Shurmur wants Del Rio

Oh fuck yeah

Please let that happen. I would have been happy with either Del Rio, Edwards, or Bettcher. Now let's grab Russ Grimm as OL coach and this staff would be looking very strong.

And apparently Dorsey for QB coach.
I think it's fair to be skeptical about NYG making this happen.  
Big Blue Blogger : 1/21/2018 12:15 pm : link
I can't recall an instance of current ownership winning a bidding war for a big-name assistant coach. This isn't a "Mara/Tisch are cheap" complaint. It just doesn't seem to be the organization's MO to spend big on an established brand like Del Rio, who will certainly have multiple options - including a sabbatical at around $5MM.

Maybe it's coincidence that the Giants haven't competed in this market in the past. Maybe Gettleman and Shurmur have dictated a change. We'll see.

Anyway, I think Del Rio would be an excellent choice, and he comes with a huge network of coaching connections going all the way back to the Ravens' SB XXXV team.

Del Rio story...  
Jimmy Googs : 1/21/2018 12:18 pm : link
Jack Del Rio and his wife sat across from my row in first class cabin from JAX to ATL about 10 years ago.

Couple of young kids walked up to front of plane and asked him for his autograph. Del Rio looked perturbed and told the kids he was busy and that he would sign it in the airport after they get off the plane.

Del Rio gets off the plane with the rest of our first class cabin and walks on his merry way down the terminal. The kids presumably deplane minutes later and never see him again.

Not for nothing, but that was a dick move...

Did you read the article? There is no bidding war. He is getting paid 6 million each of the next 3 years. Anything his new team gives him will be subtracted from Oakland's paycheck.

Chris Mortensen chimes iin on Del Rio  
Canton : 1/21/2018 12:36 pm : link
[quote ]Del Rio has been prominent on Shurmur's list of defensive candidates, and he is open to joining the presumptive Giants coach.

The Giants are planning to schedule a second interview this week with Shurmur, sources told ESPN. If Minnesota loses to the Eagles in Sunday's NFC Championship Game, the Giants can negotiate or sign Shurmur immediately.

Del Rio won't be doing it for money if he becomes the Giants' defensive coordinator. He is scheduled to average $6 million per year from the Raiders over the next three years, and any salary he is paid by the Giants simply will be offset against his Oakland contract, sources tell Mortensen.[/quote]

Will be a refreshing change if the Giants hire a HC and DC that's aren't part of the Mara Bros Ring of Trust after hiring the new GM and ST coach the Wellington way.

For whatever it's worth even though they were hired the Wellington way I think Gettleman and McGaughey are going to be major upgrades.

But if the Raiders are subsidizing Del Rio for $6 Million for 3 years and it's unlikely that a guy with the HC experience he has is staying beyond 3 years and it's unlikely that a DC is going to be paid more than $6 Million, can we get away with no paying anything? I know it doesn't matter from a salary cap standpoint, but it would be a nice selling point to Mara.

There might be a minimum like with players. But that is just an assumption.

arcarsenal : 1/21/2018 2:22 pm : link
The OC hire will matter to me slightly less than the DC hire - Shurmur will have his fingerprints all over the offense and he's proven he knows how to run one.

I realize we just did this with McAdoo but McAdoo had less of a proven track record as a coordinator before he was promoted and I think Shurmur is a far better football coach.

Why would someone work for free? Yes, he's being paid out from his raiders contract, but he'd still be working here.

Why would someone work for free? Yes, he's being paid out from his raiders contract, but he'd still be working here.

Huh? No matter what, Del Rio is getting paid $6 million per year over the next 3 years. Why does it matter who is paying him? How does that affect his agent?

Del Rio gets off the plane with the rest of our first class cabin and walks on his merry way down the terminal. The kids presumably deplane minutes later and never see him again.

Not for nothing, but that was a dick move...





If you told this story about Jerry Jones or Zeke Elliot, all of BBI would be denouncing him. But because Giants might hire JDR suddenly being a dick to some klids is just a matter of privacy.

I get that he's being paid by oakland, but how does it work that any money he makes here is only an offset of that money rather than a separate contract? That doesn't make sense to me.

