The New York Giants are continuing their search for a new offensive coordinator, and one of the latest names in the mix is Robert Prince, the longtime NFL assistant who most recently served as the Miami Dolphins’ wide receivers coach.
Prince, 60, brings over three decades of coaching experience to the table, including more than 20 years in the NFL. While most of that time has been spent working with wide receivers, he does have a stint as an offensive coordinator under his belt-at Boise State from 2012 to 2013. He also stepped in as the Detroit Lions’ interim head coach in 2020, giving him a taste of leadership at the top level.
Giants fans might recognize Prince from his recent tenure with the Dallas Cowboys (2022-2024), where he coached a talented group of wideouts. That includes current Giants receiver Jalin Hyatt, who likely remembers Prince well from their time as NFC East rivals. If Prince were to land in New York, that familiarity could be a double-edged sword-depending on how their past interactions went.
Right now, the Giants’ OC job is still widely viewed as Todd Monken’s to lose. But with Monken firmly in the running for the Cleveland Browns’ head coaching vacancy, the Giants are doing their due diligence. Bringing in a veteran like Prince for an interview is a smart contingency move, especially as the coaching carousel continues to spin.
There’s also a strategic layer here for head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen. Even if Prince doesn’t land the OC role, the Giants are reportedly considering him for a possible position coach role-namely wide receivers coach-should they go in a different direction for coordinator. It’s a sign that the Giants are casting a wide net not just for their top offensive job, but for key assistants as well.
What’s also interesting is how quietly the Giants have been operating during this hiring cycle. According to reports, Prince’s interview took place on Friday, but it didn’t surface until Sunday morning. That kind of silence could mean the Giants are keeping their cards close to the vest-or that they’re preparing to move quickly once their preferred candidates become available.
Either way, Prince is a name to watch. His experience, versatility, and deep NFL résumé make him a legitimate option-whether it’s as OC or in a supporting role. As the Giants continue to shape their offensive staff for 2026, don’t be surprised if Prince ends up playing a part in that picture.
