New York Giants head coach Brian Dabol assembled a coaching staff that quickly earned the respect and admiration of the rest of the league. But he did make an important announcement regarding a critical employee situation in their playoff matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles.
to Ryan Dunleavy new york postDabol announced Monday that offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will not do any head coaching interviews for other teams this coming week. Kafka is considered a top candidate for many jobs and is eligible to interview with the teams this week.
Under Kafka, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is having the best season of his young career. After averaging less than 17 points the previous two seasons, the Giants improved to 21 points per game in 2022 under Kafka.
Giants fans are relieved that Kafka won’t be distracted from his biggest game in more than a decade for any interviews. Fans of other potential teams hope the guy disappoints a bit more:
At 35, Mike Kafka is one of the fastest rising coaches in the NFL. Prior to joining the Giants, he spent five years as the Kansas City Chiefs’ top assistant, four years as the Chiefs’ quarterbacks coach and two as their passing game coordinator.
While Daniel Jones is no Patrick Mahomes, his game is very similar to Josh Allen and both Kafka and Dabol managed to get the best out of this former No. 6 last year.
If the Giants upset the Eagles this weekend, Dabol may be tempted to skip Kafka’s interviews next week as well.
Will Mike Kafka Earn The Head Coaching Job This Year?
