No McDaniels Interview ... Yet
This is older news, but worth repeating. McDaniels makes sense as a candidate, but also isn't interviewing with teams this week. He's instead choosing to focus on the team's game against the Chiefs next weekend. That could hurt McDaniels' job chances, but the Giants could also be willing to wait.
