Duce Staley is on New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur's radar for his offensive coordinator opening.

Shurmur worked diligently to fill out most of his coaching staff since being hired last week, but the Giants still need to find an offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and offensive line coach for Shurmur's new staff. According to SNY, Staley is a candidate to land the offensive coordinator job. Staley has moved up the ranks in the offensive coordinator search following Shurmur's Friday introductory press conference where he hinted that the role has yet to be filled because some candidates are currently unable to be interviewed.

Shurmur and Staley have close ties from their days working together on the Philadelphia Eagles staff. Staley also played under Shurmur during the coach's first run with the Eagles. Staley is currently serving as the running backs coach for the Eagles and has drawn high praise for his work with running backs LeGarrette Blount, Jay Ajayi, and rookie Corey Clement. Players love playing for Staley, and because Shurmur will call the offensive plays in New York, the jump would not be overwhelming for Staley from running backs coach to coordinator. Staley would be in charge of coordinating the run game and planning an offensive plan of attack for each week with Shurmur.
