Mandatory Credit: Robert Deutsch-Imagn Images Former Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce and franchise nemesis Mike McCarthy are among candidates on New York's interview list as the franchise searches for a new head coach, according to reports.
Pierce was head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders for parts of two seasons and went 9-17. He played linebacker for the Giants from 2005-09.
McCarthy, the former Cowboys and Packers coach, is expected to be a candidate for multiple openings. He was not retained at the end of the 2024 season by Dallas, which promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to fill the opening.
Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and Giants interim coach Mike Kafka are also expected to be candidates for the Giants' job, ESPN reported.
Kafka is 1-5 since being named interim head coach following the firing of Brian Daboll. Daboll was 20-40-1 and was dismissed after a 2-8 start to the 2025 season.
Joe Judge was the team's coach from 2020-21 and went 10-23 and before that Pat Shurmur had a 9-23 record from 2018-19.
