NYDN: Sounds like Patricia will be the next HC of the Giants

BeckShepEli : 1/10/2018 8:57 am
Per Pat Leonard
NYDN - ( New Window )
Maybe Gary Myers was right....

This is an interesting turn if what Pat is saying is true. I figured all along that Patricia was in the middle of the pack, but who knows.

Perhaps Wilks chose not to pursue Giants job further. Arizona has a much better D and superstar RB, good WR's.. They just need a VET QB (Alex Smith?) to come and be good....
This seems to me  
an_idol_mind : 1/10/2018 9:09 am : link
like the NY Daily News is circling its wagons around Patricia being the person. They've now got multiple stories from multiple authors all saying Patricia is the guy, but with no actual sources around it.

If they're right, they can crow about how they called it. If not, they can treat it like Patricia was the guy until the person they named blew the team away in interviews and surprised everybody.

Valid points. I'm thinking he may have blown them away in the interview process. That, coupled with his experience working with Belichick in terms of preparation and defense could be a big factor.

Perhaps they view him as a great X's and O's coach who comes from the Belichick coaching tree who has the demeanor to handle NY.

Powerclean765 : 1/10/2018 9:12 am : link
a genius and rocket scientist but what does he know about running a pro football team in NY? HC is a CEO not so much Xs and Os. Hes worked within the confines of the perfect little world Bill created up in Foxborough.

If hired, hes about to find out how difficult it is to create & maintain that atmosphere yourself.

Charlie Weis was a far more spectacular flop. He'll never coach anything valuable again. People still want McDaniels.

Saban and Ferentz are successful Belichick assistants. I'm sure you meant at the NFL level specifically but he does deserve that bit of credit.

maybe. story could be BS too. Leonard isn't exactly a scoop maven.

Whatever they do, let's hope they get it right. Otherwise we'll be having this dicussion again in 2 or 3 years.

But, what makes him so special? His defenses were ranked terribly under his supervision.

I suspect by week's end or early next week they will have a name.

I don't believe they can name a person still under contract until that person's team has ended their season.

If nobody is named soon, I would then suspect a Patriot's assistant, especially if Detroit and Indy name a HC that isn't a Patriot's assistant. Meaning if Det names Wilks and Indy names Shurmur (or some combo) that only leaves a Patriot's assistant for the Giants.

I feel the same way. Maybe the fact he's never been a HC leaves one feeling uncomfortable, especially after the McAdoo disaster - but other than that...there's really no reason to be so emphatically against him being hired. No one on this board knows enough about him.

Its actually been well documented as to what Patricia does to prepare his team. Seems to me you are just using the typical "its only due to the success of BB" to not want a guy. And that's fine, but I don't think every case is the same and there's a lot out there to dispel some of your reservations.

This PLUS he's been around all the anarchy that's swarmed the Pats of late which tells me he's likely qualified to handle NY. Anything can happen but his resume is much better than McAdoo's so that isn't something I'm going to let get me down on hiring another coordinator.
Could the Giants front office be leaking this...  
Dan in the Springs : 1/10/2018 9:30 am : link
on purpose? Rules don't allow them to reach an agreement directly with Patricia, maybe they're sending him a message that he's the front runner?

Why else would the front office leak info about how strong each candidate is?


And if they aren't leaking info, why else would the NYDN report this stuff? Are they just looking for page views?

How does that tell you anything when he's not permitted to speak to the media? Could be true, could be meaningless.

Nothing in this article suggests Patricia is a favorite here.  
Ivan15 : 1/10/2018 9:39 am : link
I think it will come down to who appears to be the best CEO type of coach.

Since we cant get a feel for that characteristic without being there, I still think Shurmur checks all the other boxes and fits best.
I think the CEO bit is overblown  
UConn4523 : 1/10/2018 9:43 am : link
and is stemming from a bad hire in McAdoo. That doesn't mean you do a total 180. You just do a better job of hiring the next guy and schemes, preparedness, X's and O's, etc are all a piece of the puzzle. I don't think that will be glossed over in these interviews.

