The New York Giants are shaking things up under new head coach John Harbaugh, and the coaching staff for the 2026 season is finally set—or is it? Just when you think the pieces are in place, a surprising twist emerges. Let’s dive into the details, because this lineup has more layers than you might expect.
But here's where it gets controversial... While the Giants officially announced their finalized coaching staff on Friday, there’s already talk of a key departure. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, newly appointed assistant defensive line coach Matt Robinson is heading to Las Vegas to join the Raiders’ staff. Is this a sign of instability, or just the nature of the NFL coaching carousel? The Giants reportedly gave their blessing, but it raises questions about how long this staff will stay intact.
Before the official announcement, CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported that Frank Bush, former Titans linebackers coach, would join the Giants as their new inside linebackers coach. Bush isn’t just any hire—he’s a close collaborator of new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, having worked with him in Tennessee for the past two years. And this is the part most people miss... Bush also serves as a mentor to Wilson, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, adding a layer of depth to their partnership.
Another familiar face making the move to New York is Willie Taggart, the former Ravens running backs coach. Initially, it was unclear whether he’d take on a bigger role, like offensive coordinator, but he’ll stick to what he knows, retaining his previous title. Is this a missed opportunity for innovation, or a smart move to maintain consistency? Let us know what you think in the comments.
The Giants also added several assistant roles, both on offense and defense. Noah Riley, Adam Schrack, and Mike Snyder join the offensive side, with Riley as a football analyst/quality control and Schrack and Snyder in offensive quality control roles. Brendan Clark steps in as defensive quality control. Most of these hires come from Baltimore, where Harbaugh previously coached, but Snyder brings experience from the Texans, Falcons, and Bears.
Special teams also saw a boost with the addition of T.J. Weist as assistant special teams coach. Weist spent five years with the Ravens but wasn’t retained after the 2023 season. Meanwhile, Megan Rosburg, daughter of former Ravens special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg, joins as assistant to the head coach and defensive assistant. Is this a case of nepotism, or a smart move to bring in proven talent? The debate is open.
While the Giants’ coaching staff looks solid on paper, the early departure of Robinson and the mix of familiar and new faces raise intriguing questions. Are they building a championship team, or just another revolving door? Share your thoughts below—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.
