The New York Giants<\/a> have reportedly requested to interview one of the Indianapolis Colts’<\/a> assistant coaches.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter<\/a>, the Giants would like to interview Colts<\/a>‘ passing game coordinator Alex Tanney for their offensive coordinator opening.<\/p>\n

This is a role that the Giants have been working to fill under new head coach John Harbaugh.<\/p>\n

Along with Tanney, the Giants have also expressed interest in Colts’ offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.<\/a><\/p>\n

As the title suggests, the passing game coordinator is tasked with helping design the passing attack each week, including play designs for specific situations, among other responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Tanny has been in this role with the Colts for the last two seasons. Before that, he spent his first three seasons as a coach with the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This includes being the offensive quality control coach and then working his way up to assistant quarterbacks coach and eventually quarterbacks coach in 2023.<\/p>\n

Tanney was a quarterback for the Giants from 2018-2020.<\/p>\n

Through the first half of the 2025 season, the Colts had one of the most productive passing offenses in the NFL. Even with their second-half slide, Indianapolis finished the year ranked ninth<\/a> in yards per pass attempt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 29, 2026, 3:51 p.m. ET The New York Giants have reportedly requested to interview one of the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":705837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2059],"tags":[95878,2005,7,2004,392,2381,6,49915,95900,95882,95892,95903,95896,95891,95888,95895,95899,96191,95884,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-716417","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indianapolis-colts","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-colts","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-indianapolis","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-indianapoliscolts","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnflcolts","16":"tag-sstsncolts","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagespn-inc","19":"tag-tagindianapolis-colts","20":"tag-tagnational-sports","21":"tag-tagnew-york-giants","22":"tag-tagnfl","23":"tag-tagnfl-hub","24":"tag-tagoverall-neutral","25":"tag-tagphiladelphia-eagles","26":"tag-tagsports-coaching-training","27":"tag-tagsports-news","28":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115983931610127002","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=716417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716417\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/705837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=716417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=716417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=716417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
