NY Giants: 6 possible replacements for offensive coordinator Jason Garrett in 2021

Duce Staley

Philadelphia Eagles running game coordinator

It has been apparent for the past several years that Staley has head coaching aspirations.

However, it seems increasingly unlikely that Staley will ever garner legitimate head coaching interest before he is given the opportunity to be a full-time playcaller. That will never happen so long as Doug Pederson is the Eagles’ head coach, which seems tenuous at best at this stage, but regardless of whether Pederson stays or goes, Staley likely needs to go elsewhere to be given the opportunity to run his own offense.

Staley’s background and ability to oversee a running game that has ranked 11th, 28th, and 3rd dating back to 2017 might be tailor made for the Giants’ organizational philosophy that the foundation of a successful offense is a dominant running game. Additionally, Staley would bring a wealth of knowledge of a division rival to East Rutherford.
