Report: Mississippi State Zeroing in on Joe Judge as New Head Coach

Patriots special teams and wide receivers coach Joe Judge is drawing serious interest from his alma mater to be their next head coach.

New England Patriots special teams and wide receivers coach Joe Judge, who is drawing interest as a head-coaching candidate in the NFL, is also drawing interest to be the next head coach of his alma mater - Mississippi State.

According to Ross Dellenger of Sports Illustrated, Miss. State's head-coaching search has zeroed in on Judge, but there has been a delay. 

Sources: Mississippi State's search has zeroed in on former Bulldogs QB and #Patriots SPT coordinator Joe Judge, but there has been a delay.

He interviewed for the Giants' HC position Monday. With Matt Rhule no longer a candidate at NYG, the situation grows even more complicated

Judge is apparently waiting on a decision from the Giants, whom he interviewed with on Monday, before he makes a decision to move down to the college ranks. 

With offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels aggressively pursuing a head-coaching position, it looks like two key Patriots staffers could be on their way out the door within the next couple weeks.
