After the New York Giants decided to move in a new direction with head coach Brian Daboll, what will become of some of the last coaching staff?
The New York Post’s Ryan Dunleavy reports that linebackers coach Kevin Sherrer is not expected back, and running backs coach Burton Burns is expected to retire.
Adding to those two, tight ends coach Derek Dooley’s contract is expired, defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson could get a look for defensive coordinator, and New York was also apparently interested in keeping quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski on board before hiring Shea Tierney.
After Patrick Graham left for Las Vegas, the Giants have now turned their attention to their defensive coordinator vacancy.
Some updates I’ve heard over last few days on last #Giants coaching staff.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, and the New York Post’s Paul Schwartz, the Giants are also taking a look at candidates such as former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator, Don “Wink” Martindale, former Chicago Bears defensive coordinator, Sean Desai, Tennessee Titans senior defensive assistant, Jim Schwartz, and Pittsburgh Steelers senior defensive assistant and secondary coach, Teryl Austin.
