Giants’ DC Patrick Graham says he “could care less” about head-coaching buzz

New York Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham did his best on Thursday to quell recent reports that Graham is again drawing buzz around the NFL as a potential head-coaching candidate.

Asked about a pair of recent reports that he could be a hot candidate for eventual openings at the end of the season, Graham first responded with humor, saying, the “Pat Graham get fired buzz was started, too.”

After last season, when Graham engineered a defensive turnaround that saw the Giants finish in the top 10 in the NFL in points against, Graham turned down an opportunity to interview for the New York Jets vacancy that was eventually filled by Robert Saleh.
