The New York Giants have fired offensive line coach Marc Colombo.
Coach Joe Judge announced the stunning move on Wednesday without explanation. Veteran line coach Dave DeGuglielmo will finish the season running the line.
The Giants (3-7) are heading into a bye week with the new offensive line starting to play well. New York has won two straight games to get back in the race for the NFC East title.
“We appreciate what Marc has done, but I felt like this move is in the best interest of the team,” Judge said in a statement.
Judge and DeGuglielmo worked together on Bill Belichick’s coaching staff in New England in 2014-15. DeGuglielmo interviewed to be the offensive line coach after Judge was hired.

The relatively new line has started to mesh after a slow start. Coming into the season the only carryovers on the starting unit were left guard Will Hernandez and right guard Kevin Zeitler.
Nick Gates was converted to a center and the tackle spots were manned by rookie Andrew Thomas, the fourth pick overall in the draft, and free agent signee Cam Fleming, who was with Dallas last season with Colombo as his line coach.
When the Giants hired former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett to be the offensive coordinator, Colombo followed him here.
