The New York Giants have reportedly requested permission to interview a second Indianapolis Colts coach, and a second former Giants backup quarterback, for their vacant offensive coordinator position.
The Giants have requested permission to interview Colts’ passing game coordinator Alex Tanney. That news came on the heels of a report that the Giants had also requested permission to interview Colts’ offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter for their vacancy.
The Giants have also requested permission to interview Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach and two-time Giants backup quarterback Davis Webb for their offensive coordinator job.
Tanney played in only two games and threw just 15 passes in an NFL career that began in 2012 and ended in 2020. Tanney spent 2018-2020 with the Giants, and then retired to go into coaching.
Tanney joined the Philadelphia Eagles’ coaching staff in 2021 as an offensive quality control coach. He stayed with the Eagles through the 2023 season, advancing to become the team’s quarterbacks coach. He spent the last two seasons as passing game coordinator for the Colts.
