Here’s what the Giants are looking for in their next head coach | New York PostIf it was as easy as Mike Vrabel is making it look, owners around the NFL would fire and hire new head coaches with even more regularity than they currently discard one guy and welcome in another.

That said, they do want to give interim coach Mike Kafka a real run at the job. Going into Monday night’s game in Foxborough, and through two games, Kafka’s shown an ability to juggle play-calling and be the head coach, with the offense having run up 517 yards and 27 points in Detroit last week, and 336 yards and 20 points on a high-end Packers defense the week before without Jaxon Dart at QB.
Kafka’s on a pared-down list of about 10 candidates that GM Joe Schoen has built, a list that Schoen has curated over the years on the advice of mentors who’d tell him that a good GM would always keep one. That doesn’t mean the Giants won’t add to the list. But it does mean that, while they’re researching a wide range of options, they won’t interview the whole football world for a job that will be highly coveted in the industry.
Jon Gruden: Giants head coaching opening is attractive2026 NFL draft questions: Top prospects, QB class, risers | ESPN.comThe Giants (2-10) enabled the foolhardy play to a degree under Daboll — failing to emphasize the need to be more careful. Backup quarterback Jameis Winston, who has started two games in Dart’s absence, said he would relay the message from the coaching staff and higher-ups, only when it was brought to him first. He didn’t want Dart to change the way he plays football, the same way that helped him get to the NFL and the first round of the draft.
Sometimes, though, those few extra yards that Dart’s heart and natural competitiveness desire are just not worth it — especially if it’s near midfield or when he already got the first down. After not being available for two games because of the concussion, his teammates realize something needs to change, for the long- and short-term benefit of the player and team.
The Giants need to help Jaxson Dart. What position do you expect them to target in Round 1? Wide receiver or offensive line. The Giants still need another offensive threat who strikes fear into opposing defenses. They have some solid players after wide receiver Malik Nabers but no real explosive playmakers. Plus, a decision must be made on fellow receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who is a free agent after the season.
New York’s offensive line is playing well right now — it’s ranked in the top half of the league in pass block win rate — but there are questions for the future. Right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor is having a strong season and is in line for a payday as an impending free agent. Will he stay in New York? Left guard Greg Van Roten is also a free agent and 35 years old. One could argue that the Giants could greatly benefit from taking a Pro Bowl guard or tackle at the top of the draft.