No wise ass. You're saying he is equipped to handle pressure and scandles becuase of issues surrounding the Pats, and I'm saying you have no way of knowing that. All we really know about the Pats staff is that Belichick can handle all of these things. None of his assitants who have left have shown that they can handle the top job or these types of pressures on their own.

Leonard is not known to be particularly well connected - hard to believe he'd be the first among the beats to break this.

Given the lack of any signs provided in an "all signs point to" article, it's not entirely crazy to consider that Leonard is picking up "all signs point to" based on Myers' tweet (that the Giants prefer Patricia) and King's story (that Patricia prefers the Giants).

That's not to say that it's necessarily untrue, but with scoops at a premium for clicks, pairing Myers and King would probably be enough for Leonard to run with the story.

Of course Brown Recluse likes the HC candidate that looks like a recluse.

Patricia is brilliant by all accounts and he has suckled at the teat of the NFL's GOAT. Just not sure how this will translate into him being a HC.

He checks the box for being a seasoned coordinator, but after the McAdoo experiment, I would would be more comfortable with someone that has HC experience.

On the other hand, this mother fucker just throws off the Belichick vibe, so that has to count for something!

can't wait til Saban is the front runner tomorrow.

Why on earth would he do that?

are polar opposites:

On the other hand, this mother fucker just throws off the Belichick vibe, so that has to count for something!


Patricia is a gregarious guy and if he's in a bar, he'll take the place over possibly doing keg stands

Belicheck sips his scotch in the unlit booth by the corner.

He reminded Belichick of Belichick too Link - ( New Window )



This is awesome..

Quote:
Patricia told friends that, when he arrived, Belichick was still a pencil and paper guy, writing film notes by hand. Patricia helped digitize the Patriots film review system, just as he did at Hoffman. He ran a seminar teaching Patriots rookies the video system, gave older coaches basic computer training and showed the savvier coaches how to input data into spreadsheets, analyze it and incorporate the information into their weekly game plan.

Patricia told one friend that he saved Belichick two to three hours a day because the new system gave Belichick, a notorious film junkie, an easier way to study tape. Which gave Belichick that much more time to scheme and strategize for each weeks opponent.

Belichick started taking Patricia on scouting trips, giving him a glimpse into his world. [Matt] logged a lot of hours driving Bill around, says former Patriots lineman Matt Light, who is friends with Patricia. [Bill] wanted him close because he saw the value in a guy like Matt. People talk about players, but a really good coach? That may be more rare than an elite corner or quarterback or defensive end. Theyre very difficult to find in this league.

Exactly. I've always had a soft spot for egghead coaches in the Walsh/Belichick mode.

So did George Young, Thats why he chose Handley over Belichick.

it's clearly click-bait and an attempt by the Daily Rag to be "right" whether Patricia is the HC or not. Too many articles from that Toilet Paper touting multiple possibilities for them to be "wrong". Pretty pathetic actually.

Not yet, Stuff... he's telling us that "Belichick is still in play" in one of the pinned threads.

Guy is a complete clown.
Belichick's not coming  
moespree : 1/10/2018 12:40 pm : link
Though the radio guys in Boston today said they were starting to hear rumors that McDaniels was staying in NE. And apparently some of the NE beat writers said they believed that if Belichick ever decided to leave coaching and become a team president somewhere else, Patricia is the guy he would hire and not McDaniels.

But this is all radio rumors, so, yeah. But apparently most up there are pretty surprised by this report and never in a million years though Patricia would go to NY. So it's caused some buzz up there today supposedly.
No

I don't know what's come over me ..how could I have overlooked that! Seriously though, I don't pay much attention to him, I think it's rather amusing. Between you, me and the 4 virtual walls, I've warmed up to the idea of Wilks despite his lack of HC experience.
Smart move by the owners.

So true. But if someone suggested bringing back SB winning DC Perry Fewell the board would go crazy.
LOL..
