The Giants will seemingly have one of their three coordinators back next season.Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka appears set to return to coach Brian Daboll’s staff, according to The Post’s Paul Schwartz, after a tumultuous couple of days for the organization that saw that team fire special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey on Monday and a parting of ways with defensive coordinator Wink Martindale on Wednesday.

Kafka’s return isn’t etched in stone, however, as the Titans requested permission to interview him after firing Mike Vrabel this week.

He did not offer much insight on his future with the team ahead of the season finale against the Eagles.

“Really, my only focus is on today and this week and preparing our guys the best we can for Philadelphia,’’ he said.

That the 36-year-old could be lured away is no secret — he and Martindale were among candidates to fill coaching vacancies around the league last season, though they both opted to return to the Giants.

Kafka met with several teams last offseason — interviewing with the Panthers, Texans and Colts and was believed to be a finalist for the Carolina and Houston jobs.

Part of the reason he received so much attention last year was the effective offense he ran, though the numbers didn’t back him up this season after quarterback Daniel Jones went down to injury and the offensive line allowed a league-high 85 sacks.

The continuity would be welcome, however, by those on offense.

“I think that’s important for all of us,’’ Jones said on Monday. “A lot of time goes into learning a system and learning the ins and outs and everyone getting on the same page.”
