Giants Head Coach Search
The New York Giants will enter the second week of their most recent head coaching search on Monday, having already met with the likes of Mike McCarthy, Don Martindale, Eric Bieniemy and Kris Richard.
The New York Giants are beginning their search for a new head coach. Whoever they bring in must ignite excitement and cultural change to the franchise. After letting Pat Shurmur go, the New York Giants next head coach needs to bring change and positive, exciting energy to the Big Apple. The Giants are in the midst of an extensive coaching search after parting ways with Pat Shurmur — the franchise’s third permanent head coach in the last five years.
Week 2 will kick off with a meeting between the Giants and New England Patriots special teams coordinator/wide receivers coach Joe Judge.
Following Judge, the Giants will meet with Baylor’s Matt Rhule on Tuesday in the most widely anticipated interview of the search yet.
Reports have repeatedly indicated that Rhule is Big Blue’s No. 1 target and choice to replace Pat Shurmur, which is a feeling that is apparently mutual.

It’s also likely that the Giants will meet with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels this week, although it’s unclear when that interview could be scheduled in.

Initially, McDaniels had scheduled head coaching interviews for January 10, but with the Patriots being eliminated from the playoffs, that timetable can move up.
Lastly, the most interesting aspect to Week 2 of New York’s head coaching search is what’s not on the schedule. Will there be any legitimate Bill Belichick rumblings? Will the Giants attempt to meet with Jason Garrett? And will Marvin Lewis draw any interest?
It’s entirely possible the Giants hire a new head coach by the end of the week, so it’s certain to be an interesting few days in East Rutherford.
