Tiki’s Giants OC Wishlist, and the Jets Hire a DC
Tiki’s Giants OC Wishlist, and the Jets Hire a DC  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki

Description: With Todd Monken officially off the board, Tiki drops a fresh “Top 5” list of preferred Giants offensive coordinator candidates, ranging from familiar names like Matt Nagy and Kliff Kingsbury to intriguing newer options tied to successful coaching trees. The conversation hits what the Giants job actually offers, why play-calling matters, and why the safest endorsement might simply be “whoever John Harbaugh picks.” Then the show gets sideswiped by breaking Jets news that somehow feels even more Jets than usual: New York hires Brian Duker as defensive coordinator after a virtual interview just 21 hours earlier, with the clear implication that Aaron Glenn is essentially taking over the defense himself. The reaction is immediate, equal parts disbelief and dread, as callers torch Woody Johnson, question how any of this qualifies as a plan, and argue the only person who could survive this level of dysfunction is a full power “CEO coach” like Jon Gruden. The segment closes with the larger fear hovering over everything: the Jets’ reputation is so bad that even elite quarterback prospects may steer clear, which turns “hope” into something darker, rooting for the No. 1 pick and praying the next coaching hire finally resets the franchise.
