A year ago, the Cowboys parted ways with Jason Garrett. This year, the Giants are concerned about losing it.
Garrett, the Giants’ offensive coordinator, will interview the Chargers for his place as head coach on Friday.
The Giants prevented defensive coordinator Patrick Graham from interviewing potential job openings with a contract extension. The team, however, did not offer Garrett a new deal or a raise to return in 2021, Tom Rock’s Newsday reports.
Still, general manager Dave Gettleman said the Giants were “impatient” at the prospect of losing Garrett.
While the Giants finished 31st in yards and 31st in points this season, they want defender Daniel Jones to have the same offensive system for the second consecutive year, after two coordinators in his first two years.
“There always needs to be adjustments year on year,” said Joe Judge this week, via Rock. “The league is always evolving. You are always trying to find more creative ways of doing things. For any player on the team, especially the defender, it is important to have a solid foundation. But they also need to evolve in their careers as we progress along the way. You cannot be afraid of changes or adjustments in your own systems or schemes, adding different types of moves, finding different ways to be creative in your own people. “
