Patriots Rumors: Ex-Giants Coach Becomes Latest Coordinator Interview

It’s been a busy week for New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo, who immediately after being introduced in his new role began the search for his new coaching staff.

The process of interviews continued Saturday.

The Patriots interviewed former New York Giants special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey for the same position, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. The 50-year-old held that role in New York for six seasons, which spanned three different regimes.

He was fired on Jan. 8 following a disappointing campaign with New York, in which his special teams unit finished 24th in the Rick Gosselin’s annual special teams rankings.
