Giants interim head coach "loves coaching the New York Football Giants" despite a losing season and is appreciative of the privilege. Whether that leads to more opportunities to be a head coach is not what he's thinking about. The focus is on playing the Vikings this week and it would be "super selfish" of him to think of anything else. Looking back at the game against Washington, he complimented rookie Abdul Carter on his performance and was pleased with his other rookie, QB Jaxson Dart avoiding big hits by sliding out of harm's way.
