Tuesday’s news is a reversal from a Dec. 26 report that the Giants had decided to keep Judge for a third season. The Giants went 4-13 in 2021 after going 6-10 in 2020. Judge was hired by the team on Jan. 8, 2020, after 8 seasons on staff with the New England Patriots.

Judge, who turned 40 on Dec. 31, earned 3 letters playing for Mississippi State from 2000 to 2004. After his playing career, he got his start in coaching as an MSU graduate assistant from 2005-07.

After a season at Birmingham-Southern (2008) as linebackers coach and special teams coordinator, Judge joined Nick Saban’s Alabama staff in 2009 as a special teams assistant, a position he held for 3 seasons. Judge left Alabama to be a special teams assistant with the New England Patriots ahead of the 2012 season.
