MINNEAPOLIS -- Pat Shurmur isn't sharing much about his offensive coordinator search, but the new Giants coach expects to have his full staff in place this week.

"We've got a few (assistants) in the building, and we'll finish up the hiring process (this) week," Shurmur said Saturday night on the red carpet of the NFL Honors awards show. "Then we'll all get to work."

When asked if he has conducted any offensive coordinator interviews, Shurmur replied, "I've got an idea of what I want to do."

The fact that Shurmur isn't conducting a wide search indicates that he has his sights set on a coach he knows well. Vikings quarterbacks coach Kevin Stefanski, who spent the past two years working under Shurmur in Minnesota, fits that bill.

"I think he's a tremendous coach," Shurmur said.

Stefanski interviewed with the Vikings to replace Shurmur as offensive coordinator last week. Minnesota still has not made a hire, which could be the cause of the Giants' delay as Shurmur waits to see if Stefanski will be available.

Another possibility is that Shurmur is waiting for an assistant from a team in Sunday's Super Bowl to become available. Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley, who has an extensive history with Shurmur, is a possible candidate.

The Giants have only officially announced the hiring of defensive coordinator James Bettcher. But most of the staff is in place, with the exception of an offensive coordinator and a quarterbacks coach.

Shurmur, who was hired by the Giants on Jan. 22, took a trip back to Minnesota on Saturday to collect the AP Assistant Coach of the Year award. It was a brief break after a busy first week as Giants' head coach.

"Along with finishing up the hiring process of the staff, certainly I'm watching the Giants players from last year and planning how we move forward." Shurmur said. "Getting to know the organization. Some of the players that are around we're just getting to know a little bit. Then starting the process of getting the schemes in place. Really, everything you need to do this time of year."
