Consider the rash of interest in poaching Giants assistant coaches to be the price of success.
Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale will visit Indianapolis this week for a second interview for the Colts head coach vacancy and quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney is scheduled to interview soon for the Buccaneers offensive coordinator position, The Post confirmed.
Because there is no salary cap for coaches, the Giants could try to make the 59-year-old Martindale a lucrative offer to stay, though he has made no secret about his desire to be a head coach and those opportunities don’t come every year for relatively older, defensive-minded coaches. Then-Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham received a raise in conjunction with turning down a head coach interview with the Jets in January 2021.
Outside linebacker Jihad Ward, who played under Martindale with the Ravens and Giants, described his play-caller’s personality as “100 percent” authentic. Ward said a team would rally around their head coach’s “ride-or-die togetherness” built in the locker room. If Martindale is hired away, he could tap outside linebackers coach Drew Wilkins to be his defensive coordinator, unless the Giants have the same idea.
