The New York Giants offensive coaching staff, and offense as a whole, is going to be one of the big storylines of the Giants’ 2026 training camp and preseason.Not only will we be talking about the development of quarterback Jaxson Dart and how the offense copes with the (potential) absence of Malik Nabers, the offensive coaching staff itself will be a storyline.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe decision to hire Matt Nagy has been characterized as a joke or an act of charity on the part of Harbaugh for his old friend Andy Reid. Under Nagy are former 49ers, Bills, Ravens, and Chargers OC Greg Roman and former Titans HC and Bengals OC Brian Callahan. Not only are they about as different as two coaches can be, they both failed rather spectacularly in their most recent stops.So again, the hirings were met with reactions that range from skepticism to derision. Personally, I wouldn’t go anywhere near that far, but the arrangement is certainly confusing on the face of it.Here’s what I said in the beginning of July when NFL.com gave the Giants’ offseason the only “A+” grade in the NFC.The decision to create the Matt Nagy/Brian Callahan/Greg Roman triumvirate is confusing. I suspect that the plan is for Callahan and Roman to cover each other’s blind spots in play design, while Nagy balances the offense as a whole, but we’ll have to wait and see how that plays out.I don’t believe that Harbaugh is just throwing spaghetti at the wall with his coaching hires. I believe there is a definite vision, though we aren’t privy as to what that may beAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWith training camp approaching, and with it our first real looks into the Giants’ schemes, I wanted to go back and dig a bit more into that triumvirate.Greg Roman has been an offensive coordinator in the NFL for most of the last 15 years (save a two-year stretch as a “Senior Assistant” with the Baltimore Ravens in 2017-2018). He is widely known for his affinity for running the ball and is, frankly, catnip for power run game enjoyers.Roman has consistently produced elite rushing attacks that are designed to pound opposing teams into submission.Or, as he said after being hired by the Chargers in 2024,“I think in this league, you can really, really help dictate the defenses if you have a strong running attack,” Roman said. “If you really talk to most defensive coordinators in this league and got ’em off to the side when they’re playing a really good running team, they’re sweating a little bit. They’re sleeping a little less that week.”Like I said: Catnip. And that likely explains why the Harbaugh brothers simply love him.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJust look at what John Harbaugh recently told Domonique Foxworth about Jaxson Dart.He can live in a power-running game, obviously, and a power-running game protects the quarterback because you can hand the ball off and make people defend that and keep them honest.
