Giants news, 1/18: Kafka gets head coaching job, Brian Daboll, Larry Izzo, more headlines

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

New York Giants OC Mike Kafka a head coach for East-West Shrine Bowl

It may not be the head coaching job of his dreams, but New York Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will get some additional exposure as head coach of the West squad in the East-West Shrine Bowl.

The Shrine Bowl made that announcement on Wednesday.

Kafka, who was the Shrine Game MVP in 2010, has been Giants’ offensive coordinator for the past two seasons. The 36-year-old is regarded as a rising star in NFL coaching circles and has already interviewed with the Tennessee Titans for their vacancy, and will interview later this week as a potential replacement for Pete Carroll with the Seattle Seahawks.
