Giants have dinner with Kevin Stefanski ahead of head coach interview
NY Post
Kevin Stefanski dined but didn’t dash.
One day after he was fired by the Browns, the Giants had dinner Tuesday night with Stefanski to kick off their head coach search, a source told The Post’s Paul Schwartz. Stefanski then was in the Giants building on Wednesday afternoon as the first official interview for the vacancy.
If schedules permit, it’s typical for the Giants to schedule a get-to-know-you dinner with a candidate for a high-profile job or a marquee free agent the day before getting down to business in a formal setting.
Ownership is expected to be part of today’s meetings.
Even if Stefanski knocks it out of the park, the Giants can’t hire him today.
The Rooney Rule requires that the Giants conduct two in-person interviews with external minority candidates before making a hire. So, neither the in-person interview scheduled with interim head coach Mike Kafka (Puerto Rican descent) nor the Zoom interview scheduled with Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph counts toward the requirement.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
