EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale still expressed a desire to return to the New York Giants next season, even after details of tension between him and head coach Brian Daboll emerged in recent weeks.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported prior to the team's 10-7 win over the New England Patriots on Nov. 26 that the tension between the two is palpable to those in the building and it wouldn't be surprising if they eventually parted ways. Glazer even suggested it could happen during the season.

Daboll downplayed any potential rift between the two coaches in the days after that game.
