but I think it's more than fair to question the competence of any coach who has been bad since the lockout and probably unable to adjust to the new CBA. The Giants head coach might be #1 on that list. Spags might have the same problem.
Huh? Are you talking limitation on practice sessions? Instead of making us guess, can you expound a bit? Thanks.
When you run a much more complex offense and defense like we did under Gilbride and Fewell, the lesser practice time hits you 2X as hard.
Both Spags system and MacAdoo's system are much easier to grasp.
that this was a case of the team desperatly looking to the past instead of their thinking that Spags was the best option. I don't always agree with Mara/Reese/Coughlin, but I know that they aren't stupid.
so while it's arguable and defensible on the performance measures that Vic Fangio would have been a more justifiable selection from a perspective of consistently superior performance as DC over the past 4 years, the Giants defensive players, the HC, the owners, the fans... they know what he did here before. It was magical, and improbable. Are they looking to recapture lightning in a bottle? Maybe. Maybe the unspoken message with Spags is you can believe in his system, not on blind faith, but because he asked a Giants defensive unit to believe in the system before, and everyone knows the rest of the story. Sure, different players, different times under different rules... everything's different. Can't be turned around. 29th is just too bad to get better too soon. Maybe. But the players see Spags over there on the sidelines, and he did it before...

I tend to believe his system really fits the players Reese has a propensity to draft and bring in via FA. Big, fast, athletic these guys should be attacking not playing too much read and react and complicated zone switching.
It will be exciting to see what he does round 2. I think Reese will fortify around the D core with a couple more nice pieces too.
