The first major shoe has dropped in the NFL coaching carousel to come.
It’s a move many thought was on the horizon after hearing the post-game comments from head coach Joe Judge, wherein Judge lambasted the Giants coaching staff as a whole and refused to comment on the future of Garrett.
But despite the failures Garrett has experienced, his name will instantly be mentioned as a top candidate for vacancies around the league in 2022, and that includes the Las Vegas Raiders — as one example.
He then went on to become head coach of the Browns, albeit to disastrous results, before joining the Giants as tight ends coach in 2020 — the same year Garrett rejoined the organization as a part of Judge’s incoming staff.
It’s something the Giants will need to figure out expeditiously, considering there are still seven games remaining in the regular season, assuming they aren’t waving the white flag on the season.
As noted above, there is already one NFL team looking for a permanent head coach and Rich Bissacia, the current interim who spent several seasons under Garrett in Dallas, has seen his luster wear off fairly quickly.
