ESPN's Dan Orlovsky stuns fans with his pick for next Giants HC

The New York Giants will soon begin searching for a new head coach after they fired Brian Daboll on Monday, and you will probably never guess who longtime ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky thinks the replacement should be.

Orlovsky spoke about the Giants' head coach situation during Monday's edition of "NFL Live" from Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The former NFL quarterback was asked which candidates New York should keep an eye on, and he said his top choice would be Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski.

"The number one name that I would pay attention to if I was the Giants is what happens in Cleveland with Kevin Stefanski. If I could hand-pick a guy, it would be Stefanski," Orlovsky said. "He's an outstanding coach, a two-time Coach of the Year. I understand people in Cleveland are like, 'This guy can't coach.' There's a lot of empirical data that would say otherwise."

Orlovsky noted that the Giants have historically thrived under hard-nosed coaches like Bill Parcells and Tom Coughlin, and most people would not compare Stefanski's style to the aforementioned Super Bowl champions. Still, Orlovsky says Stefanski would be No. 1 on his list.

"I would go Kevin Stefanski. I would go Jesse Minter, the defensive coordinator of the Chargers. I would entertain Jon Gruden and maybe Matt Nagy, but I would pay attention to see what's going on in Cleveland," Orlovsky said.
