The first week of the 2026 off-season has already been a whirlwind of news for the New York Giants.<\/p>\n
The Giants themselves haven\u2019t made much news directly. Their massive headlines were made weeks ago when they fired Brian Daboll and retained Joe Schoen. However, their coaching vacancy has placed them at the nexus of some of the biggest news to come out over the first two weeks of the offseason.<\/p>\n
The Giants weren\u2019t the first team to announce scheduled interviews with coaching candidates, but they quickly secured interviews with candidates believed to be at the top of most teams\u2019 lists like Vance Joseph and Lou Anaroumo. They were also quickly connected to a Kevin Stefanski and Kliff Kingsbury when they were released from their positions and will be among the very first teams to interview both men.<\/p>\n
And then the real bombshell of the coaching cycle dropped on Tuesday night, when the Baltimore Ravens fired long-time head coach John Harbaugh.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long for the reporting to include notes that Harbaugh likes the Giants\u2019 job opening, and the Giants are serious about him — as well as Kevin Stefanski.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also been reported that as many as three teams without coaching vacancies could fire their own head coaches in a bid to lure Harbaugh to their facilities. There have been rumors that the number could include the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n
Frankly, we haven\u2019t seen a free agency like this since the Indianapolis Colts released Peyton Manning, and the Giants will be in the thick of it all.<\/p>\n
So that brings us to our questions for the week.<\/p>\n
First and foremost, who should be the Giants\u2019 top coaching target? Should it be the more experienced and accomplished John Harbaugh? Or the younger and offensively-minded Kevin Stefanksi?<\/p>\n
Second: Do the Giants have enough talent to turn their fortunes around with good coaching? Are Jaxson Dart, Malik Nabers, Andrew Thomas, Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy, Theo Johnson, Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Bobby Okereke, Paulson Adebo, Dru Phillips, Jevon Holland, and Tyler Nubin a good-enough core? Could they convince a coach like Harbaugh or Stefanski that the Giants are where they could build an Andy Reid-like second act for their careers?<\/p>\n
And finally, how do you feel about the future of the team now? Are you confident the Giants are heading in the right direction as the coaching search gets underway?<\/p>\n
