ESPN’s Peter Schrager reports the Giants will interview Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter for their OC role under new HC John Harbaugh.
Former Ravens OC Todd Monken was the favorite for the job since the Giants hired Harbaugh before he was hired as the Browns’ HC. Cooter also interviewed with the Eagles for their OC vacancy.
Here’s a list of candidates for the Giants’ OC opening:
Ravens OC Todd Monken (Browns)- Ravens assistant HC/RB coach Willie Taggart (Requested)
- Dolphins WR coach Robert Prince (Requested)
- Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter (Scheduled)
Cooter, 41, began his NFL coaching career with the Colts back in 2009 as an offensive assistant. He had brief stints with the Chiefs and Broncos before the Lions hired him as their QBs coach in 2014.
Detroit promoted Cooter to offensive coordinator during the 2015 season and he remained in the role until becoming the Jets’ running backs coach in 2019. He parted ways with New York in 2020 and eventually took the passing game coordinator role with the Jaguars.
Cooter was then hired as the offensive coordinator of the Colts back in 2023, marking his second stint with the team.
In 2025, the Colts’ offense ranked No. 9 in total yards, No. 8 in points scored, No. 9 in rushing yards, and No. 20 in passing yards with Cooter as their offensive coordinator.
