It appears that Kliff Kingsbury might be a legitimate candidate to become New York Giants’ offensive coordinator after all.
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN is reporting that Kingsbury and former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan have been “involved in [the] Giants’ initial OC search.”
Fowler reported that interviews held to this point have been virtual, and that the expectation is that in-person interviews with finalists could be held at some point this week.
Earlier on Sunday, I wrote that Kingsbury’s name had been speculated about, but that no substantial evidence the former Arizona Cardinals head coach and Washington Commanders offensive coordinator was a serious candidate had surfaced. Fowler’s reporting changes that.
Callahan, 41, was head coach of the Tennessee Titans in 2024 and for six games in 2025 before being fired. He was 4-19 overall as Tennessee head coach. Prior to that, Callahan had been offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals from 2019-2023.
Callahan has also worked as an assistant coach for the Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, and Detroit Lions.
An interesting detail provided by Bob Brookover of NJ.com is that in 18 seasons as a head coach Harbaugh has never hired a first-time offensive play-caller.
Callahan coming to the Giants would provide an interesting juxtaposition. Former Giants’ head coach Brian Daboll is now Tennessee’s offensive coordinator.
