Reports Place Lou Anarumo as Early Front-Runner for Giants Head-Coach Vacancy

Familiarity with GM Joe Schoen is cited as a key factor in New York’s ongoing evaluation.

Overview

  • Josina Anderson reports a league source expects Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo to receive strong consideration for the Giants’ opening, citing his relationship with Joe Schoen.
  • New York Post reporter Ryan Dunleavy labeled Anarumo the slight favorite at this stage of the process.
  • The Giants’ search remains broad with interim coach Mike Kafka in place, and ownership is expected to weigh Schoen’s preference before an offseason decision.
  • In his first year with Indianapolis, Anarumo’s defense ranks ninth in points allowed and has helped fuel an 8–3 start, with takeaway and sack rates in the league’s upper tier.
  • Anarumo, a former Giants defensive backs coach who also coordinated Cincinnati’s defense, said he would be lying to deny head-coach ambitions but stressed his current focus is on the Colts.
