Giants want to interview Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn for head coach job

The Giants don’t have a general manager yet but they are taking their first steps toward finding a head coach.

On Wednesday they requested permission to interview Dallas defensive coordinator and former Falcons head coach Dan Quinn. That interview won’t take place until after the new general manager has been hired but the request indicates that Quinn is on the short list for all of the finalists for GM.

Quinn is likely the only such candidate for the Giants who is not currently on a playoff team (meaning they are unable to accept any jobs until they are eliminated) or unattached to another team (such as the recently fired Brian Flores).
