Mike Groh, who has 24 years of collegiate and NFL coaching experience, is in his third season as the Giants' wide receivers coach.
In 2023, Groh coached a mostly young corps of receivers that included second-year pro Wan'Dale Robinson, who led the team with 60 catches; Darius Slayton, the Giants' leader with 770 yards, who also had a team-high-tying four touchdown receptions; and rookie Jalin Hyatt, who averaged a team-best 16.2-yards-per-catch.
The previous season, Groh's group overcame the early season loss of Sterling Shepard and help quarterback Daniel Jones complete a franchise record 67.2% of his passes. Slayton led the Giants with 724 receiving yards 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 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.
Groh coached the wideouts of the Los Angeles Rams in 2016 and the Chicago Bears 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.
Mike Groh was Virginia's starting quarterback in 1994-95, when the Cavaliers were a combined 18-7 and won two bowl games. In 1997, he played in the World League with the Rhein Fire.
Groh's brother, Matt, is the New England Patriots' director of player personnel.
