\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
