Pat Shurmur wants to go back to his roots.
After being fired from his post as New York Giants head coach, Shurmur is seeking to land a job as an offensive coordinator elsewhere, according to Ryan Dunleavy of The New York Post.
Dunleavy notes that Shurmur is expected to be “sought after” for an offensive coordinator position rather than sit out the 2020 campaign.
Pat Shurmur was hired as Giants head coach in 2018 but was very unsuccessful in New York, going just 9-23 over two seasons.
Big Blue represented Shurmur's second head-coaching stop, as he also served as head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 2011 through 2012, posting identical results with a 9-23 mark.
Shurmur, who called plays with both the Browns and the Giants, was last an offensive coordinator for the Vikings in 2017, a job he initially earned in an interim role in 2016 after Minnesota made coaching changes.
The 54-year-old landed his first NFL coaching job back in 1999, when he was named the tight ends and offensive line coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
He was then promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2002, where he resided through 2008 before earning his first offensive coordinator role with the St. Louis Rams in 2009.
After two seasons with the Rams, Shurmur was hired as Cleveland's head coach and then returned to the Eagles as an offensive coordinator in 2013. He then joined the Vikings as a tight ends coach in 2016 before being promoted.
The Washington Redskins have been mentioned as a team that could potentially be interested in Shurmur this offseason.
