If the Giants want to, they can close things out with Steve Wilks today. Giants chairman Steve Tisch will sit on on Tuesday’s interview with the head coaching candidate, sources tell Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter).
Garafolo cautions that Wilks is not necessarily the favorite for the job. This is also his first interview, so he’ll have to really blow the Giants away in order to secure the job. Then again, the Giants know that they’ll risk losing Wilks if they allow him to continue his tour. The Cardinals, Lions, and Colts all plan on speaking with Wilks in the coming days, as shown on PFR’s Head Coaching Search Tracker.
In addition to Wilks, the G-Men are also considering Josh McDaniels, Matt Patricia, Jim Schwartz (though his interview has been put on hold), Pat Shurmur, Steve Spagnuolo, and Eric Studesville.
Could be a sleeper hit as a head coach. I know everyone is screaming “Rooney Rule interview!” but, he has a somewhat John Harbaugh type resumé prior to his hire by Baltimore. I’d like the hire if NYG goes that route.
