What are your thoughts on him as our next GM if Mara pulls the plug on Reese?
Certainly knows the NFCE. Well-respected around the league, except for Bruce Allen, who's got his own problems.
Players seemed to love him. Purportedly a fan of the bottle, though I don't believe people believe it affected his work.
Scot McCloughan - (

Yes, it's common knowledge. It's the reason he was let go by both the 49ers and the Redskins.

He could drink Mint Juleps with Chris Mara :-)

Correct. I did't say that flippantly. See link, for instance.

My GM list starts and ends with John Dorsey.

They weren’t rumors it was 100% true. I’ve explained this ad naseum on this site.

I'd certainly give him a look, but there are red flags. If there is any truth to the rumors that came out of DC (and that is a big "if", considering what assholes Snyder and Allen are), no way.

So would he be off your list for the Giants?

OK, thanks, must have missed your posts. In that case, no way.
that was a truly ugly series of event and he was certainly lambasted and had his character assassinated - or at least gravely wounded.
I have no idea what the truth is after that slander campaign by the skins against McCloughan.
He was thought to be loved and well respected until the skins turned on him.

From what I was told, no, but he does have his own scouting business/team that I wouldn't be opposed to them hiring to help with their board. But what I was told was frightening. He truly held up their entire off season program because he was drunk. Nobody could get answers on anything.
He was thought to be loved and well respected until the skins turned on him.
He was also removed from two previous NFL front office positions specifically because of his issues with alcohol. Not rumor. Documented and sourced fact.
These are some interesting names. Gaine is a local guy (from Rockland County) and DeFillipo is a former Giants coach (QC 2005-06), which we all know they love, but it would be a big jump from QB coach to head coach. Maybe a defensive HC (Mike Smith?) with DeFillipo as OC? Pioli wouldn't shock me at all either. Polian might be a little long in the tooth.
Jason LaCanfora reported that Casserio and McDaniels were close to going to the 49ers last year as a package deal. NYG could do a lot worse than those two.
I’d at least give him a call...
