Overview
- FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer reports New York is unlikely to hire from the college ranks and has honed in on Mike McCarthy, Matt Nagy, Arthur Smith, Steve Spagnuolo, Lou Anarumo and rising Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula.
- Glazer says the hiring plan features two tracks: target an offensive coach to develop rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart or choose a culture-first leader with a commanding presence.
- Bill Belichick issued a statement declaring he will not pursue the Giants opening or any NFL head-coaching jobs, reiterating his focus on UNC.
- Joe Schoen is leading the search and, though subject to a season-end review, is expected by multiple outlets to remain GM through 2026, with Mike Kafka continuing as interim coach.
- An SNY report characterizes the effort as a thorough, wide-ranging search that could include college coaches, highlighting a contrast with Glazer’s narrower NFL-focused view.
