Pat Flaherty, the Rutgers offensive line coach, works the same job he held from 1984-91 — long before any of his current players were born.
It takes 29 years for Saturn to orbit the sun and only slightly longer than that for Pat Flaherty to close a loop on his coaching career.
In the eight years since he left the Giants when Coughlin was forced out, Flaherty’s career has become transient. This is his seventh stop — including working for the NFL office in 2020,under head coach Joe Judge in 2021 and consulting for Schiano at Rutgers last season. The offensive line has only one starter returning to the same spot after allowing pressure on 35.5 percent of dropbacks, according to Pro Football Focus, and surrendering 21 sacks in nine Big Ten games last season. Schiano said it was the most barren position in the program when he returned.
“Flats has an incredible capacity to work — hours is never an issue — and he connects with the players in his way,” Schiano said. “To me, the coaches who get in trouble are the ones who try to be what they are not. I don’t care how old you are: If you are authentic and you are a good man and you are making them better, they are going to connect. Flats does that every day.
“I tell them, ‘I’ll be here as long as you are, as long as Greg Schiano is, as long as I’m healthy. I have no vision of retirement because I found when I slow down, that doesn’t motivate me. What motivates me is teaching the guys when they are locked in and interjecting thoughts to Kirk Ciarocca, who is a great listener.”There are rewards in listening to Flaherty, who still is scheming things the way he used to ask the Giants’ David Diehl to block Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware.
