The Giants and coach John Harbaugh are retaining another member of former coach Brian Daboll’s staff.
Chad Hall will be hired as wide receivers coach, a league source confirmed to Newsday. Hall was an assistant quarterbacks coach last season, his first with the Giants.
Hall spent six seasons with the Bills (2017-22) and was the Bills’ receivers coach the final four seasons. He then spent 2023-24 as the Jaguars’ receivers coach and also interviewed with Harbaugh in 2023 for the Ravens’ vacant offensive coordinator position.
With the Jaguars, he helped develop Brian Thomas as a rookie in 2024. Thomas was a Pro Bowl selection in 2024 after registering 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns, both franchise rookie records.
Hall is the seventh position coach or coordinator added to Harbaugh’s staff. On the offensive side, Hall joins Willie Taggart and Tim Kelly as assistants who’ve been confirmed so far.
Harbaugh is still looking for an offensive coordinator. He reportedly interviewed Colts passing game coordinator Alex Tanney on Friday and will interview Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter on Sunday according to NFL Network.
The Giants also requested to interview Broncos passing game coordinator Davis Webb but Webb is also considered a candidate for the Broncos’ offensive coordinator job.
Harbaugh could also consider LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. Weis coached quarterback Jaxson Dart at Ole Miss and his father, Charlie Sr., was the Giants’ running backs coach from 1991-92. However, Weis Jr.’s only NFL experience is being an offensive assistant in 2017 to then-Falcons offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian.
For now, Hall is another addition to Harbaugh’s staff that maintains some continuity after Kelly, who coached tight ends, and outside linebackers Charlie Bullen.
