Scot McCloughan For GM?

ajr2456 : 11/24/2017 9:19 am
Obviously he has had his issues with alcoholism, but the players he drafted for the Skins have been making a big impact. Guy knows how to evaluate talent.
Maybe the #2  
RetroJint : 11/24/2017 9:27 am : link
man in a complete front-office makeover . He hit on some . He missed on some . But, overall, he did raise their talent level . I like the redemptive aspect to life . That part of it works for me. If Mara goes that route , he would be a nice addition to the new team .
Not as GM

Maybe #2 as Retro suggests. As much as you may want to give him another chance you have to protect yourself against a relapse

I think that's fine. A Ross with more power.

Agreed
It is too risky to put him as GM  
Jay on the Island : 11/24/2017 9:36 am : link
but I would be very happy with him as assistant GM or Director of player personnel, etc. There is no denying his talent evaluation skills.

With that said I doubt Mara and co. would be interested in him due to his issues with alcohol.
"Yeah he's got confirmed alcohol issues  
Ten Ton Hammer : 11/24/2017 10:10 am : link
but he can pick players."

I feel like you knew this sounded bad but proposed it like an actual suggestion anyway.
My list  
Mike in NY : 11/24/2017 10:43 am : link
Starts and ends with John Dorsey. He may not be the best people person, but he built the KC roster after Scott Pioli left it in shambles.
Why not Dave Gettleman?

Seems like a natural fit.
No to McCloughan as GM!  
Boy Cord : 11/24/2017 11:07 am : link
His drinking is a major problem. He is not a long-term solution and the Giants will be thinking long term.
Ideally  
Jay on the Island : 11/24/2017 11:59 am : link
Wolf will be named the GM and McCloughan the assistant GM. McCloughan would be a solid experienced aid to Wolf. Perhaps coming to a stable organization like the Giants can help McCloughan get his life together.
I'm glad you brought this important issue up  
Modus Operandi : 11/24/2017 12:08 pm : link
As Scot McCloughan hasn't ever been brought up as a possible candidate yet today.
Anybody but Reese!  
Fishmanjim57 : 11/24/2017 2:05 pm : link
I don't want the ownership to grant him asylum from the disaster he built. He should have already been fired.....what are they waiting for? The end of the season he'll still be the same clueless man in the fancy suits!
Mc Cloughan

What a great idea!
The DC team has been so competitive in the last 10 years
this guy on the sauce  
Enzo : 11/24/2017 2:55 pm : link
is better than Reese sober.
you don't want a guy with  
bluepepper : 11/24/2017 4:08 pm : link
drinking problems representing your organization period. If he shows up drunk at the combine or at some league meeting, no one's going to say "sure he's blasted but he's only the Giants asst GM so no biggie".



First and most important he was involved with the building  
Larry in Pencilvania : 11/24/2017 5:22 pm : link
Of the Niners and Seahawks when both were very good teams. He did get the Skins on the right track toward winning but he and Allen butted heads. I'd be fine with him as gm because he has a proven track record
Can they really taken the risk that McCloughan presents?  
Vin_Cuccs : 11/24/2017 5:36 pm : link
I think the top target has to be Eric DeCosta from Baltimore. See if you can lure him away.

Problem is you can't control the skirt chasing and his wife's tweets about his after hours activities. Trust me, not a good fit for the giants.
