DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
"The youngest member of the Giants coaching staff joined the club from Portland of the World Football League where he served as linebackers coach, a responsibility he first had with New York. The 33-year-old coach is a former NFL linebacker himself, having played the position with both the Buffalo Bills and Boston Patriots.
Born in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, Marty starred at Fort Cherry High School there and then went on to become an All-American linebacker at the University of Pittsburgh. He played in the Senior Bowl in his final year at Pitt and was subsequently drafted by both Baltimore of the NFL and Buffalo of the AFL.
The seventh round choice of the Bills, he played four seasons in Buffalo as a linebacker, appearing in both the 1965 and 1966 AFL championship games, and had six career interceptions for 133 yards returned and one touchdown, as well as earning top ratings for his hitting abilities on special teams. He concluded his playing career with the Patriots in 1970 and then went into the real estate development business in both the Miami and Denver areas through 1973 when he returned to pro football with Portland."
