Garafolo-Gettleman eager to get Wilks in front of ownership

Vin_Cuccs : 1/7/2018 9:50 am
Interesting video from Garafolo with Rapoport.

Two informative Tweets from Garafolo as well:

Giants say they’d prefer experience but Wilks could be the guy that convinces them otherwise. GM Dave Gettleman is eager to get him in front of ownership, we hear.


Big week for #Panthers DC Steve Wilks: Playoff game today. Then, win or lose, Wilks will spend the next week trying to fit in 4 scheduled interviews with #Giants, #Lions, #Colts, and #AZCardinals.

Giants likely first.

I am neither excited

nor concerned about any of these guys. There's no reliable way to predict which ones will or won't be successful. We will just have to see which one they hire and hope for the best.

Mike Tomlin used a Tampa 2 scheme his entire career before coming to Pittsburgh where they ran the 3-4 and still do today. He altered his scheme around the strengths of his players. That is what the great DC’s do. It’s also the reason why guys like Tim Lewis and Perry Fewell failed.
If Wilks is running Rivera’s scheme

And they are playing this well then he deserves a lot of credit.

I'm pretty sure that Tomlin didn't get to hire his own DC. Dick LeBeau was still there.

Yes Lebeau was there but IIRC he had the option to make a change but he decided to stick with the current scheme since they had the personnel in place and it would have taken time to bring in new players that better fit the Tampa 2.

Reese reportedly wanted two other candidates over McAdoo. I hope Mara doesn’t force anyone on Gettleman unless it is Belichick of course.

I could see positional coaching spot such wrs,QB.

Or assistant HC ....if he could be convinced.

Been looking at OL coaches such as Chris Morgan (Atlanta and Seattle) and Dante Scarnecchia (Pat's,) as examples of OL coaches who might go for OC job here, depending on what the HC is willing to implement.

Yeah, they should definitely take a proven OC and make him a position coach while they take an OL coach who has a very specialized responsibility and make him the OC. Seems like a great idea. Then run stretch left all day.

You have a solid knowledge of football strategy but tend do go too far with your wishes.
Considering what a mess we have

Apple, Flowers, shitty OL, possible transition from Manning, our former HC making a mess of everything, OBJ's antics, I am leery with an inexperienced coach. The Giants need to have someone who has demonstrated the ability to pull a team together and handle stuff.
There is PC pressure here for sure

to hire Wilks. Same as when they fired Coughlin and retained the incompetent Reese and Ross. Wish Wilks well and DG knows his shit. Now get ELI that third SB.

There is no experienced guy out there like that . They don’t appear to be interested in Harbaugh or Cowher

Agreed and I think those priblems are over-blown.

- I think with Apple and Flowers, Gettleman has them on a short leash and the incoming coach will be made aware of that. They start causing problems, I dont think Gett hesitates in keeping them from the club.

-I can almost guarantee that our OL will be 100% better after one offseason. It's one of our new GM's platform statements. We WILL have a solid O line next year.

- New coach will most likely have a brandsy new QB to start the season behind a 2 time Super Bowl MVP. He also will have zero loyalty to Eli and will legitimately move on from him if it is in the best interest in the team.

-OBJ's antics are waaaaaaaay overblown and I think will be handled a bit differently with DG at the helm.


True leaders demonstrate it without having experience. I think thats what DG wants from his guy.

Do you really think that John Mara will be concerned with being "PC" when he is risking his franchise and the millions that come with it?

It is just ridiculous.

More BBI myth. Accorsi did want Coughlin.
Should probably be noted that

Of the 8 teams remaining in the playoffs, 5 are coached by a coach in his first coaching gig.
Strange how we never heard of McAdoo's inability

why ??
I hope we hire a HC with a good coaching background  
Jersey55 : 1/8/2018 4:37 pm : link
and one who has been a HC before and has the necessary experience, McAdoo has soured me on bringing in a young hotshot with no resume...
