After generating interest as a potential head coach for the second consecutive offseason, Mike Kafka has been promoted to assistant head coach of the New York Giants by Coach Brian Daboll. Kafka will continue to serve as offensive coordinator while taking on additional responsibilities. Despite rumors that he was considering leaving East Rutherford, both Kafka and Daboll denied those claims.
Kafka’s expanded role with the team is uncertain, and there are rumors that Daboll may take over play-calling duties himself. However, Kafka is eager to learn and grow under Daboll’s guidance and sees his involvement in the interview process for hiring support staff as an opportunity to continue growing and learning from him.
As the offseason progresses and the regular season approaches, Kafka expects his role to evolve even further. Despite this uncertainty, he is expected to be a top candidate for head coaching positions in 2025 due to his dedication to learning and growing within the Giants organization.
