Kris Richard. With the Cowboys season complete, the Giants are allowed to interview him right away.New York has requested permission to interview New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as well as Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. The Giants would need to wait until the Patriots are eliminated from the playoffs to interview McDaniels, however they are allowed to interview Bieniemy immediately since the Chiefs have a first round bye. No scheduled interview has been announced at this time.The other top candidate expected to garner serious interest from the Giants is Baylor head coach, Matt Rhule.
