Giants interviewed Chiefs coach Brendan Daly for defensive coordinator job

The Giants have reportedly interviewed Chiefs linebackers coach Brendan Daly for their defensive coordinator vacancy.

The New York Giants have reportedly interviewed Kansas City Chiefs linebackers coach Brendan Daly for their vacant defensive coordinator position.

The news comes from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Daly, 48, began his NFL coaching career with the Minnesota Vikings in 2006 and has gone to work for the Los Angeles Rams, New England Patriots and Chiefs.

Daly has been a part of five Super Bowl championship teams — three in New England and two in Kansas City.

Daly is very familiar with the Giants’ current coaching staff. He worked alongside current Giants head coach Brian Daboll in New England and Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka in Kansas City.

Daly served as a defensive line coach with the Rams, Vikings and Pats before joining the Chiefs in 2019, where he’s also served as defensive line coach and run-game coordinator before taking the linebackers coach role in 2022.

Prior to his stint in the NFL, Daly was a college coach for eight years.
