The New York Giants have officially requested permission to interview Indianapolis Colts passing game coordinator Alex Tanney for their vacant offensive coordinator position, according to a report from @AdamSchefter. The request marks a potential homecoming for the former quarterback as the Giants look to solidify their coaching staff.
Tanney, 36, is a familiar name for the Giants organization and its fan base. He spent three seasons in New York as a backup quarterback from 2018 to 2020. Known for his longevity as a player and his transition into the coaching ranks, Tanney has quickly ascended the professional ladder since retiring from the field. He most recently served as the passing game coordinator for the Colts, where he was tasked with overseeing the development of their air attack.
The Giants are searching for a new offensive lead to work under head coach Brian Daboll. Tanney's prior experience within the Giants facility and his recent experience in Indianapolis make him a primary candidate for the role. No interview date has been officially set, but the request indicates the Giants are moving quickly to fill the vacancy.
