Chad Corridor goes from teaching Jaxson Dart to Malik Nabers.
New Giants head coach John Harbaugh is predicted to call Corridor, the crew’s 2025 assistant quarterbacks coach, as their new extensive receivers coach for the 2026 NFL season, per CBS Sports activities.
Retaining Corridor, 39, retains one acquainted face from Dart’s rookie 12 months on the offensive facet of the constructing for his second NFL season, with Brian Daboll, Mike Kafka and Shea Tierney all lengthy gone.
And it permits Corridor to return to the place room he is aware of finest.
The previous NFL extensive receiver coached the likes of Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. from 2019 by 2024 for the Buffalo Payments and Jacksonville Jaguars, respectively.
Corridor was employed final offseason whereas the Giants have been pursuing his brother-in-law, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, in a commerce. Stafford in the end determined to remain in Los Angeles.
However Corridor managed to persuade Harbaugh that his one 12 months of labor with Dart and the Giants’ offense will be capable of assist the gamers translate their 2025 work to the playbook of no matter offensive coordinator Harbaugh hires.
Harbaugh already had proven curiosity in Corridor earlier than when Corridor interviewed for the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator emptiness in Jan. 2023, as properly.
Corridor succeeds Mike Groh, who coached the Giants’ receivers for Daboll’s full three-and-a-half time period as head coach.
The query now’s who Harbaugh goes to rent to run Dart’s offense. The crew missed out on its best choice, former Ravens OC Todd Monken, who selected the Cleveland Browns’ head teaching job as an alternative.
Corridor returning as extensive receivers may provide a clue to Broncos QB coach Davis Webb being an actual chance for the Giants, since Webb was on the Payments’ roster from 2019-21 whereas Corridor coached their wideouts.
However Webb additionally is taken into account the entrance runner to be promoted to Denver’s offensive coordinator place on Sean Payton’s workers — though it’s potential the Giants may have a leg up on Denver in with the ability to provide Webb playcalling duties, one thing Payton does himself in Denver.
Kliff Kingsbury stays the largest identify out there on the free agent offensive coordinator board in the intervening time, and Harbaugh should exhaust all choices and sources to determine the perfect match for Dart and for his offense.
As for Corridor, he may find yourself having to begin the 2026 season with Nabers nonetheless sidelined by a surgically repaired ACL. So this will probably be no straightforward process in 12 months one. Then once more, the Giants have some excessive draft picks and will add extra expertise to that room in a number of months, too.
ANOTHER FAMILIAR FACE ON DEFENSE
Harbaugh is also hiring Ravens defensive backs coach Donald D’Alesio, per CBS Sports activities, with the title of defensive move sport coordinator and secondary coach, per ESPN.
D’Alesio curiously doesn’t have expertise teaching with Giants new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, who held the Ravens’ defensive backs coach title in 2023, two years earlier than D’Alesio.
However they’re each trusted former Harbaugh Baltimore assistants with expertise understanding what the pinnacle coach expects from that facet of the ball.
The Giants’ secondary is in main want of a jumpstart after a horrendous season on the again finish courtesy of poor drafting, unnecessarily frequent workers turnover and lackadaisical play.
D’Alesio ought to be receiving reinforcements from the draft, although. Harbaugh has a historical past of prioritizing corners and safeties in play acquisition.
