Kafka was hired by the Giants as their offensive coordinator in 2022 after Brian Daboll was named head coach. In each of the past two offseasons, Kafka was a hot name on the NFL head coaching carousel and was interviewed for several head coaching vacancies.

This offseason, Daboll elevated Kafka to assistant head coach after he drew interest from multiple teams, including the Seattle Seahawks, who interviewed him for their head coaching job and considered him as offensive coordinator.
