Now that the New York Giants have moved on from fourth year head coach Brian Daboll, it’s worth taking a look at which candidates could be next up in The Meadowlands. 

GM Joe Schoen will lead the search now that the regular season is in the books. With that in mind, the team at Bookies.com compiled some hypothetical odds on potential replacements for the man that went 20-40-1 (.336) with the club, with a host of NFL assistants and former head coaches atop our list.

This hypothetical NFL betting market is for entertainment purposes only and does not reflect any market that may be available on betting sites and betting apps.

John Harbaugh (Former Baltimore Ravens head coach): +350 

Perhaps the most surprising head coach to lose his job this week has been Super Bowl winner John Harbaugh, whose 18-year stint with the Baltimore Ravens ended abruptly on Tuesday afternoon. During his 18 season run in the Charm City, Harbaugh won 180 games and went 13-11 in the postseason with a title in Super Bowl XLVII, leaving him as a sought after candidate now that he’s a coaching free agent.  

While we don’t know if Harbaugh wants to jump back into the pool after the end of his time with Baltimore, we do know that he’s a solid candidate for any NFL openings, which is why we’re giving him top odds (at +350) to replace Daboll in New York this offseason.  

Kevin Stefanski (Former Browns coach): +600

Stefanski was given the pink slip after Week 18 in Cleveland, but unlike many former Browns head coaches, he will be of significant interest for other teams. Stefanski twice won Coach of the Year in Cleveland, and when he had capable quarterback play, he was a more than capable head coach.

As the Deshaun Watson/Shedeur Sanders/Dillon Gabriel mess unfolded, Stefanski's stock in Cleveland sank with it. But he is a well-regarded coach in owners circles and could be just the man to mentor Jaxson Dart. We like Stefanski as the second favorite here, but per The Athletic's Ian O'Connor before the Ravens news came down, Harbaugh "would hurdle Stefanski if he's free."

Mike McCarthy (Former Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers head coach): +600 

The former Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers has been out of coaching this year after getting fired by the Dallas Cowboys, who he coached to a 49-35 (.583) record between 2020 and 2024.  

McCarthy’s all-time record as an NFL head coach is equally impressive, going 174-112-2 (.608) with Green Bay and Dallas over the course of 18 seasons, which could net him a third crack at a head coaching role before long.  

Given his success in Dallas and Green Bay, we’re giving the 62-year-old Pennsylvania native has strong odds of replacing Daboll, checking in at +600 and ranking ahead of a host of up-and-coming coordinators.  

Klint Kubiak (Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator): +1000 

The son of former NFL quarterback and head coach Gary Kubiak has made his way up the coaching ranks from being a graduate assistant at Texas A&M to being the Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator in a mere decade-and-a-half, potentially lining the 38-year-old up for his first NFL head coaching role.  

The second-year NFL offensive coordinator cut his teeth with a host of NCAA and NFL teams, entering the league under his father’s watch with the Denver Broncos from 2016 to 2018, before moving on to his first go-round as an offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings in 2021.  

From there, Kubiak’s served as the Broncos passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach (in 2022) and as the San Francisco 49ers passing game coordinator the following season, before taking the OC gig with the Saints and doing the same in the Emerald City this season.  

The results of his third crack at being an OC in the NFL have gone well so far, with Seattle ranking second leaguewide in scoring, at 29.8, while posting the ninth most yards per game leaguewide.  

Those strong results have Kubiak in line to land his first head coaching job this cycle, with +1000 odds of replacing Daboll in New York once the season wraps up.  

Joe Brady (Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator): +1000 

Brady’s five-year run in the NFL as an OC with the Carolina Panthers and Bills has seen him oversee three top 10 offenses when it came to yards and points per game, with this year’s Buffalo team ranking fifth and sixth overall by those metrics.  

Throw in his work as the pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach with the 15-0 CFP championship winning LSU Tigers in 2019 and you have a decent snapshot of the type of work that Brady’s put in, both on the NCAA and NFL level, potentially helping him land his first head coaching role in 2026.  

Who Else Could Get Giants Job?  

Most of our other Giants longshot candidates are fellow NFL offensive or defensive coordinators, including Minnesota Vikings DC (and former Miami Dolphins head coach) Brian Flores and Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph at +1500 apiece, while former Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and Kansas City Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo round out the list, at +2000 apiece.  

For now, what we know is that the Giants are among the list of NFL teams in need of a new head coach, with Daboll’s time in The Meadowlands coming to a close and somebody else being tasked with getting the club over the hump come 2026.
