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

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.

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.

I dont see ownership putting up a fight over it. Wilks is the guy.
Accorsi didn't want Coughlin and look who the Giants hired...Coughlin
Reese reportedly wanted two other candidates over McAdoo. I hope Mara doesn’t force anyone on Gettleman unless it is Belichick of course.
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.
There is no experienced guy out there like that . They don’t appear to be interested in Harbaugh or Cowher

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.

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.
Your posts have been absolutely nauseating.
There's plenty of other places for bullshit like this. Not here please.
PC shit.
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.
