Asshats...

Chris684 : 12/6/2017 11:01 am
Looking forward to another season of asshattery, the more the merrier.

Has anyone with contacts heard anything early on?
Yeah this is gonna be a wild couple of months.  
bceagle05 : 12/6/2017 11:03 am : link
Giants were wise to do the firings in-season - now nobody will care about this last quarter of the season, and will instead speculate on coach/GM candidates.
There were a couple of posters  
Jay on the Island : 12/6/2017 11:03 am : link
who said that Gruden has reached out to the Giants to express his interest in the HC job.
This should be a more exciting offseason  
Jay on the Island : 12/6/2017 11:04 am : link
than the 2004 or 2005 offseasons. Rumors of who will be the next HC, GM, OC, DC, 1st round QB target(s), etc.
This should be more fun than 2016

when, even with some of the asshattery going on, it seemed pretty obvious Mac was going to get the nod.
Not asshat  
BigBlueHens : 12/6/2017 11:10 am : link
but I heard Reese is looking towards retirement. He has been apparently planning, or looking, to retire at the end of his contract. But since he is now unemployed and the Giants will still pay out his contract, it is an very well liked option.

I am very excited to see the changes this offseason, and looking on BBI to see some rumors and news before it breaks. Complete change is needed and while they are dark times, they are exciting times.
I don't ever read Slade's stuff

After his first or second year as GM Reese reportedly wanted to work in the league office after his tenure here was over.

Slade mentioned  
Pete in MD : 12/6/2017 11:22 am : link
that EA has already reached out to Kyle O'Brien about the GM job. It isn't a big stretch since EA recommended O'Brien for jobs in the past. Take it FWIW.

In fact it was mentioned by Francesca first then posted here by Slade. I have given up on Slade as being anything but an attention seeker.

Probably Asshatery to the 25th power:
What and who were EA's recommendations?
Who's the GM?
Will he get his HC pick or live w/Mara pick?

mattyblue : 12/6/2017 12:45 pm : link
I don’t understand is, and I am not as informed as a lot of people, but how can you formulate strong opinions about who will be a good GM? I get that coaches with experience you can have an opinion on. However, I don’t know what people outside an interview room would know about GM candidates who haven’t done it before. Maybe someone could enlighten me on what they look for?

mattyblue : 12/6/2017 12:48 pm : link
also mean that sincerely and not rudely. I don’t like the idea of Gettleman because I would like a fresh pair of eyes here, but that isn’t a valid reason for me to even have much of an opinion on what would be a good selection vs a bad selection.

Yes, but the critics pull the same old crap. They piss and moan about anything they get that is not 100% guaranteed and then post plaintive pleas for "asshat" info when none is forthcoming. I wouldn't blame anyone for not saying a damn thing to this crowd.

I agree, and I don't understand why people get bent out of shape about a self-declared asshat being wrong. Think Slade is a phoney, self-promoting d-bag? Fine, don't click on his threads, or if you do, feel free to criticize him, but the constant calls for bannings are ridiculous. If you are so incensed by Slade's, or anyone else's posts, ignore them.

That said, when a d-bag like Dragon openly hopes for our QB to break his neck against Dallas, that might be grounds for a ban.
Great now is a thread about Slade

We criticize Slade because he is a fake. He said that his sources said that McAdoo would be fired if they lost to the 49ers. He takes things he reads on twitter and then posts it as his own information. Most of BBI supports hitdog and the real posters who have genuine inside info but Slade is not one of those people.

You're telling me.

I was a newbie here when the Arrington hype was at its peak and BBI was in "Lamar" mode. I think I said I thought the joke was stupid and I got piled on for that but I took it in stride and here I am now, over a decade later on the Mt. Rushmore of BBI.

hitdog42 : 12/7/2017 2:42 pm : link
the media is likely on the right people at this stage (which is btw day 3 and you always are going to hear those prior connected to the giants first). Gettleman an obvious name to follow.
Fox, Payton (not as likely to leave saints as prior), Smith, and Schwartz types ... but again its quite early.
Not a peep so far  
JonC : 12/7/2017 2:52 pm : link
presumably, EA's doing most of the early leg work at this stage.
