Bill O'Brien is on the New York Giants wishlist for their next head coach should he part ways with the Houston Texans this offseason.

According to locked in beat reporter Art Stapleton, the Giants will be interested in O'Brien should he part ways with the Texans. Earlier this season, we learned that the Texans and O'Brien could mutually agree to part ways this offseason.

If O'Brien is made available, the Giants will likely be one of the first teams to interview him now that they have a general manager in place. O'Brien checks off two boxes the Giants are desperately looking to fill in -- he has experience as a head coach and he is known as a bright offensive mind who has molded many success stories at the quarterback position. O'Brien played a major role in the immediate success of rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson this season during his Texans debut before he tore his ACL.

O'Brien's offensive scheme derives from New England as he once coached quarterback Tom Brady as Bill Belichick's offensive coordinator. O'Brien brought his offensive scheme to Penn State where he turned borderline talent Matt McGloin into a capable quarterback who eventually spent several years as a backup quarterback in the NFL. Next, O'Brien worked with Christian Hackenberg at Penn State and molded him into one of the most successful freshman quarterbacks in the NCAA before leaving for the Texans. The work O'Brien did on Hackenberg in one season eventually led to him being selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the New York Jets. Hackenberg has never been the same since leaving O'Brien's tutelage.

If the Giants are leaning towards selecting their franchise quarterback for the next 15 seasons in the 2018 NFL Draft, O'Brien is a near perfect fit to mold him into one of the NFL's best quarterbacks.
