As thrilled as Wink Martindale was to get the request, he has told the Colts they’ll have to wait.
Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale had made no secret of how much he would like to be a head coach in the NFL, so when the Colts requested permission to interview him for their opening, he was excited.
But as thrilled as Martindale was to get the request, he has told the Colts they’ll have to wait. Martindale has to prepare for the Giants’ divisional playoff game against the Eagles on Saturday. Martindale said he is keeping his focus on the Eagles right now and not on any head-coaching possibilities.
“I think when the time comes if there is still time and we can do it, I’d love to sit down and talk with them.” NFL teams are interested in both of the Giants’ coordinators. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka has received requests from the Colts, Texans and Panthers to interview for their head-coaching jobs. Like Martindale, he is putting off interviews until after the Eagles game. If the Giants lose on Saturday, both coordinators could interview some time next week. If the Giants win, the coordinators would have to wait until after the NFC Championship game.
