New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka spoke about why the New Orleans Saints aren't necessarily an undesirable landing spot for a potential head coach.

Kafka is a finalist for the Saints head coaching job, having met with them in New Orleans for an in-person second interview. The Saints, after speaking with Kafka, flew to Philadelphia to meet with Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and it appears Moore could be the favorite.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said he hopes that assisted head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka doesn't get hired away by another NFL team this offseason. Kafka is one of six candidates being considered for the New Orleans Saints head coaching vacancy.

There is "strong sentiment" for the New York Giants to make a major change regarding offensive coordinator Mike Kafka.

Kafka completed an in-person interview with the Saints last Saturday, his second with the team. Soon after that, he left to begin his duties coaching the National team in the Senior Bowl this week.

The troubling downturn for the Giants and their offense the past two years seemingly has not touched or damaged Mike Kafka’s reputation.

Kafka was the Giants play-caller in the 2022 season and the Giants ended up getting their first postseason win since 2011. After that, Kafka had interviews with the Panthers, Texans, Colts and Cardinals for their open head coach spots. He got second interview opportunities with Houston and Arizona in that coaching cycle.

Based on the Rooney Rule’s language, if the Giants lose one of these two men (Brown or Kafka), they would get a compensatory third-round draft pick in both 2025 and 2026. If the Giants lose both, they would get an extra such comp pick in 2027 — but not a fourth such comp pick in 2028.

The Giants finished 30th overall (294.8 yards/game), 23rd in rushing (104.9 yards/game), and 28th in passing (189.9 yards/game), with head coach Brian Daboll calling the plays during the team’s 3-14 season.
