Mike Groh, who has 23 years of experience coaching in the NFL and at the collegiate level, is in his second season as the Giants' wide receivers coach.
In 2022, Groh schooled a group that overcame the early season loss of Sterling Shepard and help quarterback Daniel Jones set a franchise record with a 67.2 completion percentage. Darius Slayton the Giants with 724 receiving yards, rookie Wan'Dale Robinson demonstrated he will be a long-term contributor before hurting his knee, and midseason acquisition Isaiah Hodgins tied for the team lead with four touchdown receptions and added a score in the team's NFC Wild Card victory in Minnesota.
Groh was the receivers coach of the Indianapolis Colts in 2020-21. In 2021, Michael Pittman, Jr., caught 88 passes for 1,082 yards and six touchdowns. The previous season, the Colts finished 11-5 and were 11th in the NFL in passing yardage as wideouts T.Y. Hilton, Zach Pascal and Pittman combined for 140 receptions, 1,894 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Groh was the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator from 2018-19 after spending his debut season with the team as the receivers coach. In his first season as coordinator, Philadelphia finished with the NFL's seventh-ranked passing offense (267.2 yards a game) and Zach Ertz set the NFL record for receptions by a tight end with 116.
In 2017, wideouts Nelson Agholor and Alshon Jeffrey totaled 119 catches, 1,557 yards and 17 touchdowns and added 27 receptions in the three-game postseason that culminated with the Eagles defeating New England in Super Bowl LII. The Eagles were the only team with two wide receivers that produced eight-or-more receiving touchdowns.
In 2016, Groh coached the wideouts and was the passing game coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams. He coached the Chicago Bears wide receivers from 2013-15, when his group included Pro Bowlers Brandon Marshall and Jeffrey.
Groh began his college coaching career at his alma mater, the University of Virginia, from 2001-08. He was first the receivers coach, added the quarterbacks in 2003, and coached them exclusively in 2004-05. Groh was the team's offensive coordinator from 2006-08.
In 2009, he moved to Alabama as a graduate assistant before spending a year at Louisville coaching quarterbacks. Groh then returned to Alabama for a two-year stint as receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. The Crimson Tide won the national championship all three years Groh was on Nick Saban's staff.
Groh's father, Al, was a Giants assistant coach from 1989-91, and was the defensive coordinator in the last of those seasons. Mike Groh's first coaching job was as an assistant with the Jets when his father was the head coach in 2000.
