Giants complete coaching staff makeover

The Giants’ offensive coaching staff is now set, and the major upheaval continues with two assistants changing roles.

Sean Ryan, the quarterbacks coach the past two years, moves to work with the receivers. Kevin M. Gilbride — son of the former offensive coordinator — moves from coaching the receivers to working with the tight ends.

The reconstruction is now complete to help fix an offense co-owner John Mara labeled as “broken’’ following the 7-9 season.

The Giants on Monday officially named Danny Langsdorf as their new quarterbacks coach, meaning he will be the assistant most responsible for working with Eli Manning on a daily basis. Langsdorf spent the past 11 years at Oregon State, the last nine as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He worked with newly hired Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo in 2004 with the Saints.

Ryan is not new to coaching the wide receivers, having held that position in 2010-11. Gilbride moves to work with the tight ends, replacing Mike Pope, the respected longtime assistant who was fired, as was running backs coach Jerald Ingram.

The only offensive coaches who will return in the same positions are line coach Pat Flaherty, his assistant, Lunda Wells, and offensive assistant Ryan Roeder.

“I like the makeup of our offensive staff,” head coach Tom Coughlin said. “There are some obvious and very good offensive thoughts here. And then you bring in Ben McAdoo … I’m excited about that part of it as well.”

I think the combination of the fundamentals, the innovative ideas and concepts coming from the new coaches, combined with the coaches that we have here that are fundamentalists and very good coaches in their own right, I’m excited about this spring as we put together our identity as an offensive team again. First and foremost, it’s going to be good for our players.”

Langsdorf’s primary responsibility will be to work with and improve the performance of Manning, the two-time Super Bowl MVP who led the NFL with a franchise-record 27 interceptions this season.

Langsdorf said the chance to work with Manning is “just a great opportunity to be able to work with a great quarterback.”

“I know he is looking for improvement off of last year,” Langsdorf said. “I’m looking forward to a new challenge and to live in a new part of the country. I was never in New York for any reason up until the interview [with Coughlin]. I think it’s kind of a neat opportunity for me and my family to experience a different part of the world and just a new challenge, so we’re very excited about that. And getting back to the NFL was something that was appealing to me.”

Langsdorf’s interview with Coughlin stressed the need for Manning to cut down on his turnovers and to improve his production after he had 18 touchdown passes this past season.

“That was a very important part of our conversation and the interview,” Langsdorf said. “He knows he’s got it in him, he’s played great football at times, but I think he had a little bit of an off year, a lot of turnovers. That’s something that we have to correct, do a better job in taking care of the ball and he stressed that, the importance of that for our entire team. That was part of the discussion, for sure, as well as developing some young guys to back him up.”
