NFL Networks Dave Dameshek predicts Belichick to Giants

until we hire Shurmur (or whoever else).

Much as it would be Christmas come early, I refuse to allow myself to give this any credence.

Slade lives!

I'm pretty sure he's just guessed every possibility at this point so that eventually something will be right.

Why would Kraft let these assistants go if BB was leaving?

he would want to keep one and then trade B.B?

It'll give us two weeks to see where things stand in New England between Kraft, Bill and Tawmy.

we should find out pretty quick if there's anything to this.

Hard to imagine either Jacksonville in the Super Bowl or BB coming back, though.

...it also means the Eagles and Pats lost, which is nice.

Never!

To renege on a likely verbal agreement between the NYG and Shurmur and hire Belichick IF this somehow comes to pass?

Does he have any credibility at all?

too much media, too many assholes trying to make a name for themselves.

I actually believe there is a lot to all this Belichick stuff and him possibly leaving NE. I just don't think he ends up with the Giants. He will command $10-15m per year and full control. The Giants will never give him either.

I think he takes next year off and resurfaces with the Redskins or Dolphins in 2019.

You do remember who owns that team, right?

Margot Robbie will be hand-feeding me grapes in her birthday suit before Bill Belichick agrees to work for Lil' Danny Snyder.

yes, but its business...

he would be fine...zona wants him

I have no expectation of it happening, but he loves the franchise enough, and has a close enough relationship with John Mara, to figure out a front office structure and dollar amount both sides could live with.

Moronic posts plus January 2018 registration? Troll? Noooooooo!

I just think there only a handful of teams that will pay him and give him full control and the Skins are def one of them.

I'd say the Cowboys too, but Jerry Jones would never give up control.

I have been on this site for 20 years, it is a new handle.

I'm not saying I know anything, it is just a hunch.

Simmons said he was a Giants fan and I believe Dameshek was on Simmons' podcast. I think this is the same dude.

when Lil' Danny is the owner. He can't help himself. Even if he gave BB assurances that he'd keep his nose out of football operations, why would Belichick ever believe him?

If he chooses to leave NE, there will be teams trampling each other to hand their teams over to him. I'd think the Redskins would be one of the last places he'd ever consider.

BB working for our GM? What we fire him too? What BS.

It is the same guy. But he is a big Steelers fan not a Giants fan. He may be doing this to also mess w Simmons.

but the one thing thats interesting is that nobody knows Belichicks contract status. Nobody knows if he's signed through this year. NObody knows if he has an opt out. His contract situation is completely hidden.

I remember reading Accorsi’s book and he talked about a meeting between Parcells & the Giants prior to the 2006 NYG/DAL game in Giants Stadium. Parcells wanted the GM job. These conversations happen.

This would be a huge boost to his credibility.

And it's probably got more leverage in his favor than any coaching contract in the NFL.

is that nobody else knows what it is.

A comedy writer. Seriously.

Dude is making a no-risk guess. That's all this is.

that there’s some communication between all parties involved. Mara has good relationships with Kraft and Belichick, and he was in New England just a few days ago. I’d still put the chances at around two percent though.

I Belichick was available and the giants passed there would be a riot to have the Mara's fired from owning the franchise...arguably the greatest coach of all time wants to come back to his home you give him whatever the f*ck he wants.

why couldn't they collaborate? Gettleman is old school watch film tape type guy...why wouldn't that work with Bill's style?

Gettleman can be the GM but Belichick has the final say on personnel matters. If Gettleman doesn't like it, let him walk. I'd absolutely sign up for that.

But it doesn't matter because Belichick isn't coming to the Giants anyway.

You win, thread over. you somonabatch.

There is one special accomplishment that has eluded every great NFL Coach---- a 3 peat! If New England wins this year, just how can Bill pass on that challenge?

"he loved it here" thing. It's different owners, different front office, different building, different players wearing different uniforms.

He could bring back the old unis, but he can't bring back Wellington Mara or Bob Tisch, or Giants Stadium.

I would too. But your skeptical initial post holds more sway:
Giants' ownership, scared of their own shadows, having been shamed into firing the GM, Ross, and the HC--for mostly the wrong acknowledged reasons--would go into cardiac arrest before they would stroll down this road. Their renewed "loyalty" to DG and stability would trump all.

I'm actually surprised that there is this talk of the breakup of the Holy Trinity with BB going to NYG. Yes, they've been together for, what, 17 years? There are bound to be strains and stresses, the Garoppalo trade twisted the end game a bit, but there is an enormous leap of faith for that to lead BB to NYG.

Whoever has say on personnel matters in this next regime, I will lay big $$ it's going to be miles better than we have put up with the past nine years/

Anyone heard from rfflair recently?

That would be the ideal situation... Belichick takes an upstairs role, EVP of football operations.

I still don't think Belichick is coming here...

BUT.

I can't shake this feeling that we're going to get thrown a major curveball somehow and Shurmur actually isn't going to wind up being named the next HC.

Not necessarily Belichick - but it just feels like maybe the decision isn't final yet despite reports that they've already decided.

None of it is.

“Shurmur will accept IF the Giants offer”

“Patricia is LIKELY going to Detroit”

The lack of action leads me to believe verbal agreements have been made, but you never know.

But if for some reason John Mara gets a call from Belichick's agent and the agent says "He wants the job, but the following needs to happen..." you agree to those terms and you bring him in. Even if that means you reneg on a handshake deal with Shurmer, or Gettleman focuses on the scouting/contract side of the GM side while giving up final say on personnel.

You can't pass up a chance to hire the greatest coach in the game because all of the facts weren't known at the time.

Yep. He’s said multiple times about how it’s not the same with MetLife. He was tearing up about his memories with the Giants coupled with the fact it was his LAST time in Giants Stadium.

There are only so many candidates. Whomever is right will claim they are an insider. Hmmm Bull Shit!

I would love to see Brady without Belichick for a season or two. 1 GOAT without the other GOAT.
