Hoaglin died Aug. 1 with his wife, Jan, by his side, according to his obituary.
A former Pro Bowl center, Hoaglin spent 11 seasons in the NFL as a player before embarking on a coaching career that lasted more than two decades.
He is perhaps best remembered for his eight seasons as the Giants' offensive line coach from 1985-92 under Bill Parcells.
New York won Super Bowls XXI and XXV during that stretch, and the Giants went 79-48 in the regular season and 7-2 in the playoffs during Hoaglin's tenure.
Hoaglin later followed Parcells to New England, serving as the Patriots' offensive line coach from 1993-96. New England reached the Super Bowl in his final season.
He then joined Tom Coughlin's staff in Jacksonville and coached the Jaguars' tight ends from 1997-2001.
Before becoming a coach, Hoaglin put together an impressive playing career of his own.
A University of Pittsburgh product, he was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 1966 NFL Draft and spent the bulk of his career in Cleveland. He earned Pro Bowl honors before later playing for the Baltimore Colts, Houston Oilers and the expansion Seattle Seahawks.
After retiring from the NFL, Hoaglin continued mentoring young players and spent time assisting the football program at Hilton Head High School.
His obituary said that despite all he accomplished in football, Hoaglin's family considered his faith, devotion to his family and impact on others to be his greatest legacy.
Hoaglin is survived by his wife, two children, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
