Joe Judge had two rough years as head coach of the New York Giants.
Shortly after the team finished the 2021 season with just four wins, the Giants parted ways with Judge.
Although it's been two NFL seasons since Judge coached the team, former Giants wide receiver Golden Tate still appears to harbor some resentment toward his former coach.
When a social media user asked Tate a question about his time in New York, the Super Bowl winner took the opportunity to criticize Judge.

“What was it like playing for the Giants and traveling to their facility?” someone asked Tate on social media.
“My time with the Giants was interesting,” Tate said in a video posted on X. The wide receiver, who hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2020, explained some of the challenges he faced in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. But he also poked fun at Judge, calling him “one of the descendants of the Patriots.”
“My senior year was during the year of COVID, and it sucked because we had to play almost every game without fans in the stadium. So, it felt like a scrimmage. It sucked. And on top of that, one of the Patriots' descendants, Joseph Judge, came in, who thought he could remake the wheel by trying to do everything like Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and it didn't work out.”
Judge was one of several coaches who landed a head coaching job after working with Bill Belichick in New England during the Patriots dynasty.

In addition to Judge, Matt Patricia, Josh McDaniels and Charlie Weis all struggled to achieve anywhere near the level of success they became accustomed to once they left Foxborough.

Tate spent just one season with Judge. He arrived in East Rutherford in 2019, but Judge didn't get the Giants' head coaching job until the following year.
At the time of his hiring, the Giants received some praise for what was described as a smart decision to select a former special teams coordinator as head coach, especially considering the Baltimore Ravens won a Super Bowl under John Harabugh. Harabugh spent several years as a special teams coordinator at the college and NFL levels.

But Tate strongly suggested the team addressed some underlying issues during Judge's rocky tenure.
Tate finished the 2020 season with 388 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 12 games. He had a more productive season the year before Judge arrived, finishing the 2019 campaign with 676 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
