Mike Kafka is the only coordinator remaining from the New York Giants’ 2023 coaching staff, as both defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey were not retained.
Kafka interviewed for a couple of head-coaching vacancies during the offseason, and was denied an opportunity by the Giants to interview for a lateral opening as Seattle Seahawks’ offensive coordinator.
After a 2023 offseason where play-calling was taken from Kafka on a couple of occasions and an offseason filled with speculation about tension between Kafka and head coach Brian Daboll Kafka downplayed those concerns.
