The New York Giants have a new candidate for their special teams coordinator vacancy and he already works in the same state.
According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, the Giants interviewed New York Jets assistant special teams coach Michael Ghobrial for their special teams coordinator job.
Ghobrial has been with the Jets since 2021. Prior to that, he served as a special teams coordinator at three different college programs, including Washington State (2020), Hawaii (2018-19) and Tarleton State (2016-17).
Here’s a bit more on Ghobrial, per the Jets’ official site:
Ghobrial began his coaching career at his alma mater, UCLA, first as an undergrad assistant (2009-10), then a quality control coach (2011) and finally as a graduate assistant (2012-13). Following his time with the Bruins, he coached at Syracuse (2014) and Colorado Mesa (2015), serving as the team’s co-special teams coordinator in addition to coaching the defensive line and outside linebackers.
Spent two seasons as a defensive end with UCLA, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in history and a master’s degree in social science and comparative education.
This is the third interview the Giants have reportedly conducted with a special teams coordinator candidate in recent days after Big Blue spoke with Chicago Bears assistant special teams coach Carlos Polk on Thursday and San Francisco 49ers assistant special teams coach Matt Harper earlier in the week.
