New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh has filled a number of spots on his coaching staff, but has yet to find an offensive coordinator to run the team\u2019s offense and steward the development of second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not for a lack of trying. Harbaugh and GM Joe Schoen skipped attending the Senior Bowl to hunker down in East Rutherford, N.J. and work on the coaching staff. Harbaugh, of course, wanted Todd Monken to follow him from the Baltimore Ravens to run the offense. The Cleveland Browns wrecked that plan by naming Monken head coach.<\/p>\n
So, Harbaugh has been hard at work on Plan B. Here is what he said recently about the type of offensive coordinator he wants<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want a one system guy, who has his fit and you\u2019ve got to build all the players to fit \u2018my system.\u2019 I want a guy that can look at our players and say, \u2018OK…\u2019 Because Jaxson Dart can live in different worlds. He can be under center, he can play action, he can drop back in the gun, he can run the RPOs \u2014 I like all the different things he can do, so I want to have a coach that reflects that ability that he has.\u201d<\/p>\n Let\u2019s look at the known candidates and where things stand currently.<\/p>\n The Denver Broncos pass game coordinator\/quarterbacks coach interviewed for a number of head-coaching jobs this cycle. He removed himself from the last one he had a chance at \u2014 the Las Vegas Raiders opening \u2014 last week.<\/p>\n The Giants have requested an interview with their two-time backup quarterback, but that has not happened yet. The 31-year-old is considered a fast-rising star in the coaching industry, and there is a push-pull between the Broncos and Webb\u2019s other suitors to see whether he will actually leave Sean Payton and the Broncos.<\/p>\n The Broncos fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi after losing to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. They could easily promote Webb to that spot. The sticking point is that Payton calls plays, so how much would that actually advance Webb\u2019s career?<\/p>\n There are even some in Denver calling for Payton, one of the game\u2019s best play callers, to give up that responsibility in order to keep Webb<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dart would love having his former Ole Miss play caller in that role for the Giants.<\/p>\n
