McGaughey spent the past six seasons with the Giants and was also with them from 2007-2010 as their assistant special teams coordinator, picking up a Super Bowl XLII ring during that span.

In addition to the Giants, McGaughey has also spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, and Carolina Panthers — all as the special teams coordinator or as an assistant special teams coordinator.
