I totally forgot about that game. The Eagles beat the Giants 35-30 last game of the 2015 season. Shurmur was the HC after taking over for Kelly and it was against Coughlin. I also went back to look at Shurmur’s teams when he was with the Browns and he was working with a really bad roster. Especially on offense with QB, RB and WR. Don’t know who would have succeeded with that group. I just get the feeling he will have better success the second time around.
This idea that Belichick was an abject failure with the Browns is a narrative I disagree with.
His final season with the Browns leaving Cleveland has to be discounted nobody was going to have success with that mess.
But the year prior he was beginning to turn them around

36-44 with one winning season followed by a complete collapse. Hardly a success.
Impossible conditions for a coaching staff.
He was building a winner. I'm sure he was learning on the fly but he was building a winner.
