The New York Giants have requested to interview Minnesota Vikings passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach Daronte Jones for their vacant defensive coordinator position, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
This is the second time in three coaching cycles that the Giants have shown interest in Jones. They interviewed him in 2024 before hiring Shane Bowen, who has since departed.
Jones, 47, has already held in-person interviews with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets for their open DC roles this offseason.
Jones has been with the Vikings since 2022, assuming the pass game coordinator title in 2023 while working under Brian Flores, whose aggressive and creative schemes have become a league trademark.
Though Jones has no NFL coordinating experience, he served as LSU’s defensive coordinator in 2021 and began his coaching career in 2001, with NFL stops in Miami, Cincinnati, and Minnesota.
The request is the first known coordinator interview since the Giants hired John Harbaugh as head coach. Jones has no evident ties to Harbaugh, but overlapped one season in Miami with general manager Joe Schoen.
