Jerry Schuplinski is in his first season as the Giants' quarterbacks coach and his eighth in the NFL.
Schuplinski was the Miami Dolphins' quarterbacks coach in 2019, when he helped the team finish 12th in the NFL with 237.8 passing yards a game. Veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw 20 touchdown passes – his highest total since 2015 – and Miami won five of its last nine games after an 0-7 start.
Before joining the Dolphins' staff Schuplinski spent six seasons (2013-18) with the New England Patriots. He was a coaching assistant for three seasons before beginning a three-year stint as the team's assistant quarterbacks coach. New England won three Super Bowls (XLIX, LI and LIII), four AFC titles and advanced to the conference championship game in every season Schuplinski was on the Patriots' staff under Bill Belichick and with Joe Judge.
Schuplinski spent his final three seasons in New England working closely with Tom Brady. In 2018, Schuplinski's final year with the team, the Patriots won Super Bowl LIII while finishing eighth in passing, averaging 266.1 net passing yards per game. Brady was seventh in the NFL with 4,355 passing yards and 10th with 29 passing touchdowns, earning his 14th Pro Bowl selection.
The previous season, Schuplinski helped Brady win his third NFL Most Valuable Player Award. Brady was the NFL's leading passer, throwing for 4,577 yards. His 32 passing touchdowns and 102.8 passer rating were both third in the league. The Patriots led the NFL in total offense, averaging 394.2 yards per game, and finished second in scoring, averaging 28.6 points per game.
In Schuplinski's first season as assistant quarterbacks coach in 2016, the Patriots won Super Bowl LI. Brady was named Super Bowl MVP after he passed for 466 yards and two touchdowns in a dramatic come-from-behind overtime victory against Atlanta. Patriots quarterbacks set an NFL record with 258 pass attempts without an interception to start the season. With Brady out for the first four games of the season, Schuplinski's extensive early season prep work with quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett helped lead the team to a 3-1 start in Brady's absence.
Schuplinski got his start in the NFL in 2013 with the Patriots as a coaching assistant. During those three years, New England won Super Bowl XLIX and compiled a 36-12 (.750) regular-season record. The Patriots earned a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs in all three seasons.
Prior to New England, Schuplinski spent six seasons (2007-12) as the linebackers and special teams coach at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland. During his tenure, Schuplinski mentored 22 University Athletic Association (NCAA Division III) all-conference selections.
