Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka will interview for the Buccaneers offensive coordinator vacancy, according to a Fox Sports report.
He will also speak with the Lions, NFL Network reported.
Kafka interviewed last week for the Giants’ full-time head coach position, though focus in that search has shifted to the pursuit of free agent John Harbaugh.
Kafka has not interviewed for any of the other seven head coach vacancies, which is a strange twist after he was a candidate for head coach with eight franchises from 2023-25, including when he was a non-play-calling offensive coordinator.
After his season-ending 2-5 stint as an interim head coach under very difficult circumstances, it appears a lateral move to offensive coordinator is the best that awaits him this offseason.
The Buccaneers fired Josh Grizzard after one season. Their previous two offensive coordinators (Dave Canales and Liam Coen) became head coaches.
