams inquired about hiring him for his fourth career OC job.

Offensive coordinator Mike Shula: Quarterbacks coach for Broncos. He and Shurmur had never worked together before the Giants, but they hit it off and Shurmur brought him along.

Tight ends coach Lunda Wells: Tight ends coach for Cowboys. He had been the longest-tenured Giants assistant coach, starting in 2012.

Running backs coach Craig Johnson: Offensive analyst at the University of Maryland, where he coached from 1997-99.

Offensive line coach Hal Hunter: Not coaching in 2020.

Offensive assistant Ryan Roeder: Offensive analyst at Penn State University, after a seven-year stint mostly working with Giants quarterbacks.

Defensive backs coach Everett Withers: Offensive analyst at the University of Texas, where he is one of three former Ohio State defensive coordinators, along with head coach Tom Herman and DC Chris Ash.

Assistant defensive backs coach Henry Baker: Defensive backs coach at Maryland, the school where he played and began his coaching career as a recruiting intern.

Outside linebackers coach Mike Dawson: Outside linebackers coach at the University of Nebraska, returning to the program where he was defensive line coach in 2018.

Inside linebackers coach Bill McGovern: Defensive analyst at Nebraska, following Dawson’s lead.

Defensive line coach Gary Emanuel:

Not coaching in 2020, according to sources.

The Giants retained their special teams coaching staff — coordinated by Thomas McGaughey, with assistants Tom Quinn and Anthony Blevins — as well as wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, assistant offensive line coach Ben Wilkerson and defensive assistant Bobby Blick.
