Mike Lombardi on The Ringer podcast on Matt Patricia: "I was told Sunday night that Matt had the job" in Detroit ... "Matt will be the head coach of the Lions unless barring some unforeseen thing"

No mention of Patricia by name with the Giants there. He said Giants want an offensive coach and "I know who they would like to get, I'm not sure they can

“Michael Lombardi is an American football executive and media analyst. Until 2016, he was an assistant to the coaching staff of the New England Patriots and is a former analyst for the NFL Network and sportswriter at NFL.com.”

McDaniels is who I think he's talking about



Why wouldn't they "be able" to get McDaniels?

Sounded more like a Saban, Andy Reid, Sean Payton, or even Belichick (though he's not really an offensive coach) type comment.



If McDaniels wants the colts job, and the colts want him then that fits into Giants not being able to get him


It's a big "If" at this point in the process, all these sportswriters are throwing out all kinds of possible destinations for coaches.
OK, so here we go again!  
Simms11 : 1/10/2018 1:18 pm : link
Anyway, I still think it's, in priority:
McDaniels as 1
Patricia as 1A
Shurmer as 2
and Wilks as 3
I wouldn't take anything  
ryanmkeane : 1/10/2018 1:18 pm : link
Lombardi says at much face value. Especially on those podcasts, he says a ton of things without really saying anything.

That's all anyone is doing right now. Bunch of wild guesses to sound right.

Only people who know anything are 4 men. Tisch, Mara, DG, and Abrams.

I guess, maybe I'm reading more into the "not sure they can" phrase.

They can get McDaniels. If they want him and offer him a job and he turns it down, then they didn't get him, but nothing is stopping them from getting him.

I viewed the phrase "...not sure they can" as meaning not available, not available but chooses otherwise.

I'm probably over-analyzing it.

Obviously, I'm just throwing my opinion out there by how I read it. I also didn't know until I read on this thread that hitdog named Sean Payton as an interest of the Giants. That would definitely fit what you are describing.
Who would Lombardi be hearing from?  
Dan in the Springs : 1/10/2018 1:34 pm : link
Agents possibly. More likely beat reporters. I seriously doubt he's hearing it from the NYG hiring committee of DG, Mara or Tisch.

Anyway, lots of speculation still. If what he's saying is true though and we want an offensive guy, you'd imagine the top candidates would be McDaniels and Shurmur.

I'm wondering if the Giants F.O. is interested in Patricia and are the source of leaks today signaling interest in him. Can't wait to find out.
If NE loses this weekend...  
GFAN52 : 1/10/2018 1:36 pm : link
I guess all the coaching slots will be settled rather quickly then.

magnum4413 : 1/10/2018 1:42 pm : link
is they end up with Shurmur. I can't back that up though.

Caldwell...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/10/2018 1:46 pm : link
probably did his best work at Wake Forest, but he's inherited above average teams with above average QB's and has had mediocre results.

His greater value, IMO, would be as OC.

My assumption there would be maybe he wants Indy with Luck and more control and say in players than what the Giants would give? Again, that is an assumption on both it being McDaniels and what McDaniels might want.
I can think of an offensive minded

coach with strong ties to the Giants who is currently working for another organization so they might not be able to get him. Much more recent ties than Sean Payton.

Don't know for certain but that's the word among the beats.
What I'm saying..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/10/2018 1:54 pm : link
is that the Giants interviewed McDaniels and he hasn't taken another job yet, so saying they can't get him sounds like it is for a different reason:

I suspect the guy Lombardi is referring to as possibly unattainable is Defilippo.

why you guys are guessing. If uou listen he comes out and says that he thinks they want McDaniels and that he doesn't think they can get him because of the org structure...
Yes, DeFilippo

is a FA. We don't need permission. Even if we did we never even asked permission to interview him.

+2. And his best work was with Payton pretending to be the OC. Why not hire him then.

I'm no spring chicken anymore but can we avoid the AARP candidates please. Wilkes or either NE coordinator would be a lot better than him by a lot

If this is true I am wondering if Wilks wasn't very impressive during his interview.
If DeFilippo's contract is up  
Jay on the Island : 1/10/2018 2:43 pm : link
he would be a great candidate for either QB coach and possibly OC.

Yes. The Ringer podcast, as referenced in the OP.

I think yes, McDaniels wants more say over personnel.
Mike Lombardi continues to be useless.

If the Giants want an offensive coach, why have they interviewed defensive coordinators?
I like Lombardi, and find his insights  
Section331 : 1/10/2018 2:59 pm : link
invaluable, BUT he has repeatedly shown a fundamental lack of awareness about how the Giants operate. Any time he has talked about the Giants GM and HC jobs, he goes on about how the Giants are a traditional organization (which I agree with) that hires the GM and then lets the GM hire the HC (which I disagree with).

The GM certainly has a large voice in the room when it comes to hiring the HC, but the call is ultimately Mara and Tisch. This is fairly common knowledge, and for ML to regularly misrepresent it is odd. This is my long way of saying that I don't think he is plugged into the Giants at all.

Its like needing a car so while looking there are things you would prefer but cost and other factors do come into play. So they may prefer an offensive coach but if his cost is too high and the difference not that much between him and defensive guy then they go defensive.

I could definitely get on board with Patricia at HC and DeFilippo as OC.

The thing about Patricia that I like is that because he is so stats and mathematics driven I think he would hire very good people to do their jobs. It's the one thing that can make me overlook his coaching inexperience.
Maybe they want

Dan Campbell. We aren't getting Peyton from New Orleans, but we could get his right handman, and former NYG TE.

Peppers : 1/10/2018 3:11 pm : link
Its basically down to 4 people. I think its safe to say you can scratch off Spags and Studesville.

Leaves the NE guys, Wilks, and Shurmur. 2 offensive 2 defensive.

Lombardi has a 50/50 shot at being right about the offensive coach. Its a safe bet for him.

But pull yourself from the rumors/bull shit for a minute.. Do you really think Mara, Tisch, DG, or Abrams are telling anyone who or what they really want? Why and how would that even get out?

Its honestly common sense here. He's bullshitting like the rest of these guys.
