NFL Coaching Rumors: Giants and Panthers Request to Interview Patriots OC Josh McDaniels

The Giants and Browns are looking for new head coaches after firing Pat Shurmer and Freddie Kitchens at the conclusion of the NFL's regular season.

Both franchises, as well as the Panthers, have reportedly requested permission to interview Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Carolina has been searching for a coach since firing Ron Rivera in early December.

Questions remain over coach Jason Garrett's job status in Dallas after quarterback Dak Prescott told reporters Sunday that he'd never been disappointed after a win before, but that he felt that way after the Cowboys' 47-16 victory over the Redskins. Dallas did what it had to do on Sunday but still missed the playoffs.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones declined to comment on Garrett's status after the game. "I have all the respect in the world for him," Jones did say, adding that he doesn't have a shareable timetable about a Garrett update.

Garrett told 105.3 The Fan that there is a team meeting slated for noon on Monday and he will meet with Jones after that.

With the NFL regular season over, the coaching carousel is starting to heat up.
