It's been rumored for a few years that there is friction between Kraft, Belicheck and Brady. If for whatever reason, if Belichick is available, should the Giants revamp their whole front office structure and hire Bill as both GM/Head Coach?
with the intention of landing one specific player in the draft, then I can hold out hope that the greatest DC in Giants history and best coach of all time decided to come back home to finish up his career.
Ain't gonna happen, but if you're going to dream, might as well dream big.
Even if it's only for 3 years, that's 3 better years than you would have with anyone else. And hopefully his intelligence, curiosity, and organizational structure would rub off on others. It could have positive long term impact on player, ownership, etc.
It would also make things more interesting as a fan. I would be curious to see what he could/would do here. Considering how boring this team has been for a long time, that alone might make it worth it.
He was about 130 when the Bills brought him back. In fact, I'm not sure he was still alive. It may have been the zombie Levy.
Seriously, I'm on both sides of the issue. Belichick is certainly in the discussion for the greatest coach ever in the NFL. That would be reason to get him. However, he might look at the talent level on this team and say to himself how did I get myself into this mess?
Remember, Vince Lombardi didn't have a winning season with Washington. Hank Stram didn't do much winning in New Orleans. Great coaches can't make champions out of lousy players.
Bill will be 67 next year. While it doesn't instantly disqualify him, you never know when someone will reach the point of diminishing returns. Also, it's very likely there's a contract in place which means compensation to NE in order to release him. Can't count on Kraft doing BB or NYG a solid. Last, at his age you have to wonder if he's up for the challenge of rebuilding NYG without a QB in place.
Didn't the NFL make compensating teams for coaching hires Â
Not to mention that nobody knows BB's contract structure - it's been long rumored that he doesn't have a long term contract, just a year to year contract that he could walk away from easily.
His age would certainly be a concern, but the big question mark there seems to be his son. I would imagine BB wants to set up his son somewhere, and the Pats seem to be earmarked for McDaniels when he steps down.

doesn't make it a good, sound decision either. Some of his own comments are revealing in terms of being behind the modern curve, imo. Not that this would be an issue for BB, but it's just to say you don't know how long he'll be able to keep up the pace.
As to his contract, I don't know for sure but the beat info I've heard a few times is that this data point isn't being reported in full truth by the media.

Nope - Vince Lombardi was 7-5-2 in his first season in Washington before unfortunately dying of cancer. They went to the Superbowl a few years later so it's clear he put them on the right path.
Belichick though? As pointed out, I'd be concerned it would just be a way for him to try to set his son up. I'd want him to bring his whole organization if he did come back, since I am highly suspect of the Giants scouts. And he'd have to get rid of Chris Mara.

. No. The Patriots
compensated the Jets when they hired BB. And the Bucs compensated the Raiders to get Chuckie.
he's a numbers guy, as far as I know. Not sure he's got the actual football/scouting accumen or not.
Hiring Abrams would be an outrage of the highest order. You don't hire a glorified CPA with zero "football" experience to run your franchise, no matter how swell he is and how much everyone thinks he's a nice guy.

It's been speculated that's the plan, not heard of any change as yet. Let's hope the continued sucktitude convinces Mara it's time for more progressive measures.
Not at 66 I didn't realize he was that old .
Gonna tear it down again ?
I just don't see that happening unless DG has another
setback . Shurmur is totally dispensable at this point .

If we're willing to pay Beckham, or Eli, or anyone else $100M against the cap then Belichick is worth a billion dollars in an uncapped situation.

Age didn’t seem to matter with Gettleman.

This is a fun fantasy at best.
