GIANTS INTERVIEW ADAM GASE ON FRIDAY…
The New York Giants will interview Chicago Bears Offensive Coordinator Adam Gase on Friday. Gase also served as the Denver Broncos quarterback coach in 2011-12 and offensive coordinator in 2013-14, working with quarterback Eli Manning’s brother Peyton. Gase has received interest from the Browns, Eagles, and Dolphins.

As reported previously, other candidates include:

• New York Giants Offensive Coordinator Ben McAdoo, who interviewed on Tuesday.

• New York Giants Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, who interviewed on Thursday.

• Detroit Lions Defensive Coordinator Teryl Austin, who interviewed on Thursday.

• Jacksonville Jaguars Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line Coach Doug Marrone, who will interview on Saturday.

• Carolina Panthers Defensive Coordinator Sean McDermott. However, the Panthers say the only team that has requested an interview with McDermott thus far is the Cleveland Browns. Teams can interview McDermott this week but not next week because of the Panthers playoff schedule.

Does not sound like Giants falling over themselves to get at Lovie Smith. Based on reactions last nite, that's good news for Giants Twitter.

Eagles confirm they have interviewed Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo for their head coach position today. Going very well.
