The New York Giants are mourning the loss of Ray Handley, a former assistant coach who later led the franchise as head coach. He was 81.

The Giants said Handley's family member, Rob Handley, confirmed the former coach's passing. Details on a cause of death were not immediately made available.

Handley first joined the Giants coaching staff in 1984, working as an assistant under then-head coach Bill Parcells. During his seven-year stint as the team's offensive backfield coach, Handley played a role in the Giants winning two Super Bowl titles.

Parcells retired following the Giants’ second championship in that run. Handley was elevated to the head coach position in 1991.

But, Parcells’ success ultimately proved difficult for Handley to follow. One of his first key decisions was naming Jeff Hostetler over Phil Simms as the starting quarterback during training camp in 1991. Simms had flourished as the starter the previous season until suffering a leg injury before Hostetler took over to finish the Super Bowl run.

The Giants went 8-8 in Handley’s debut season and fell to 6-10 the following year. Handley was dismissed after the 1992 season and was replaced by former Denver Broncos coach Dan Reeves.

Handley served as an assistant coach at Army, Stanford and Air Force before taking an assistant coaching job with the Giants. He did not coach again after he was fired by New York.

Before he entered the coaching ranks, Handley was running back at Stanford.

The FBI is investigating Fulton County’s handling of the 2020 election, according to newly filed search warrant affidavits outlining alleged ballot irregularities and record-keeping failures.

The FBI special agent who wrote the affidavits, which were filed Tuesday in federal court by the Department of Justice, described a wide-ranging probe into missing ballot images, inconsistent recount totals and chain-of-custody problems, raising allegations long leveled by President Donald Trump and his base.

The agent, Hugh Evans of the FBI Atlanta Field Office, said in the affidavits that physical ballots were needed to determine whether the irregularities were administrative errors or intentional.

Evans said the FBI investigation originated from a referral the bureau received from Kurt Olsen, who is described as a Trump-appointed director of election security and integrity.

The affidavits come after the FBI executed court-authorized search warrants at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in January and explain the probable cause used to justify the warrants.
