As the assistant head coach of the New York Giants, Mike Kafka is on the rise in the NFL coaching world. After garnering interest as a potential head coach for the second consecutive offseason, Kafka was promoted by head coach Brian Daboll to this new role.
Despite speculation about his future with the team and whether he will continue calling offensive plays in 2024, Daboll has hinted that he may take on that responsibility himself. Kafka’s expanded responsibilities are not yet clearly defined, but he is eager to learn from Daboll and take on whatever tasks come his way.
Kafka gained valuable experience this offseason as assistant head coach, including involvement in the interview process for hiring support staff. He believes this experience will help him in his future endeavors and expects his responsibilities to continue growing as the season approaches.
Regardless of how the 2024 regular season goes for Kafka, he is already being seen as a sought-after candidate for coaching hires in 2025. His promotion to assistant head coach reflects the potential that many see in him as a future head coach in the NFL.
