There's absolutely no way you can bring back Shurmur

Anakim : 11/4/2019 11:11 pm
NO. FUCKING. WAY.

And fuck Gettleman too. But I want to focus on this piece of shit head coach of ours. Shurmur, who along with Spags, Gus Bradley and Hue Jackson are the losingest head coaches in the 21st Century. HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU JUSTIFY BRINGING HIM BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR?


Here's a question I have: locker room culture is important, right? And the head coach generally sets the tone for that, right? So how the hell can you have "good" locker room culture (whatever the hell that means) when you have ONE OF THE WORST HEAD COACHES (BY RECORD) IN NFL HISTORY? How are you going to tell not only the players but the fans that we're committed to winning and yet have Pat fucking Shurmur as your head coach?

You don't fire someone for the sake of firing, but I defy anyone to give me one reason, ONE MEASLY REASON, why Pat Shurmur should be the head coach of the New York Football Giants in 2020. Why someone with a record of 17-41 should continue to lead this team.
Can't wait wit til they replace him

They will not fire him because they wont want to damage Jones' development. He's getting another season.
This team does nothing well.....  
Reb8thVA : 11/4/2019 11:15 pm : link
They are poorly coached. They can’t execute. They are unpleasant to watch and there are no indications they are improving.

i cant wait

until hes back so I can hear your cry for another year

Yeah, running for his life and throwing 5 yard outs is the grooming he needs. Stay the course!

That is the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard (nothing against you, TTH). How about DJ develop with another coach? Doesn't it make sense to have it sooner rather than later?
I thought things would have to go drastically bad in 2019 to fire him  
Torrag : 11/4/2019 11:17 pm : link
They are. We'll see how the rest of the season evolves. Right now I'd say it's a 50/50 proposition if I was handicapping it. If we can't beat Miami or the jests that should seal his fate.
He won’t be back..  
Sean : 11/4/2019 11:18 pm : link
But, they need to go big. With all due respect to BBI posters, there were a lot of people clamoring for Adam Gase & Hue Jackson in 2016. So many of these guys fail.

I would explore Belichick, Savannah, Lincoln Riley, etc. can’t afford another failed HC hire.
Changing offenses is generally not  
Ten Ton Hammer : 11/4/2019 11:18 pm : link
Good for a QB.

Now add that the organization likes Jones. Hes everything they want.

So they will justify keeping Shurmur another year because of wanting to do right by Jones.

And when next year sucks, then they'll fire Shurmur. The giants do everything 1 year after they should.
The organization needs a reboot  
jcn56 : 11/4/2019 11:19 pm : link
Top to bottom. Only the owners should be left standing, and they wouldn't have personnel titles.
Bottome line the coaching is not there..  
prdave73 : 11/4/2019 11:19 pm : link
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize this.. The Cowboys have coaches, and the Giants don't period! It was really evident in tonight's game. It was bad. It's like the Giants entire coaching staff from top to bottom is awful. It's just embarrassing now..
Can they remove Mara and Tisch too

because until you have a few billion to buy your own franchise your voice doesn't mean shit. don't like it? stop watching... or buy your own sports team

Mara will have his annual media day to start the offseason where he will spew the staples of the last few years....

"nobody is angrier than me", "nobody is more frustrated than me", "next year we need to see progress" and his personal favorite...."everyone is on notice"

He'll say this over and over in a press conference, then he'll say it in one on one print interviews, then he'll say it on radio interviews, then you won't see or hear from him again.

Rinse, wash, repeat. Every year.

History says it takes longer than a year.
I'm at the point where I'm hoping we tank the rest of the season  
Zeke's Alibi : 11/4/2019 11:30 pm : link
So we actually have HOPE they fire Shurmur.
Shurmer is not safe  
DavidinBMNY : 11/4/2019 11:31 pm : link
the team is worse then last year.

I think they will fire Bettcher and hire a play caller.

Shurmur probably gets 1 more year.

But Gruden sitting out there is intriguing.
After they get beat by the Jets  
Rflairr : 11/4/2019 11:32 pm : link
They’ll likely make the move.
id fire shurmur  
BleedBlue : 11/4/2019 11:32 pm : link
i dont blame DG as much as everyone else here. the team is void of talent, but it has enough talent to not be this unprapared and dominated.

Time to start putting out feelers...

Shurmur vs Garrett, Bettcher vs Marinelli??? Lmao.. Absolutely no comparison! This has been the key reason why the Giants have been failing ever since Coughlin left.. period.
I think Shanahan's success this year

Add me to team tank. I don’t want there to be any bullshit justification for keeping this clown around another year.

He’s simply not head coach material. Go back to Philly and run drills with Carson Wentz.
It's true:  
81_Great_Dane : 11/4/2019 11:37 pm : link
There is absolutely no way I can bring back Shurmur.

Not so certain about Gettleman, Mara and Tisch though. They absolutely can and probably will.
Gettleman  
Marty866b : 11/4/2019 11:38 pm : link
Has had two years to improve this team and it hasn't gotten any better. Let's not forget the GM who hired this coach that everyone here wants to get rid of. Time to rebuild with a new GM who can hire his own coach. Seen enough of Gettleman and Shurmur.

WillVAB : 11/4/2019 11:43 pm : link
This will be a critical off-season with decisions that will need to be made cutting players, signing players in FA to big money, and the draft. I don’t want this staff having any influence over those decisions. The last thing this organization needs is “system fits” pushed by a trash staff who aren’t worth a shit signed to bad deals.

joeinpa : 11/4/2019 11:46 pm : link
Until the Giants get an offense line that is not dominated by the defensive front of most opponents, and a defensive line that is not dominated by the offensive line of most opponents, we will continue to have these discussions about the head coach of the New York Giants, whomever that might be.

For the record I am not advocating for Shurmur, just don’t believe he s the main problem.

They're both white guys with laminated pieces of paper in front of them. Kyle's has actual plays on it while Pat's has just two words in big, bold letters...

Gettleman is family he'll be back.

The roster IS an issue, it's full of kids, but it's Shurmur's job to actually develop them. Nobody's getting better on this team. They're getting worse.
Look how

It's so bad right now.

So bad.

And the D fell apart late but played better than the O did. Marinelli horribly outclassed Shurmur. We finally get Barkley the ball in space and he rumbles for 65 yds. Where is the creativity with Barkely?

I don’t think the DL is the problem. The problem is that the DC is married to a shitty 3-4 scheme when the starting LBs suck dick.

The DL held up pretty well tonight vs one of if not the best OL in the league. None of the LBs could make a play.
A QB whisperer does not  
mrvax : 11/5/2019 12:12 am : link
a head coach make.

I'm not a fire the coach type person. Either Shurmur and Bettcher are really bad coaches or we need to replace 90% of this team. Both have to go.
tonight's game was on Shurmur? really?  
bc4life : 11/5/2019 12:13 am : link
got beat by a better team. made some costly mistakes. very young team.

think biggest issue is the LB corps. Many of Elliot's runs started ut bottled up by DL then he squiorts trough becaise of second leevl of defense. and no pass rush - cannot let any QB sit back there and not get sacked, not get knocked down

OK, bring him back, but demote him to quarterback coach. Get a real head coach, and of course you need both offensive and especially defensive coordinators. The special team coordinator can stay.
