Giants Add OL Coach Solari and Others

The Giants seem to be filling out Ben McAdoo's first coaching staff.  It's just coming out that Mike Solari will be the new OL coach.  It's unknown at this point whether Lunda Wells was invited to stay on as assistant OL coach.  Solari's had a long career, and though some will posit he is a big time zone proponent, that's not altogether accurate.  Both his Chiefs lines and 49er lines were plenty physical and he should love the Giants young trio of Pugh, Richburg and Flowers.   We'll see what he can do with the rest or what influence he has over the type of OL's we sign and draft now.   He does like to get the Guards and C out to the second level, so it shouldn't be all that different from what TC liked in lineplay.

They also seem to have added Frank Cignetti Jr. as QB Coach.  McAdoo seems to have known Cignetti since college, and may actually be filling the McAdoo Confidante role that Philbin, momentarily, seemed bound for.  It's unclear how much of a QB coach Eli needs at this point, as both McAdoo and Coach Sullivan are among his favorite people and well versed in what Eli needs to do to shine.

No names seem to be emerging on the DL, and Mike Singletary was in today talking about being the linebacking coach.
