Report: Giants' coaching search down to McDaniels, Patricia, Shurmur

The New York Giants have narrowed their coaching search to three men, as a source told Paul Schwartz of the New York Post that the team will pick between Josh McDaniels, Matt Patricia, and Pat Shurmur.

McDaniels, the New England Patriots offensive coordinator, has been mentioned for the Indianapolis Colts' head coaching job, while his Patriots colleague Patricia is considered in the running for the Detroit Lions gig. Shurmur, the Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator, is an option for the Arizona Cardinals' head coaching position as well.

Both McDaniels and Shurmur have head coaching experience, while Patricia has yet to serve in that capacity at any level. McDaniels was the Denver Broncos' frontman during the 2009 and 2010 seasons, posting an 11-17 overall record before being fired, while Shurmur coached the Cleveland Browns for the 2011 and 2012 campaigns, finishing with a 9-23 mark.

All three coaches are still in the NFL playoffs meaning the Giants can't officially hire any of them until their team is eliminated, but can reach an unofficial agreement in the meantime.

The Giants fired Ben McAdoo after the team began the 2017 season 2-10 after he went 11-5 in his debut campaign.
