Josh McDaniels
McDaniels is the name that just won’t go away…
There is a constant obsession with Bill Belichick’s coaching tree, and McDaniels has been on the Giants’ radar previously. However, there are rumors swirling that Belichick told both McDaniels and Matt Patricia to steer clear of the organization prior to their hiring of Shurmur, which would be damning for the Giants if true — especially considering Belichick’s strong feelings for the Mara family. On top of that, McDaniels has proved to be a little flaky and didn’t excel as a head coach in Denver.
I would not consider McDaniels a serious candidate at this point, but he’s one the Giants may reach out to again anyway.
