1. New York Giants. The Giants have the most attractive job opening of any this offseason. Not only will the head coach inherit a coveted position with one of the NFL’s most historic franchises in the country’s largest market, but Big Blue has also already laid the foundations for future success on both sides of the ball.
The nucleus for a contending offense should already be in place. With a trio of promising skill position players in Jaxson Dart, Malik Nabers and Cam Skattebo—the latter two who should be back and healthy in time for the start of the 2026 campaign—all under contract for several more years, the G-Men just need to pad out the supporting cast to create an upper echelon offensive team. The defense has plenty of talent too, offering a good mix of proven veterans like Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns alongside up-and-coming stars such as 2025 first-rounder Abdul Carter.
If New York can unearth a coach who believes in Dart and has a plan to maximize the quarterback’s unique talents—whether through his own system or that of a trusted offensive coordinator—the Giants will be right in the thick of the playoff hunt at this time next year.
