PRO FOOTBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE NFL : Reeves Intersted in Coaching the Giants

George Young, stunned by Dave Wannstedt’s decision to take the Chicago Bears’ head coaching job, met with Dan Reeves to discuss the New York Giants’ position that no one seems to want.

Reeves, the former Denver Bronco coach who is one of the few people who has pursued the Giants’ job, met with Young at a hotel in Denver. “It doesn’t help me (to comment),” Reeves said by telephone. “If anything it probably hurts me. I wouldn’t have talked to him (Young) if I wasn’t interested.”

Meanwhile, Bronco owner Pat Bowlen met with Bronco defensive coordinator Wade Phillips as interviews continued in an effort to fill the team’s vacant head coaching position. San Francisco offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan, considered the front-runner for the job, probably will be interviewed later this week, Bowlen said.
