The New York Giants do not have a new permanent head coach announced yet; they are still in an active coaching search as of mid‑January 2026, with an interim setup in place and multiple candidates being interviewed.

Current situation

The Giants fired Brian Daboll during the 2025 season and finished the year with an interim arrangement while ownership and general manager Joe Schoen began a full head‑coach search. The team has publicly committed to keeping Schoen and having him lead the process of hiring the next coach rather than rushing a decision.

Where the search stands

Reports this week describe the Giants as “in search of a new head coach,” not as having made a hire, and outline a list of candidates rather than a final choice. Coverage notes that the organization has already lined up and conducted several interviews and that more are scheduled in the coming days.

Names to know

Several outlets and analysts have mentioned:

  • Experienced defensive coaches such as Brian Flores, Vance Joseph, and Steve Spagnuolo as serious possibilities.
  • Offensive‑minded options and sitting or former head coaches like Kevin Stefanski and Mike McCarthy being linked to the opening.
  • High‑profile candidates such as John Harbaugh being discussed as potential favorites if mutual interest and timing line up.

These are candidates and rumors, not confirmed hires.

What this means right now

For now, any specific name as “the new Giants head coach” would be speculation until the team makes an official announcement through its own channels or major league news outlets. If following this closely, it is worth checking the Giants’ official site or league news later this month, since reports suggest the team hopes to finalize and introduce its new coach relatively soon.
