The #Giants are expected to hire #Chiefs QB coach Mike Kafka as their offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Deal not done yet but that's the way it's headed.

Kafka has been with the Chiefs as an assistant coach since the 2017 season under Andy Reid. He was their offensive quality control coach in 2017 before moving up to quarterbacks coach in 2018. He was also made the passing game coordinator in 2020.
Before becoming an assistant coach in the NFL, Kafka was an backup quarterback. He was a fourth-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2010. He also had stints with the New England Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans and Cincinnati Bengals.
Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Pep Hamilton and Cleveland Browns wide receivers coach Chad O’Shea were the other two finalists for the offensive coordinator job.
