Giants Head Coach Search
Both NY Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham have been sought after head coaching candidates and each have job interviews scheduled for the coming days. There is a working list of seven candidates the Giants will sort through to fill their head-coaching vacancy, and there appear to be strata already in place as far as — at this point — determining. Despite going 8-17 in his first two years with the Bears, Rhule emerged as a head coaching candidate after the 2018 season. He was a finalist for the New York Jets head coaching search this past.
The New York Giants will enter the second week of their most recent head coaching search on Monday, having already met with the likes of Mike McCarthy, Don Martindale, Eric Bieniemy and Kris Richard.
Week 2 will kick off with a meeting between the Giants and New England Patriots special teams coordinator/wide receivers coach Joe Judge.
Following Judge, the Giants will meet with Baylor’s Matt Rhule on Tuesday in the most widely anticipated interview of the search yet.
Reports have repeatedly indicated that Rhule is Big Blue’s No. 1 target and choice to replace Pat Shurmur, which is a feeling that is apparently mutual.
It’s also likely that the Giants will meet with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels this week, although it’s unclear when that interview could be scheduled in.
Initially, McDaniels had scheduled head coaching interviews for January 10, but with the Patriots being eliminated from the playoffs, that timetable can move up.

Lastly, the most interesting aspect to Week 2 of New York’s head coaching search is what’s not on the schedule. Will there be any legitimate Bill Belichick rumblings? Will the Giants attempt to meet with Jason Garrett? And will Marvin Lewis draw any interest?

It’s entirely possible the Giants hire a new head coach by the end of the week, so it’s certain to be an interesting few days in East Rutherford.
