As it shook out, Kevin Gilbride is the only Giants coordinator who won't return in 2014 after he retired last week.

Special teams coordinator Tom Quinn will be back next season, multiple sources with knowledge of the team's thinking told NJ.com and The Star-Ledger. So will defensive coordinator Perry Fewell after the Washington Redskins decided Thursday to go in another direction with their head coaching hire.

Fewell and Quinn are each believed to have one year remaining on their current contracts.

Quinn was under fire this season after the Giants' special teams struggled badly. They finished 28th in Football Outsiders' special teams rankings after they allowed three punt return touchdowns and struggled in the return game.

Fans were hoping for a change with the special teams. In our keep 'em or dump 'em polls, 88.4 percent of the almost 1,800 votes were to dump Quinn. But a rash of injuries and subsequent lack of talent at the bottom of the roster likely earned him another season.

Quinn, 45, will now enter his ninth season as Giants special teams coach. His units ranked 10th and 15th in the Football Outsiders rankings the previous two seasons.
