CHIEF ASSISTANT AND OFFENSIVE COACH
"The veteran coach joined the Giants last year from Memphis of the World Football League, replacing Floyd Peters who moved on the San Francisco 49ers.
The 47-year-old Fry is a native of Hamilton, Ohio and played his college football at Miami of Ohio as a linebacker for three seasons under Woody Hayes. Jay had a brief trial with the Los Angeles Rams before entering the coaching field, initially at Colina High School in Ohio.
He then moved on to Guelph University in Canada as head coach of both football and wrestling for three years before returning to his alma mater as an assistant coach for seven years. In 1963, Jay moved to Yale University for two seasons as line coach, then moved on to Indiana University in 1965 as offensive coordinator.
Jay held that post for five seasons, including a Rose Bowl appearance in 1969, before moving on again- this time to the Canadian Football League where he was both offensive and defensive line coach with Ottawa for four seasons. In 1974, he went to Memphis as line coach and remained there with that powerful club until joining the Giants in January of 1976 as defensive line coach.
Jay is the holder of a Master's degree from Miami of Ohio."
