Giants Officially Hire Pat Shurmur
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) _ Pat Shurmur is the new head coach of the New York Giants after two seasons as the Minnesota Vikings' offensive coordinator.
He inherits a team that went 3-13 under Ben McAdoo and interim coach Steve
Spagnuolo last season, one year after making the playoffs.
Shurmur returns to the head coaching ranks for the first time since leading the Cleveland Browns in 2011-12.
The Vikings were 10th in points per game in 2017.
