NY Giants’ LB coach Brett Bielema hired as Illinois head coach | 4 replacement possibilities

Sean Duggan

Despite the fact that he is only 27, Duggan has plenty of big-time coaching experience under his belt.

Back in 2016, months after graduating from Boston College, he joined the University of Hawaii staff and coached the Rainbows’ linebackers for two seasons. Duggan also has spent time as a defensive assistant at Ohio State, where last season the Buckeyes ranked in the top-five natinoally in yards per play, total defense, and scoring defense en route to a Big Ten Championship.

Duggan returned to his alma mater this past season, where as a player he played in 45 career games and was a captain.

Given his experience with marquee programs, his rising profile in the college ranks, and the Giants’ youth at linebacker, Duggan could be a name to watch.
