Next GM ideas...

If we're going to take the hammer to Shurmur then Gettleman needs to be next in line. He hired Shurmur and has a list of GM transgressions that many of us have exposed since his hiring.

Time to get younger and get someone who isn't tainted with the "Giants Way" virus.

How about Nick Caserio/Pats or Andrew Berry/Philly. Younger guys who are currently with winning organizations and are big data guys...

How many years to show improvement? Because this team looks just as bad as they were when this crew started.

DG really wanted PS? Mara wanted a coach with experience and he went the safe route and I am sure knowing they were drafting a QB soon played a part in it.

Time to get a Defensive coach.

This will severely limit the candidates we can hire, the young coach needs to be in complete lockstep with the GM.
I see DG drafting

a lot of talent. FAs have been hit or miss. Might need to change some position coaches. LB - simply not enough talent. Connelly was missed today

Whatever your opinions, get this through your heads.

1. This organization does not like to fire GMs
2. This organization does not like to fire head coaches
3. Mara does not want to fire a coach after two years, especially after the McAdoo disaster

No one is getting fired this season. Maybe Schurmur of year three is a dud. But despite all the criticism and hubub over relative draft value, Gettleman has drafted very well. Jury is out on Schurmur and Bettcher and will be until the team wins consistently.

It doesnt matter who we want or who  
Giantfan21 : 10/20/2019 5:08 pm : link
the next hot name is . Mara will pick some schmuck with giants ties maybe abrams and the a pick a moron for a HC like his other 2 beauties in mcadoo and shurmur.

Im pretty much at the point where i realize this franchise has no hope just like the knicks with dolan. IF your owner sucks, you have no chance
Most of Gettleman's mistakes so far...  
Giants_West : 10/20/2019 5:09 pm : link
appear to have resulted from what was most likely orders from ownership to attempt to compete with Eli at QB immediately. Those free agents and trades are the biggest black mark against him at the moment. However, most of those contracts were structured to be gotten out of over the next two off-seasons. SO we will have room to develop and grow around our QB of the future. So far his drafts have been productive and he has been more active in trading than we've seen in the past. I like the idea of what he seems to be trying to do and I think he's earned at least a couple more years.

That said, how he handles the coaching situation moving forward will go a long way towards defining his legacy.

OL sucked today but i think they are slightly improved. the secondary will be better, there are alot of young guys that need time to develop. We have a lot of young guys starting guys. need to be a little patient. connelly also looked like a winner at LB
DG wasn't around

when we hired another wco HC Mcadoo citing a need for Eli to throw 70% completion rate. Its pretty clear the problem lies with Mara/Tisch.

Betcher is growing on me, seems to be able to fix his mistakes. Cardinals offense were a vastly superior coached and disciplined team than the Giants, and he held his own. It was like the difference between night and day out there watching the two teams. Of course a lot of young players are getting game time.

Of course we know these traditions with Mara. But it doesn't mean we should just roll over and accept the continued incompetency.

Let me sure I understand this - we need to wait for Shurmur to win consistently before we pass judgment? Did you really write that with a straight face?

To add to this: If you keep firing guys quickly, the top talent won't want to work for you. Fans tend to overlook this piece of it. How you treat people who work for you influences which people you can get to come work for you. People talk. Everybody knows. You can try to overcome impatient, impulsive ownership and a quick trigger finger by throwing money at people, but that's not a good way to run any organization.

Every GM has that in the job description.

Now the owner may want final signature, but the GM has to have that power.
That's true, but it's like the old adage says:

You’re not listening or reading correctly

I said the Jury is out on this coaching staff and will be until the team wins consistently.

If that does not happen Schurmur is gone. But that’s not happening this year.

I’m not telling you to do anything and I’m not saying “we” need to wait for anything. I’m just telling you what we all know to be true. Mara is not gin going to pull the plug on this HC in season two.

Fans can “pass judgement” all they want. But no one at 1925 Giants Drive cares what a bunch of fans on BBI think. And you know what, in total they are a better franchise for it.

Here is the big dilemna and it depends on where one finds the truth.

When Eli was benched and the uproar it created in 2017 I believe 100% that Mara decided Eli would finish his contract.

They hired PS a supposed QB/offensive guru for the short term with Eli and then knowing they had to draft a QB he would be a good developer.

I think DG did his best to assemble a line but shortly into last year he realized how bad the roster was. Sure, some nice players but probably no one you win a championship with.

Is Mara going to shit can a respected football man and longtime Giant employee if these restrictions existed? I think Mara really pushed PS.

without much hesitation that Gettleman has been good in the drafts.

First, it's way too early to be declaring any of his draft picks a success or a bust.

Second, i believe there is too much weight being placed on the Saquon Barkley pick. He was the consensus best player in the draft - the way he is performing now is not very surprising.

The selections that DG makes late and outside of the 1st round are a better barometer of his abilities as a talent evaluator, and again it's too early to make that determination.

I agree with this. Gettleman is adding talented players which is the biggest challenge. The Giants need a staff capable of getting the most out of that talent.

shurmur/Betchter/shula are a clown show.

Yes.. I don't know why its assumed he drafts well.. we are looking like a 4-5 win team and we only won 5 games last year.. he then went on and changed Solders salary this year into bonus.. so we can't cut him next year without taking a huge hit..

I'll buy it that he has drafted well when we see the talent and the result on the field.. till then its all speculation..

Two for two means what? Gettleman got all is picks in on time?

We don't know what we have yet because there isn't enough data. Barkley is the only draft pick who has been legitimately great. And we shouldn't have drafted him.

Lawrence looks good, but it's seven games...

Gettleman supporters  
Marty866b : 10/20/2019 10:04 pm : link
I keep reading on this board about how wonderful a job Gettleman has done with the draft. Except for Barkley, who I can give you an argument against drafting him, tell me who are the other great impact players that he has drafted? I don't see anything special in ANY of his other selections at THIS time. It's way too early to evaluate some of these players but just because thy are playing, doesn't make them good players. I could argue that this roster is not any better then the one from two years ago. This is a game of results and the results have been the same for eight years now. We are fortunate not to be 1-6 and some here are content with the job this GM has done? Who do you think was a major part in the selection of this coach who we all now believe is not the answer at his job? I wish we could fire the owner but since we can't, I'd love a brand new regime from top to bottom. This team stinks!
