After less than four seasons, the New York Giants made the decision to move on from head coach Brian Daboll . Now, one of the premier jobs in the NFL is open and expected to draw a lot of interest. It’s also expected to be a job that hires an experienced head coach to lead the franchise moving forward.

It’s still extremely early, but ESPN analysts on Get Up already looked at a few potential hires they’d be excited about. That included Dan Orlovsky , who brought up a couple of options. The first was sitting head coach Kevin Stefanski . The other was more interesting, defending national champion and Ohio State head coach Ryan Day .

“I’ll give you two names,” Orlovsky said. “These are names that I would like for the Giants. Realistic or not, I don’t know that. One would be Kevin Stefanski if they move on in Cleveland. A second name. I’m not saying this to be — I would love Ryan Day there.”

Day does have some NFL experience, too. In 2015 and 2016, he was a quarterbacks coach with the Philadelphia Eagles and then the San Francisco 49ers. However, he’s been at Ohio State since leaving the NFL. That includes being the Buckeyes’ head coach since 2019. In his time leading the program, he’s 79-10 overall and won the national championship just one season ago.

“I think Ryan Day would be a phenomenal head coach… I just think he’s a great coach,” Orlovsky concluded.
