New York Giants assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka is again a hot commodity on the coaching carousel. He has already completed interviews with the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears, and more could be on the horizon.
However, one thing there won’t be is an offensive coordinator interview.
Last offseason, the Giants blocked Kafka from interviewing with the Seattle Seahawks for their OC position and eventually gave him the title of assistant head coach to prevent a lateral move — something Kafka was reportedly open to.
With one year remaining on his current contract, the Giants apparently intend to keep him in the building short of a promotion elsewhere.
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the Giants are expected to block Kafka from offensive coordinator interviews once again should any be requested.
The #Giants blocked the #Seahawks‘ request to interview Mike Kafka last year. I’m expecting the same this time around, so he likely won’t be in the mix there. https://t.co/jVyRoCeuSl

Despite having his play-calling duties stripped in 2024, Kafka has remained professional and said all the right things.
“I love being here and I love working for Dabes and everybody,” Kafka said before a Week 18 game in Philadelphia.
With head coach Brian Daboll weighing his options as a play-caller and potentially giving them up, Kafka could have those duties restored in 2025 should he remain with the team.