Have they stayed because they want to stay, or have they stayed because no body wants them?


What would the odds be of nobody wanting any of them (other than Graham)? Even considering the shit show we were subjected to this past season, I think the offense was clearly the lesser of the two units, and most of those guys got new jobs. Hell, even McAdoo is getting interviews. While they were told by management that they were free to explore other options, that's not really the same as being told they were out. Knowing that Spags and Shurmur have a history together, they may have felt that there was a chance they would be retained.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought that he was going to make the same $6 million no matter what. So if Mara pays him 3 million, he will get 3 million from the Raiders. Maybe I misunderstood it. But if that's the case then why would Mara pay him since it's coming from the Raiders anyway? But again, maybe I misunderstood.

ESPN said any money he makes will offset the Oakland salary so why would any team pay him a lot when they don't have to? It is like Revis this year. He was getting paid a ton by the Jets and signed for peanuts with no guaranteed money with KC.

Hes not working for free. He wont get the amount hes getting from the Raiders. There is almost always offset languange in coaches contracts that gives teams some relief if they get another job. So whatever he makes as an NFL assistant coach, that amount is discounted and not paid by Oakland. Oakland will be on the hook minus what he gets from the Giants. Maybe he willingly takes a below market contract to screw the Raiders. Especially if he feels he was scapegoated for the injuries or shoved out the door for Chucky. Why not do his new bosses a solid by taking a below market deal.
My understanding of how it works with the Oakland contract:  
Big Blue Blogger : 1/21/2018 4:48 pm : link
First of all, the terms of his extension arent public, so we dont know for sure what the guarantees are or how long they last. Second, while its true that his new salary will be an offset against the guarantee, its unusual for the hiring club to take full advantage. Sometimes, a coach with a big guarantee will take a one-year consulting gig and work for free/cheap; but I think the protocol with full-time jobs like coordinator is to let the market dictate the price. I cant prove that, but I also cant think of an example of a team getting a big-name coordinator at a crazy bargain price because he was still being paid by his old club.

I think the point of the he wont be doing it for the money line is that Del Rio doesnt need to work to get paid, not that money wont be a factor if he has to choose between multiple offers.

The consistent teams are generally the ones with elite, mvp type qbs. Brady, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, etc. NYG fandom aside, its pretty obvious Wentz is approaching that sort of level. Hell, he was likely winning mvp this year before getting hurt. And if he does indeed become that sort of player, the NYG, Dallas, and Redskins essentially become everyone in the AFC and NFC North when Rodgers and Ben are healthy. And that is fighting for 2nd place. For me, this is the #1 reason why Im qb or bust in the draft. Wentz isnt going anywhere and Roseman will put a good team around him. The NYG must respond.

Wentz is certainly going to be around for a while, but with his style of play he might get hurt against. And they're not going to keep that defense around. With success comes guys looking for money and teams looking to poach their players. Guys pile up the injuries, guys slow down, GMs get overconfident and complacent. There's no sure things in this league except the patriots, and they only earned that through decades of beating that into everyone's heads.

their own mess and not worry about Philly at this time. Getting Shurmur and possibly DelRio is, hopefully, a good start. Thankfully this isn't a total roster gut job. There's some talent on this roster to build with. If the right guys have been hired, they can be right there again in relatively short order. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that Chip Kelly was making a mess of the Eagles either.

Del Rio was only a DC for 3.5 years - subtract 1/2 year for when he filled in as interim HC when Fox had health issues.

It that time he fielded two top defensive units.

I'm assuming the snarky question has to do with his time as HC instead of DC or you really don't know much about Del Rio, and even then, he had top 10 defenses 3 years in Jacksonville.

The one thing you don't want Del Rio to do is institute the "Keep chopping wood" mantra. Other than that, he's been pretty damn consistent.

In five of the past six years, Spagnuolo has either run a defense that was ranked 31st or 32nd in the league, or was a position coach with limited scope of responsibility. Two of those years as DC, he oversaw units that finished among the worst in NFL history.

So when you say you'd rather keep Spags, what exactly is that based on?
