Jaxson Dart may have narrowed the New York Giants’ head coach search to two names.
The former Ole Miss quarterback attended the Fiesta Bowl between the Rebels and the Miami Hurricanes on Thursday. Dart received a warm welcome from the fans when he was shown on the screen. Late in the second quarter, he was seen talking to an Ole Miss assistant.
A Giants fan posted a video of the conversation on X. While Dart wasn’t audible, the fan did their best to understand what he was trying to say when asked who would be the next head coach.
“I don’t know.. Harbaugh or Stefanski.. but I don’t know,” Dart said as per the fan.
It’s no surprise that the Giants are in dire need of a new head coach and a new direction as a franchise.
The Giants fired Brian Daboll after a 2-8 start to the 2025 season. He was then replaced by Mike Kafka as their interim head coach. Kafka has been with the team since 2022, serving in various roles, including as assistant head coach.
After taking over from Daboll, Kafka went 2-5. He is determined to be the full-time head coach and even had an interview with the Giants for the permanent role.
But he’s not the only one interviewing for the job. The two names that Dart allegedly mentioned are also in the race for the position.
Who Will Be the Next Giants Head Coach?
The Giants had another terrible season, finishing 4-13 and at the bottom of the NFC East standings. Midway through the season, the Giants realized they needed to make some changes, which led to Daboll’s firing.
Other than Kafka, the Giants are also interviewing former Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo, Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, and former Cowboys and Packers head coach Mike McCarthy.
After the Ravens fired John Harbaugh, ending his 18-year run with the team, he has also become a prime candidate for the job. With a proven track record in Baltimore, Harbaugh is one of the frontrunners for the job.
