Ownership

They're the best.

and let him pick the GM and HC.

I think having Parcells over see the football operations would be more attractive to a potential GM and HC

Mara needs to step a side

I've said this same thing for years, however I don't think Parcells would want to oversee Football Operations as he's in his 80s now. That said, perhaps I'd bring him in as a consultant though.

Parcells is 175 years old.

would really be a shame if he's not involved in picking the next QB

John Mara is a COLOSSAL failure in that role. There is no rule that the CEO needs to have noble blood. You are allowed to hire capable people for the position. You bring an executive search firm in for that.

The issue here is like mentioned above, in the past "outside" consulting has meant running it back with Ernie. Mara has shown no ability to remove himself from decision making. But yes, it would benefit the team if ownership just accepted the good fortune of being born into ownership of an NFL franchise and that it doesn't mean they're good at football operations.

Chasing glory days by bringing back Parcels is not the answer. Keep in mind, Schoen is a Parcels guy. Also didn't Miami basically do that with him to no results? If anything returning back to the well has been a source of problems for the Giants. Need more outside thinking.

All that said, I'm not settled on whether they should clean house or not. It's hard to know just how much has been independent decisions versus forced ownership mandates, which is the root of the problem.

Agree, the Board would have to relieve Mara of his duties, which probably would have happened already if this was any other company. The Tisch and the Mara families hold most of the positions on the Board.

I am willing to say that Accorsi's decisions put our success in motion for championships in '07 and '11 despite Mara's involvement as CEO.

Will be a consultant until they fire everyone and he takes over.
