Next HC should be a defensive guy.

Boatie Warrant : 11/17/2014 7:55 pm
Not saying it will happen, just saying if it does the replacement should be a defensive guy. Maybe someone like Vic Fangio (who if we hired him in 2010 as D coordinator......blah blah blah)

So my next leap is with our horrible D do we move to a 3-4?
Ayers - Hankins - JPP
Moore - Kennard - McClain - Williams (or 2nd round pick)


I know I am dreaming but it feels better then re-watching current games. Keeping McAdoo would be nice as well. Plus, Many wanted Fangio in 2010.

Lots of leaps but I can dream. A dominate Defense would be nice to have.
our next DC

should be a defensive guy
not sure our LBs athleticism argues persuasively

for changing to a 3-4 defense

I hope we go with a defensive guy as well.

I've mentioned Dan Quinn before.
Vic Fangio!

Quinn would be a very good HC and while it will be tough to replace TC he would be a somewhat easier sell in that he's a Jersey guy who grew up a Giants fan with the Parcells teams. He seems opposite of Fewell in the sense that he has a very good rapport with his players and you would hope the constant communication issues on D would end. Unknown however is if Mc Adoo would be comfortable with this as his contract is up after '15..

As fans we get too caught up on which side of the ball the coach is from; We've had 4 straight from the O side but have had good defenses. No one thought Indy would hire a coach from the D side when drafting Luck but they did. I highly doubt though it matters since they won't fire TC nor is he ready to retire but if either occurred you'd;have to give Quinn a long look along with Adam Gase Mc Daniels and Bowels among others..
Josh McDaniels?  
McNally's_Nuts : 11/17/2014 8:09 pm : link
seriously?
I like Bowels  
dancing blue bear : 11/17/2014 8:13 pm : link
though, i'd say our bowels are full, based on how this team has been playing.


McDaniels was 32  
Jon T : 11/17/2014 8:14 pm : link
when given his first shot it's quite possible he's matured and earned another shot just like BB got another shot; Plenty in the league believe he'll get another shot' NE doesn't have much talent on O other than the QB and he's done very good work there..
Vic Fangio please

Thanks
took me a little

but in found one of the threads about Fangio from 2010

Todd Bowles  
JohnB : 11/17/2014 8:43 pm : link
If TC goes, I think Bowles might be someone the Giants will be very interested in.
Ehh..  
Sean : 11/17/2014 8:55 pm : link
it's an offensive league, I'd prefer an offensive HC and very strong DC.
I think it will be a D-minded HC  
Sammo284 : 11/17/2014 9:00 pm : link
I think the defense needs a multi-year overhaul and development of philosophy in order to truly implement a new defense/style, etc.

I really like Bowles. I think he is HC material. He's got lots of ideas, but is flexible, adaptive in terms of what he's got to work with versus what he will be facing.

He's played in the league, can relate to the grind that players face and what they are thinking on the field and this year might be his finest work so far.

Just a lot of pluses. I'm not sold on Quinn. He largely inherited a D that Carroll and Bradley built. It's a D that is not as good as the past few years too.

Fangio is solid as a defensive mind, but he's had a wealth of talent to play with in SF after a pretty nondescript coaching career before heading to coach under Harbaugh at Stanford.

who are going to be possible candidates?  
ANGPASS : 11/17/2014 9:18 pm : link
so at least we can have a better idea and not just name people.
One positive for hiring  
compton : 11/17/2014 9:20 pm : link
a defensive guy is that he may keep and give McAdoo full control of the offense.
Todd Bowles  
Blue Blood : 11/17/2014 9:28 pm : link
and no we dont need to move to a 3-4.. why is it so many people think that a 3-4 defense will be better.
My picks for HC  
yalebowl : 11/17/2014 9:31 pm : link
Would be either Spags or Mike Nolan all coaches with Giants connection if we went with a Defensive minded coach.

Sean Payton,if available, if we went offensive.

Anything is better at this point. I prefer the 3-4 defense mainly because of linebacker play. Not saying 3-4 is better overall. With the players we currently have I think we are as close to being able to switch to a 3-4 as we have been in over a decade. That isn't saying much though.
