NFL Trade Rumors
Jordan Raanan of ESPN writes that the Giants are expected to cast a very wide net when it comes to their head-coaching search this offseason.
Raanan reiterates that GM Joe Schoen is expected to run the search and return as the team’s general manager once the next head coach is hired. Multiple sources tell Raanan that Schoen “is coming back” as the general manager despite a 6-27 record over the past two seasons.
This, of course, is barring any last-minute change from ownership or something in the process like a top coaching candidate who demands his own general manager. It’s worth mentioning that former Giants head coaches Ben McAdoo and Joe Judge were told they were safe before being let go.
As for the head coach candidates, Raanan lists these names as those to keep an eye on in the coming weeks:
Raanan also mentions current Browns HC Kevin Stefanski, Steelers HC Mike Tomlin, Ravens HC John Harbaugh and Bengals HC Zac Taylor as possibilities should their respective teams move on.

McCarthy posted a record of 49-35 (58.3 percent) in five years with the Cowboys, with three playoff appearances and a 1-3 record in the postseason.
