The Giants are scheduled to interview their former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo for a return to that job on Wednesday, but they’re open to coaches without experience on Tom Coughlin’s staff as well.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that former Raiders head coach Dennis Allen is interviewing for the job on Tuesday. Allen was the defensive coordinator of the Broncos for one year before being hired in Oakland, where he spent two-plus years as the head coach before getting fired four games into the 2014 season with an 8-28 record to show for his efforts.

The Giants are also expected to interview Pepper Johnson for the job and they interviewed Redskins assistant Raheem Morris, but Morris isn’t thought to be in the running for the job.

Coughlin’s search is following a similar path to the one the Giants traveled while looking for an offensive coordinator last year. A former member of Coughlin’s staff, Mike Sullivan, was up for the job that ultimately went to Ben McAdoo, who had no previous connections to the staff. Unless the Giants plan to cast a wider net, we should know soon if things have played out the same way this year.
