While the New York Giants wait for Baylor head coach and program head, Matt Rhule, to return from a well-deserved trip to Mexico, they will continue their search for a head coach.
With former Green Bay Packers’ HC Mike McCarthy emerging as a solid option after a reinvigorating video emerged, the Giants have several impressive options to choose from, however, there are a few other teams in the market for a head coach. Both the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns are searching, and they’re all expected to take a long, hard look at the options available.
Rhule rejected an invitation to interview for the Browns’ vacant spot, likely due to the clattering mess the organization conjured up in 2019, let alone the last decade. He is reportedly interested in the Giants’ position, though, as one report notes it would be his “dream job.”
What personality fits the New York Giants?
General manager Dave Gettleman made it apparent that ownership is looking for a disciplined head coach that can lead their players into battle. A fiery coach with an outgoing personality would fit the bill, which is exactly what Rhule brings to the table, take a look at the speech he gives in this video.

The Baylor coach harps on toughness, whether it’s mental or physical. The importance of staying in the game and not giving up no matter the score or situation is important, as it contributes towards prolonged success. The Giants saw players lack essential effort during games once the season was lost.
Most humans would agree that consistent losing is catastrophic to one’s spirit, but the will to fight on and give 100% is what separates good from the bad. Rhule seems to be the ideal coaching fit for a Big Blue team that’s young and still working out their college kinks. His impressive pedigree is something the Giants will evaluate, but it’s his intangibles that make him such a great option.
