Giants Coaching Search: Texans DC Matt Burke Emerges as Interview Candidate

League rules push any in-person interview until after the divisional round.

Overview

ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported that Matt Burke is expected to be in the mix for the New York Giants' head-coaching vacancy.
Houston finished 11-5 with the NFL's No. 1 defense in points, yards and first downs allowed, with Burke handling defensive duties since Week 4.
DeMeco Ryans initially ran the Texans' defense before turning it over to Burke this season, complicating how credit for the unit's rise is assigned.
Burke's résumé includes two seasons as the Dolphins' defensive coordinator and prior overlap with Giants GM Joe Schoen, plus past work with interim DC Charlie Bullen.
Analysts view Burke as a likely interviewee while noting he has never been a head coach and remains relatively unknown to Giants fans.
