The New York Giants still are without an offensive coordinator, but newly hired head coach Joe Judge is making strides in that area with a series of interviews currently ongoing.
One of the first to interview for the position was Mike Shula, who remains on staff in East Rutherford after serving as Pat Shurmur’s offensive coordinator over the previous two seasons.
As new coach Joe Judge tries to fill out his staff, he interviewed Mike Shula on Monday for the Giants offensive coordinator job, per sources. Shula was the Giants OC the last two years under Pat Shurmur. Helped in the development of Daniel Jones.

Although Shula served as the Giants offensive coordinator for multiple seasons, it was essentially in name only. Shula did not call offensive plays and primarily worked with quarterbacks, at times even expressing some level of disconnected from what Shurmur was doing.
Prior to joining the Giants, Shurmur served as the Carolina Panthers’ offensive coordinator from 2013-2017. He was also the head coach at Alabama from 2003-2006.
Given that Shula remains on staff, it makes sense that Judge would give him the courtesy of interview, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a front-runner for the job or even a serious candidate.
Expect additional interviews to take place throughout the week.
