The New York Giants continue their quest to upgrade their coaching staff under new head coach Joe Judge. The offensive staff is still in flux with no coordinator in place and the Giants are still interviewing candidates.
So far they have not made any formal announcements of any hirings to the staff. They will do that when the hirings have been completed. Thus far, they’ve re-hired wide receivers coach Tyke Tolbert and have brought in a new quarterbacks coach, Jerry Schuplinski.
They interviewed former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett for the OC role but they are still seeking to interview more candidates it seems. Veteran NFL reporter Chris Mortensen reports that the Giants will speak with former Dallas OC Scott Linehan this week.
Former @dallascowboys OC Scott Linehan has resurfaced as a candidate to interview for the staffs of the @Panthers, the @Giants and the Jaguars. He has scheduled interviews with each this weekend, per sources.

What role Linehan will be interviewed for is unclear. He’s been an offensive coordinator in college (Idoho, Washington, Louisville) and in the NFL (Dallas, Minnesota, Miami, Detroit) as well as a head coach (St. Louis Rams, 2006-2008).
Scott Linehan’s dot-connection to Joe Judge: Linehan was OC for Nick Saban for a season with the Dolphins … and Jason Garrett was QB coach. Garrett brought Linehan to Dallas in 2014. https://t.co/vdYNKtoeOe
