All of Jon Gruden To Lane KiffinNames were discussed after the Giants were fired Brian Daboll …but the former G-Men are running back Rashad Jennings is eyeing another potential head coach with ties to the team – Steve Spagnolo!
“Of all the coaches that have coached, I wouldn't be surprised if they ask Spags to come back to lock down this defense and put him in charge of an offensive coordinator to take over the offense,” Jennings said. Babcockreferring to the Giants' former defensive coordinator (and briefly interim HC).
“But, you know, the sky's the limit for them guys,” Rashad added, alluding to the young talent on the Giants' roster, including Cam Tax Chamber …who is looking to return to the field next season after suffering a horrific ankle injury against the Eagles late last month.
In fact, Jennings could end up becoming Scat's coach.
“I'm not sure what [the Giants are] going to do, but I'll tell you what, – said the retired midfielder… – I'll put it out there for everyone to see. If anyone is looking for a good running coach,” RJ told us, throwing his name in the hat.
Rashad hasn't coached before, but says he's thought about it and thinks now is the right time.
“I thought about getting into coaching for a very long time. I was thinking about it now that I’m married, I have a child, I’m settled and I can stay in one place.”
“I tell everyone that I wasn’t the most skilled. So I'm grateful. I had to learn this art to truly be a great runner. Being a great runner and there are a lot of skills that I can give and teach,” Rashad said.
First things first, before the 2-8 Giants hire anyone – Spags or anyone else – they need to complete the run of games remaining on the schedule… and that will likely take a long couple of months.
