The N.Y. Giants need a coach, and former star RB Brandon Jacobs believes he’s got the guy who will return the G-men to their Super Bowl-winning ways — Antonio Pierce!
TMZ Sports talked to the former Giants running back, as the team begins its hunt to replace Brian Daboll … after their eighth loss of the season on Sunday.
Jacobs says his former teammate, Pierce, with whom he won Super Bowl XLII, is the ideal choice for the high-pressure gig, believing AP’s grit and toughness are exactly what the Giants need.
Pierce, of course, has some head coaching experience … he was the HC for the Las Vegas Raiders.
“In my opinion, I think the Giants have to bring people in that was part of that dominating era,” Jacobs told us.
“I think Antonio Pierce will be a great fit for the Giants. They know him well, he knows the city well, he can be something for the young players to learn what not to do, what to do, how to be a professional in New York.”
Jacobs is willing to help, too. In fact, Brandon says he’d happily join Pierce’s staff as an assistant coach.
“At any level, I would love to be a part of it. I think that’s more like a position coach or maybe helping with scouting or something in that nature,” Jacobs said. “Not necessarily be a head coach ’cause I don’t think I wanna do that.”
Brandon added … “I would love to be a part of the franchise and help them build.”
Jacobs isn’t the only one to throw Pierce’s name out there … but he’s far from the only potential candidate.
The Giants have some talent, including a young, electric quarterback — and with the team being in NYC (yes, Jersey, technically, we know) — there’s a long list of potential suitors, including all-time great, Bill Belichick.
Belichick, who won two Super Bowls as Giants coordinator decades ago, is in the midst of his first season in Chapel Hill, where he’s the UNC head coach. Despite being tied up with another job, many believe BB could make one last run in the National Football League.
So, good idea to hire Bill?
Jacobs definitely isn’t opposed.

In a recent interview, former New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs expressed his belief that the Giants should consider hiring Antonio Pierce as their next head coach. With the team in need of a new leader following a disappointing season, Jacobs sees Pierce, his former teammate and Super Bowl XLII champion, as the ideal candidate to bring the team back to its winning ways.
Pierce, who previously served as the head coach for the Las Vegas Raiders, is praised by Jacobs for his grit and toughness, qualities that Jacobs believes are essential for the Giants’ success. Jacobs even offered to join Pierce’s coaching staff as an assistant coach, eager to contribute to the team’s development.
While Pierce is a strong contender for the position, other candidates, including legendary coach Bill Belichick, have also been mentioned as potential options. Belichick, known for his success with the New England Patriots, has ties to the Giants organization and could provide valuable leadership if he were to return to the NFL.
As the Giants weigh their options for a new head coach, Jacobs remains hopeful for the team’s future and is open to playing a role in helping them rebuild. With talent on the roster and the allure of New York City, the Giants have a range of possibilities to consider as they look to turn their season around.
Overall, the decision to hire a new head coach is crucial for the Giants’ success, and Jacobs’ endorsement of Pierce adds an intriguing dynamic to the team’s coaching search. Stay tuned for updates as the Giants make their decision on who will lead them into the next era of football.
