Giants head coaching search: Interview slate heating up

The New York Giants have at least four head coaching interviews line up over the coming days and several others in the works.

The New York Giants were granted permission to interview New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and special teams coordinator/wide receiver coach Joe Judge on Wednesday, but those interviews have not yet been scheduled.

However, four others have.

Here’s a quick look at the Giants’ current slate of interviews, which will all occur in the coming days:

  • Thursday: Dallas Cowboys Defensive Backs Coach/Passing Game Coordinator Kris Richard
  • Fridat: Former Green Bay Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy
  • Saturday: Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Coordinator Eric Bieniemy
  • Saturday: Baltimore Ravens Defensive Coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale

In addition to those six head coaches (McDaniels and Judge included), there is rampant speculation that the Giants have interest in Baylor head coach Matt Rhule and view him as a favorite, but no official interview request has been made yet.

Rhule, whose Bears fell to the Georgia Bulldogs in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday night, has said he intends to leave for an offseason vacation with his family immediately.
