The head coaching candidate the Giants did not want to leave their building without the job on Tuesday never even made it in the door.
Matt Rhule, who has been atop the Giants’ list throughout the search to replace Pat Shurmur, reportedly is finalizing a deal to become the next head coach of the Carolina Panthers. Yahoo! Sports was first to report the agreement.
Rhule met with Panthers owner David Tepper at the now former Baylor coach’s home in Waco, Texas, on Monday and was scheduled to fly to New Jersey to meet with the Giants on Tuesday.
