Giants Finalize Coaching Staff Under Harbaugh

First, before the team’s announcement, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported that former Titans linebackers coach Frank Bush would be joining the Giants as the new inside linebackers coach. Bush is very familiar with new Giants defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. Bush served as Wilson’s linebackers coach for the past two years in Tennessee. Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, he also serves double duty as a mentor to Wilson.

Also, while the announcement was technically finalizing the team’s coaching staff, they will already potentially be looking to replace an assistant position coach. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, recently named assistant defensive line coach Matt Robinson will be heading to Las Vegas to join new Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Leonard‘s staff. Formerly, the Ravens outside linebackers coach, Robinson initially followed Harbaugh from Baltimore but will now join the Raiders as their new secondary coach. Per Schefter, the Giants gave their permission for Robinson to leave and supported him in doing so. He will be reuniting with Leonard, who worked alongside Robinson as outside linebackers coach for a year in Baltimore.

The only other update concerning a position coach has to do with Willie Taggart. When it was first announced that he was joining New York’s staff, it was unclear what role the former Ravens running backs coach would hold as he was still a potential candidate to be offensive coordinator for the Giants. Ultimately, he will retain the title he had held in Baltimore with his new team.

The offense and defense both saw additions of assistant roles in the announcement. On offense, Noah Riley was named football analyst/quality control and Adam Schrack and Mike Snyder were both named offensive quality control. On defense, Brendan Clark was named defensive quality control. Riley, Schrack, and Clark all come over from Baltimore, where they most recently filled roles as defensive football analyst, offensive quality control, and defensive quality control, respectively. Snyder was most recently an offensive assistant for two years with the Texans and has experience with the Falcons and Bears, as well.

Lastly, the announcement showed the addition of T.J. Weist as assistant special teams coach and Megan Rosburg as assistant to the head coach/defensive assistant. Weist most recently spent five years assisting the Ravens with special teams but wasn’t retained after the 2023 season. Rosburg, the daughter of former longtime Ravens special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg, will carry over a role similar to the one she held for the last four years in Baltimore.
