The Giants have two new coordinators on coach Brian Daboll’s staff this season and it appeared they would make three changes at the start of the offseason.
Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka interviewed for the Seahawks head coaching job and Seattle wanted to talk to him a second time about becoming Mike Macdonald’s coordinator after they made the hire. There were those who thought Kafka was trying to move on after Daboll resumed offensive playing duties last season, but the Giants blocked the move and added an assistant coaching title to Kafka.
On Monday, Kafka said he was “excited to be here” when asked about his interest in making a lateral play and that “last year is last year” when it comes to calling plays. He said “we learned from this, we grew from this” and that they will figure out how things work in 2024.
“Yes, every year is different,” Kafka said, via a staff transcript. “You have to go through the evaluation process, and this year is no different. It’s the first day of the first phase, so there’s still a lot of time to go. we can do to improve every day.”
The Giants were coming off a playoff berth this time last year, but head into next season with a 6-11 record and a big question mark at quarterback with Daniel Jones coming off a torn ACL. The draft could bring a challenger to Jones or help elsewhere on a unit that will need serious improvements for the Giants to climb back up the standings.
