After less than four seasons, the New York Giants made the decision to move on from head coach Brian Daboll<\/a>. Now, one of the premier jobs in the NFL is open and expected to draw a lot of interest. It\u2019s also expected to be a job that hires an experienced head coach to lead the franchise moving forward.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still extremely early, but ESPN analysts on Get Up already looked at a few potential hires they\u2019d be excited about. That included Dan Orlovsky<\/a>, who brought up a couple of options. The first was sitting head coach Kevin Stefanski<\/a>. The other was more interesting, defending national champion and Ohio State<\/a> head coach Ryan Day<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll give you two names,\u201d Orlovsky said. \u201cThese are names that I would like for the Giants. Realistic or not, I don\u2019t know that. One would be Kevin Stefanski if they move on in Cleveland. A second name. I\u2019m not saying this to be \u2014 I would love Ryan Day there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Day does have some NFL experience, too. In 2015 and 2016, he was a quarterbacks coach with the Philadelphia Eagles and then the San Francisco 49ers. However, he\u2019s been at Ohio State since leaving the NFL. That includes being the Buckeyes\u2019 head coach since 2019. In his time leading the program, he\u2019s 79-10 overall and won the national championship just one season ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Ryan Day would be a phenomenal head coach\u2026 I just think he\u2019s a great coach,\u201d Orlovsky concluded.<\/p>\n

The question is, of course, whether or not Day would be interested in leaving Ohio State. Certainly, the Ohio State job is among the best in all of college football and not one that anybody would expect him to leave for a different job in college. However, the NFL can be a different animal for coaches who want to find a new challenge.<\/p>\n

In the case of the New York Giants job, it comes as one of the best traditional jobs in the sport. The team also just drafted what it hopes to have as a franchise quarterback moving forward in Jaxson Dart. So, there\u2019s plenty of reason to think it\u2019ll be a job many coaches are excited about. At the same time, wins have been hard to come by lately for New York. Since 2017, they\u2019ve had just one winning season.<\/p>\n

Day is far from the first college head coach to be suggested for the Giants\u2019 job. Robert Griffin III immediately put forward<\/a> Ole Miss<\/a> head coach Lane Kiffin<\/a>. Then, there\u2019s also been speculation about<\/a> North Carolina<\/a> head coach Bill Belichick<\/a>, who was previously the New York defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After less than four seasons, the New York Giants made the decision to move on from head coach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[350,399,398,396,397,127030,99],"class_list":["post-290906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-dan-orlovsky","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-ryan-day-97-manchester-central","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
