Giants Search for Offensive Coordinator After Monken's Departure
The New York Giants are actively searching for a new offensive coordinator following Todd Monken's decision to become head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Giants head coach John Harbaugh expressed surprise at Monken's departure, stating, 'I tried to talk him out of it.' The team has interviewed several candidates, including Jim Bob Cooter, Davis Webb, Shane Day, Charlie Weis Jr., Greg Roman, Jake Peetz, Justin Outten, Lunda Wells, Matt Nagy, and Alex Tanney. Harbaugh emphasizes the importance of finding a versatile coach who can adapt to the team's offensive strengths and develop quarterback Jaxson Dart. The Giants are prioritizing candidates with play-calling experience, though Harbaugh acknowledges the challenge of evaluating someone without it. The team has also filled key staff positions, including defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson and special teams coach Chris Horton, both of whom bring aggressive and high-standard coaching styles. The search continues as the Giants aim to build an offense that maximizes Dart's potential and fits Harbaugh's strategic vision.
