Joe Judge is officially the new coach of the New York Giants.
The New England Patriots special teams coordinator and receivers coach reached a contract agreement Wednesday.
The deal was finalized a day after the 38-year-old was offered the job and asked to turn around a franchise that has made the playoffs once since the 2011 season, Judge succeeds Pat Shurmur, who was fired a week ago after winning nine games in two seasons.
Judge was not considered a front-runner for the Giants job.
