Matt Nagy will call offensive plays for New York Giants from booth
Summary

New York Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy announced he will call plays from the coaching booth for the start of the 2026 season. Nagy, who joined the team alongside head coach John Harbaugh, confirmed that Harbaugh delegated the decision entirely to him. After testing the setup during the preseason, Nagy expressed a preference for the environment of the booth, noting the calm atmosphere compared to the sidelines. This marks a departure from his previous coaching roles where he did not perform play-calling duties from an elevated vantage point. The Giants enter the season with second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart and recent acquisitions including tight end Isaiah Likely. The team will look to elevate an offensive unit that finished in the bottom half of the league in scoring over each of the last three seasons.
