Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Chargers have requested permission to interview Giants OC Jason Garrett for their head-coaching vacancy.
The Chargers have now requested interviews with four coaching candidates:
- Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus (Requested)
- Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley (Requested)
- Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady (Requested)
- Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett (Requested)
Garrett, 54, began his NFL coaching career with the Dolphins back in 2005 as their quarterbacks coach. After two years in Miami, the Cowboys hired him as their offensive coordinator and he eventually worked his way up to head coach.
The Cowboys allowed Garrett’s contract to expire at the end of last season as opposed to firing him and he joined the Giants as their offensive coordinator.
Over the course of his 10 years in charge of the Cowboys, Garrett led the team to a record of 85-67 (55.3 percent), which includes three playoff appearances.
In 2020, the Giants’ offense ranked No. 31 in total yards, No. 31 in points scored, No. 19 in rushing yards and No. 29 in passing yards.
