Two next Giants candidates are part of Andy Reid coaching tree

Error 0:

The Andy Reid coaching tree is so big that the Giants are interviewing two ends of it on the same day in their search to replace yet another member of the connection.

Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is a direct disciple of Reid, whereas Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale comes off a second-degree branch. Martindale works under coach Jim Harbaugh, who, like the fired Pat Shurmur, stuck around nearly a decade from Reid’s inaugural 1999 Eagles coaching staff.

Bieniemy, 50, and Martindale, 56, will become Saturday the third and fourth candidates to meet with Giants, following Cowboys assistant Kris Richard and former Packers coach Mike McCarthy.
