The New York Giants have made a surprising move by hiring former Jaguars and Bills wide receivers coach Chad Hall as their new assistant quarterbacks coach. What makes this hiring even more intriguing is the fact that Hall is the brother-in-law of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Hall’s sister, Kelly, met Stafford back when she was a cheerleader for the Georgia Bulldogs. The two got married in 2015 and now have four daughters together. The connection between Hall and Stafford goes beyond just being in-laws – the two are close friends who have supported each other throughout their NFL careers.
When Hall retired from playing professional football, it was Stafford who encouraged him to pursue coaching. Hall has been an NFL coach for the past eight years, working with the Bills and Jaguars before joining the Giants.
The hiring of Stafford’s brother-in-law has raised some eyebrows, with questions being asked about whether this is a genuine move by the Giants or just a favor to Stafford. However, Hall’s coaching experience and the close relationship between the two suggest that this could be a smart move by the Giants to bring in someone who understands the quarterback position intimately.
During their time in the NFL, Stafford and Hall have faced off against each other, with the two maintaining a tradition of talking on the phone the night before the game. This unique dynamic between the two will certainly add an interesting subplot when the Rams and Giants meet next season.
Overall, the Giants’ decision to hire Chad Hall as their assistant quarterbacks coach is a bold one, but it could pay dividends if he can help develop the team’s signal-caller and leverage his close relationship with Stafford to the team’s advantage.
