New York Giants
The New York Giants have requested an interview with Denver Broncos special teams coordinator and assistant head coach Darren Rizzi for their vacant head coaching position.
The report comes courtesy of ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Rizzi, 55, is a familiar face for Giants’ GM Joe Schoen. The two spent eight years together in the Miami Dolphins’ organization, from 2009 when Rizzi joined the Dolphins staff until 2017 when Schoen left to join the Buffalo Bills’ front office.
During that time, Rizzi spent that time as a special teams’ coach, while Schoen was a national scout, director of college scouting, and finally...

John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski are the clear front-runners in a New York Giants’ head coaching search that is skewing heavily toward experienced candidates. The Giants, though, have serious competition from a number of teams for both decorated coaches.
Harbaugh, seeking to decompress and probably study his options, reportedly will not take any interviews until next week. Stefanski interviewed with the Giants Tuesday night and Wednesday.
What if both candidates spurn the Giants for what they perceive to be better opportunities? Or, if the Giants somehow decide that neither Harbaugh nor Stefanski is right for them?
Where do the Giants...

Since John Harbaugh was fired on Monday by the Baltimore Ravens, there have been reports that multiple teams who did not have head coaching vacancies would fire their current head coaches if they thought they could bring in Harbaugh.
It isn’t hard to think the Miami Dolphins, who fired head coach Mike McDaniel on Thursday, fit into that category.
The Palm Beach Post reported even before the McDaniel firing that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has a history of pursuing both John and Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh is, of course, currently coaching the Los Angeles Chargers.

Raheem Morris, fired this week by the Atlanta Falcons, is interviewing for the New York Giants head coaching vacancy on Thursday.

Former Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski had dinner with the Giants on Tuesday evening and completed his in-person interview on Wednesday.
Former Giants linebacker and Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce is expected to dine with Giants’ brass Thursday night and complete his in-person interview on Friday.

It’s the end of another NFL regular season, and the New York Giants are once again in upheaval. A tradition unlike any other. The team plummeted once again to the nether regions of the NFL standings…but not far enough to secure the top pick in next year’s draft. The head coach that many fans wanted gone was fired…but not the general manager that many wanted to get the boot as well. Maybe most importantly, ownership family ties that permeate the front office remain in place.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, indeed. Giants fans won’t get fooled...

Daniel Bellinger’s career arc with the New York Giants has been difficult to understand at times.
A fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Bellinger started immediately. He caught 30 passes in 35 targets, two for touchdowns, in a promising rookie season.
Since then, though, Bellinger has always played second-fiddle to someone else on the Giants’ tight end depth chart.
In 2023, that was veteran Darren Waller. Bellinger was mostly forgotten about that season until Waller, inevitably, was injured. He ended up with 25 receptions.
Over the past two seasons, Bellinger has been usurped by 2024 fourth-round pick Theo Johnson....

The first week of the 2026 off-season has already been a whirlwind of news for the New York Giants.
The Giants themselves haven’t made much news directly. Their massive headlines were made weeks ago when they fired Brian Daboll and retained Joe Schoen. However, their coaching vacancy has placed them at the nexus of some of the biggest news to come out over the first two weeks of the offseason.
The Giants weren’t the first team to announce scheduled interviews with coaching candidates, but they quickly secured interviews with candidates believed to be at the top of most teams’ lists...

With everything that has happened since Sunday, it seems like a long time ago that the New York Giants ended their 2025-26 season with a 34-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Linebacker Bobby Okereke, who had a fumble recovery and an interception leading to 10 New York points, had a lot to do with the victory. On Wednesday, Okereke was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week. That is the first time in his seven-year career he has won that honor.
Okereke, 29, finished the season with 143 tackles, the third-highest total of his career.
Okereke just completed the third...

The New York Giants are continuing to stockpile interviews with experienced candidates for their head coaching vacancy. Recently-fired former Atlanta Falcons coach Raheem Morris is the latest to be added to the list of coaches the Giants will interview.
Morris, 49, was fired by the Falcons after Atlanta went 8-9 for the second consecutive season in 2025. Morris also coached the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2009-2011, and was Falcons head coach in 2020. So, he has had three opportunities to be a head coach.
In those three opportunities, Morris has a 37-56 record (.398 winning percentage). He was fired this...

The 2026 offseason is well and truly underway for the New York Giants.
They’ve started their interview process for a new head coach, and have already scheduled interviews with multiple top candidates. How that process plays out will inform the rest of their off-season strategy, and we should probably expect a hire before the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl practices at the end of the month.
Until then, we though it would make a nice start to start the draft process with a “baseline” two-round mock draft.
My stance,...

The New York Giants have scheduled an interview with former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy.
The the interview, which was was first reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN, is scheduled for next week.
McCarthy, 62, was most recently the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. He led them for five years, from 2020 to 2024, amassing records of 6-10, 12-5, 12-5, 12-5, and 7-10 with two division titles over that period. He had a 49-35 (.583) regular season record in Dallas and the Cowboys made the playoffs three times under McCarthy, with one win and three...
