John DeFilippo

One of the best potential candidates available for a team with a young quarterback, DeFilippo could be just what the doctor ordered for Daniel Jones. DeFilippo helped turn Carson Wentz into an MVP candidate and Nick Foles into a Super Bowl MVP. He’s also done wonders with rookie Gardner Minshew, but how would that all translate to being a head coach? As noted earlier, the Giants seem to trend toward quarterback-specific, offensive guys and that has not worked out well, so would they want to make a third attempt at the same style of coach?
