Whether NFL owners and GMs are smart enough to recognize that is the question
ew York Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale wants to be a head coach. He was clear when the Giants hired him that one of the reasons he came to New York was that he thought it would help him on that path.
The Giants interviewed Martindale a couple of years ago when Joe Judge got the head coaching job. He will interview eventually with the Indianapolis Colts for their head coaching vacancy, probably whenever the Giants are done playing.
