The New York Giants interviewed Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur on Saturday for their vacant head coaching job.
Shurmur met with co-owner John Mara Qadree Ollison Jersey , general manager Dave Gettleman, and assistant general manager Kevin Abrams in Bloomington, Minnesota.
The Vikings (13-3) have a first-round bye in the playoffs.
The 52-year-old Shurmur, who had a two-year stint as the Cleveland Browns’ head coach, was the fourth person the Giants have spoken in their search to find a replacement for Ben McAdoo Rashan Gary Jersey , who was fired on Dec. 4 after less than two years on the job.
Giants interim Steve Spagnuolo was interviewed Wednesday and New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels were interviewed Friday in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Shurmur has been a part of teams that have qualified for the playoffs nine times and won seven division titles. He was Philadelphia’s quarterbacks coach when the Eagles played in the Super Bowl against New England in the 2004 season.
Shurmur is finishing his second year with the Vikings. He began last season as the tight ends coach and for the final nine games was also the offensive coordinator, the title he retained this season.
The Vikings finished 10th in the NFL in scoring (23.9 points), 11th in total yardage (356.9), and seventh in rushing yardage (122.3) this season. He also helped quarterback Case Keenum have a career year.
Shurmur posted a 9-23 record in his two seasons (11-12) with the Browns Hakeem Butler Jersey , going there after a two-year stint as the offensive coordinator with the Rams. He spent three seasons as the Eagles offensive coordinator after being fired.
Shurmur’s NFL coaching career began with a 10-year run (1999-2008) in Philadelphia. He coached in college at Stanford and Michigan State.

The top free agents have been signed, and the draft is over, which means we are ready for some football. With training camps getting underway in just a couple of months, we already have a good idea of what many of the teams are going to look like. And obviously, what the fans most want to know is who are going to be the quarterbacks for their favorite team in 2018.Some of the answers here might not be to the liking of a lot of NFL fans Chris Lindstrom Jersey , but they are about as honest as we could get. Every season, quarterbacks switch teams, and with them, a lot of hope comes and goes. Some teams win the lottery and land the number one free-agent quarterback everyone was gunning for, which this season happened to be Kirk Cousins http://www.falconsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kaleb-mcgary-jersey , who was signed by the Minnesota Vikings. There are also the quarterbacks who come in through the draft. These are the guys we should mostly feel bad for because they have the monumental task of turning a franchise around as most of the quarterbacks taken in the first round this year will undoubtedly have to start for their respective teams very early in the season.This is what a kid dreams of his entire life. But that dream probably did not entail him having to start for the Cleveland Browns, a franchise that is just coming off a winless season, as is the scenario Baker Mayfield will have to face when he arrives in Cleveland. Either way, let’s talk about some NFL QB signings and draft picks who will flop with their new team.
