With a lot of free time on their table, thanks to being non-participants in this season’s playoffs, the New York Giants are tackling some other important issues. Among them is finding a new head coach.
In a report by Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Giants have already expressed their intent to interview a couple of candidates to take over the job of interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo, who replaced former head coach Ben McAdoo early last December.
Giants now have submitted requests to interview Patriots’ DC Matt Patricia and OC Josh McDaniels for their HC job, per source. This could be Patricia’s landing spot.

It’s interesting to see the Giants training their eyes on a pair of New England coaching personnel, but New York general manager Dave Gettleman clearly want someone who’s got a winning pedigree to take the team’s helm.
Matt Patricia has been coaching the Patriots’ defensive unit for the last six seasons, though he’s been part of New England since 2004.
Josh McDaniels, meanwhile, has a much extensive experience on the sidelines than Patricia. The current Patriots offensive coordinator has been with the Patriots in 14 of the last 17 seasons. He coached the Denver Broncos for two seasons (2009-2010) and also served as the offensive coordinator of the 2011 St. Louis Rams.
The Giants are coming off an embarrassing 3-13 season in which they suffered injuries to a lot of their key players and locker room controversies on their way to finishing with the franchise’s worst record since going 3-12-1 in 1983.
