Overview

  • Gruden told ESPN’s Jordan Raanan the opening stands out for the franchise’s stature and Jaxson Dart’s arm talent, athleticism and competitiveness.
  • The Giants are evaluating candidates in-season with Mike Kafka serving as interim head coach after Brian Daboll’s firing.
  • Reporting indicates Kafka is not expected to keep the job into 2026 as general manager Joe Schoen leads a broad review.
  • Names floated in coverage include Lou Anarumo, Jeff Hafley and Mike McCarthy, alongside other veteran coaches and rising coordinators.
  • Jay Gruden said his brother would be very interested in New York, yet Jon Gruden has not coached since resigning from the Raiders in 2021 and remains in litigation with the NFL.
