Josh McDaniels now down to Indy or the Giants. Indy likelier.
The NFL is an interesting business

we don't really know these people but we have some information. Based on what we know imagine what someone who would rather work for Irsay than Mara is thinking.
lets go asshats

The Colts job is a bad one  
Go Terps : 1/8/2018 12:41 pm : link
That is one of the worst franchises in the league. I know Andrew Luck is tantalizing, but his health is an enormous issue and even if he's fine the ownership still sucks.

I understand that the Giants' job may seem less appealing because of the structure of the organization...but the Colts? If McDaniels goes there he may not have the overall awareness to be an effective head coach.
Luck is damaged goods  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 1/8/2018 12:41 pm : link
and the Giants have the #2 pick.

The Giants job is only less appealing in the minds of the fanbase.
So we're going to dodge that bullet?  
Greg from LI : 1/8/2018 12:43 pm : link
Excellent.
Hes probably the fallback option here

Will give up control also
I think  
Sammo85 : 1/8/2018 12:45 pm : link
Irsay may go for Shurmur instead.
WE really know nothing  
Alwaysblue22 : 1/8/2018 12:45 pm : link
Except gossip by the MSM that is frequently FAKE NEWS. We will know who the coach is when he is hired.
Giants fans assume Giants can have  
joeinpa : 1/8/2018 12:45 pm : link
Their choice of coaches. Them chosing another team wasn t suppose to be part of the equation.
Please go to Indy

Less pressure in indy

Why is everything one extreme or the other here.

Do the Giants have thetir pick of the litter? No

Are the Giants lepers? No
He better hope Luck is healthy.  
Section331 : 1/8/2018 12:48 pm : link
It certainly could be that Indy held Luck out in order to tank, but I'd be wary of betting on his health.

First off, if Luck is healthy then it is great. If not, he would still have a young QB, with mobility who knows his system. I don't think the Colts are as bad off as some say here.
Going somewhere because of a quarterback is short sighted  
Go Terps : 1/8/2018 12:49 pm : link
Luck's (or anyone's) career can end at any moment. Brutal reasoning from McDaniels if that is indeed his thinking.

If Luck is the bait for him, I'm glad he won't end up here.
He wants a QB with a bum shoulder  
arniefez : 1/8/2018 12:49 pm : link
Who hasn't been able to throw for 18 months and Irsay instead of the Giants?
I'm awaiting confirmation from

Perhaps they mean he is down to those two as opportunities but not that either has offered the job yet. Maybe he pulled himself out of the running for other openings.
I think the Colts job  
Rflairr : 1/8/2018 12:52 pm : link
Is the least attractive job. No impact players on defense. Question marks on Luck. And a division thats getting stronger
give me Shrumer  
GMAN4LIFE : 1/8/2018 12:53 pm : link
.
That division is going to be tough for years to come  
Tom in NY : 1/8/2018 12:53 pm : link
Indy has Luck.
However, Jacksonville has the best defense (and they are very young), Texans have Watson and a solid, sometimes very good, defense, and Tennessee has the best running game/Oline plus Mariota.

McDaniels would be showing incredible confidence in himself to take that job, with that owner.

No, we learned that in 1993 when the Giants had to go down to their third choice for head coach.

Coughlin wasn't ready to leave BC yet, Wannstedt chose the Bears.
The Giants HC search isn't going the way we thought.  
81_Great_Dane : 1/8/2018 12:58 pm : link
McDaniels has HC experience. He flopped, but he has that experience.

Wilks doesn't. Patricia doesn't.

Shurmur was HC for the Browns, which almost doesn't count, and was interim HC for Philly.

Studesville has been Ass't HC as well as RB coach. (The "He's never been promoted" line isn't really true.)

None of these are "proven" HCs at any level. Judging by the list, that isn't the priority for the Giants that it seemed to be.

The only "proven" HC who seems to be in the mix at all is... Bill Belichik.

so Wilk(e)s is a big name?
so sounds like  
mphbullet36 : 1/8/2018 1:02 pm : link
unless by some miracle BB comes it looking like its coming down to

Wilks or Shurmur....I would love to get my hands on Shurmur's offense but Wilks does project like a Tomlin type coach.

I would be more concerned about was OC we pick with Wilks...if we get a young dynamic up and coming OC then Wilks would be my choice.
I think it's going to be Wilks or Schumer  
Canton : 1/8/2018 1:02 pm : link
I prefer Schumer but it's probably going to be Wilks.

And if it's Wilks, we'll obviously know by Tuesday night or Wednesday, so he can start hiring his assistants.
Plus I have read he wants personell control

Never will happen with the giants
Could be that Indy has made him an "offer" of some sort

and the Giants haven't
It must be in the NFL handbook or something

Wannstedt chose the Bears because he didn't want to coach in the same divison against his pal Jimmy Johnson. And he ended up sucking as a Head Coach anyway.

Nope..

According to TMS, Wilks has to be hired to stick with the PC movement.

Anyone who gives McDaniels total control again after what happened in Denver deserves what they will get.
