Giants Set Initial Head-Coach Interview Slate as Schoen Leads Post–Week 18 Push

Interviews will begin after Week 18 under GM Joe Schoen, whose defensive-leaning slate puts a premium on each candidate’s plan for QB Jaxson Dart.

Overview

  • ESPN reports the list submitted to ownership features Mike McCarthy, Antonio Pierce, Jeff Hafley, Lou Anarumo and Rams coordinator Chris Shula, with interim Mike Kafka also set to interview.
  • Additional expected requests include Broncos coordinator Vance Joseph and Chargers coordinator Jesse Minter, underscoring the defensive tilt of the early pool.
  • Multiple conversations with prospective candidates indicate Joe Schoen is expected to remain as general manager after ownership tasked him with leading the search.
  • Under NFL rules, most interviews will commence after Sunday’s finale, with outreach to employed coaches allowed once the regular season ends.
  • Giants position coaches were told to take time off during the transition, and they are believed to be under contract through next season.
