The New York Giants are scheduled to interview <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/mike-mccarthy-131101/">Mike McCarthy</a> on Tuesday for their head coaching job, according to <a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/2008885533347635408?s=20">Tom Pelissero of NFL Network</a>. McCarthy will interview with New York and is expected to be sought after elsewhere during this hiring cycle. 



The 62-year-old McCarthy took a year off this season after his firing as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys after the 2024 season. McCarthy spent five seasons in Dallas, leading the team to a 49-35 record, three playoff appearances and a pair of NFC East titles. 



Before Dallas, McCarthy’s first head coaching gig came with the Green Bay Packers. McCarthy was highly successful in Green Bay, going 125-77-2 and earning a playoff spot in nine of his 13 seasons at the helm. McCarthy led the Packers to a Super Bowl XLV win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. 



While in Green Bay, McCarthy helped aid in the development of four-time MVP quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/aaron-rodgers-729/">Aaron Rodgers</a>. In Dallas, <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/dak-prescott-28005/">Dak Prescott</a> had his best <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/category/nfl/news/">NFL</a> season under McCarthy in 2023. That season, he finished second in MVP voting.

The Giants have a young quarterback in need of development. That would be <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/jaxson-dart-58358/">Jaxson Dart</a>, New York’s 2025 first-round selection out of <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/ole-miss-rebels/">Ole Miss</a>. Dart didn’t begin the 2025 season as New York’s starter; <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/russell-wilson-102829/">Russell Wilson</a> did. Then-head coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/brian-daboll-133199/">Brian Daboll</a> inserted Dart into the starting lineup in Week 4 after the Giants got off to an 0-3 start. Dart started hot, leading New York to wins over the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles.



But until New York’s 34-10 Week 17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, Dart had gone winless in his previous seven starts. During that time, Daboll was fired. Offensive coordinator <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/mike-kafka-138687/">Mike Kafka</a> was named interim head coach. Dart, meanwhile, missed two games with a concussion. He’s been evaluated for concussions at least five times throughout his rookie season. In 14 games (12 starts), Dart threw for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions on 63.7% passing. He also rushed for nine scores.



In addition to McCarthy, general manager Joe Schoen has lined up interviews with <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/lou-anarumo-133071/">Lou Anarumo</a> (Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator), <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/vance-joseph-131437/">Vance Joseph</a> (Denver Broncos defensive coordinator), <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/kevin-stefanski-135184/">Kevin Stefanski</a> (former Cleveland Browns head coach), <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/kliff-kingsbury-131878/">Kliff Kingsbury</a> (former Washington Commanders offensive coordinator), <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/coach/klint-kubiak-131830/">Klint Kubiak</a> (Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator) and Kafka. <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/john-harbaugh-133257/">John Harbaugh</a> is expected to get an interview after being fired Tuesday as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
