Hey all,
Giants fan here. I was going down a rabbit hole looking up some of our former coaches, and when I got to Joe Judge I noticed something that confused me.
He’s currently listed at Ole Miss Rebels football as “Head Coach of Offense / Quarterbacks Coach.”
I’ve been following football (NFL + college) for years, and I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever seen the title “Head Coach of Offense” before.
At first, I assumed it was just a fancy way of saying offensive coordinator. But then I saw that Ole Miss also hired John David Baker as their actual offensive coordinator.
So now I’m even more confused.
What does “Head Coach of Offense” actually mean?
Do you think this is just a made-up title to give him more status? Especially considering the head coaching situation when Lane Kiffin left—was this possibly a way to bring Judge in (or keep him happy) without giving him the full HC job?
Curious if anyone has insight into how this actually works behind the scenes, because this feels like one of those modern CFB staff structure things that didn’t really exist even 10–15 years ago.
