Matt SGS posted a very convincing argument about why Mike Sullivan would be the logical candidate to replace Gilbride. Based on that argument and Sullivan's ties to TC and the franchise, I was buying that Sullivan coming back to the team was all but a done deal.
But the fact that the Giants are interviewing some non-obvious but reputable OC candidates like Dowell Loggains and GB QB coach McAdoo is making me wonder whether this is in fact an open competition.
What do you think and why?
I don't think the fact that Sullivan hasn't been hired yet says anything at all. The Giants are not an organization that makes rash decisions. They won't just hire someone immediately after the interview. They also wouldn't make a decision before interviewing people. So Sullivan being the favorite doesn't mean he is the guy, it means that he is the favorite at the moment. They could easily bring someone in who blows them away and end up hiring that person. They could also just as easily hire Sullivan.
The interview process is for real, but that doesn't mean Sullivan won't get the job. It means the Giants are taking their time, doing their due dilligence and are going to make what they feel is the best decision for the future of the organization.

new OC...won't see it this week. Talking with 4...maybe some more.
(Eric is summarizing Mara's statement.)
To me, this clearly means there is an open competition.
lets see if they bring in someone from the Saints and which person it is.
yep, clearly a sham! :-)
