The New York Giants missed out on Bill Callahan, who joined the Cleveland Browns on Monday, so their search to replace Hal Hunter as offensive line coach will continue this week.
In addition to Dave DeGuglielmo, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports the Giants will also interview Marc Colombo for the post.
Marc Colombo will interview for the Giants OL opening this week, sources tell @toddarcher and me. Jason Garrett’s presence as offensive coordinator would seem to make this a natural connection. Cowboys pass protection greatly improved in 2019 and still had 5th-ranked run offense.

A former first-round pick of the Chicago Bears in the 2002 NFL Draft, Colombo had a 10-year NFL career that included 111 games played and 95 starts. In addition to his time with the Bears (2002-2005), he also spent time with the Dallas Cowboys (2005-2010) and Miami Dolphins (2011).
Following his retirement, Colombo took some time away from the game before returning in 2016 as an assistant offensive line coach for the Cowboys, which is where he’d remain until being promoted to offensive line coach in 2018.
The 41-year-old Colombo is an old school guy with old school philosophies, which seem to perfectly fit with Joe Judge’s style. And while I have no inside information to base this on, don’t be surprised to see him get the nod over DeGuglielmo if it comes down to those two assistants.
