The Patriots will face the Giants in a “Monday Night Football” showdown, and for New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, this game could be a chance to showcase his skills for the head coaching position in New York.
New York parted ways with head coach Brian Daboll on November 10, beginning a search for his replacement in the offseason. McDaniels could be a viable candidate for the Giants, as he could meet all of the criteria they are looking for in a new head coach.
McDaniels’ season has been influential in the development of second-year quarterback Drake Mays into one of the NFL’s top players.
Meanwhile, the Giants have a promising rookie quarterback in Jackson Dart. They see the potential in what McDaniels is achieving with May and are hoping to replicate that success with Dart.
However, one factor that may hinder McDaniels from securing the Giants’ head coaching job is his prior experience as a head coach with the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders. Both teams dropped him before he could complete his second full season.

McDaniels’ shortcomings as a head coach may be behind him. If the Giants see great performance from Mays, they may be convinced that McDaniels is the right man to turn Dart and the rest of New York into a legitimate contender. There’s a chance McDaniels can showcase his skills on Monday and will likely be on the Giants’ radar in the winter.
