The entire Giants front office is at DEFCON 1 as the search for a new head coach keeps moving forward. The pursuit of John Harbaugh is hot and heavy. Mike McCarthy was in on Tuesday for an interview. Kevin Stefanski was in the building last week. There have been several other meetings with candidates, either in person or virtual.

This is a franchise that fired Brian Daboll on Nov. 10, and ever since that day, looking ahead and trying to figure out who would be next in line has occupied the hearts and minds of team ownership, executives and fans.

And also the players, whether under contract or not.
