The Giants don’t have a head coach in place yet and the assistants from Tom Coughlin’s staff could find themselves without jobs depending on who ultimately takes that job.

One of those assistants has reportedly opted to take a job with another team rather than waiting to see how things play out in New Jersey. Alex Marvez of FOX Sports reports that linebacker coach Jim Herrmann has been hired for the same job with the Colts as they build out a staff under new defensive coordinator Ted Monachino.

Herrmann was on Coughlin’s staff since 2009 and won a Super Bowl ring after the 2011 season. His unit this season was part of the overall problems with the Giants defense, although missing Jon Beason and Devon Kennard for large portions of the season didn’t help the effort to build a productive group.

The Colts also parted ways with safeties coach Roy Anderson and secondary coach Mike Gillhamer after the end of the season, so there will be more new additions to the defensive coaching staff in the near future.
