Mike Florio: “whispers around the league change is coming”

Ben in Tampa : 12/1/2019 7:47 pm
On FNiA

I don’t know if that’s total bullshit speculation, or if word is getting out the Giants are putting together their coaching list.

Let’s hope the decision has been made and Shurmur is out.

At least 2-5 idiotic calls per game where you’re screaming at the TV.. Routinely out coached. Not someone you run through a brick wall for...

We need that kind of guy. A real force at HC, a true inspiration as the head man. An innovator.
Your not kidding even the commentators called him out several times . 3rd and one brings in the ice cold FB who rarely touches the ball then uses the just activated Scott on 4th down reverse and fumbles how many times did they practice that . Then the crummy flea flicker without establishing the run ? Enough of this disaster don't even want to watch anymore

I can’t help but shake Eric’s first impression of him, “milque toast”... I didn’t want to believe that, but it has played out exactly that way.

I said earlier on another thread that the Giants will want to get out in front and control the narrative.

They are going to blame it all on Shurmur. You don't see Papa, Banks and Diehl questioning the GM...

Same thing with the general media. The Giants brass are leaking what they want leaked.

Even on here, I am sure that there are some posters who truly are planted shills for the organization. I find it quite interesting just how many posters suddenly turned on PS a few weeks ago. Must have been 20 or more posters all turning on Shurmur and defending Gettleman at the same time, many (not all) of these posters are new withing the last 3 months. Of course, not all of those accounts will be plants but I think some are. It is the Giants trying to contain the fallout by controlling the narrative.

Basically, its all Shurmur's fault, he is toast, and Gettleman is safe. To quote one of my favorite TV shows...

"All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again."



omfg, shills?

Are you guys seriously so arrogant that you think the Giants care enough about what you dumbfuck think that they hire shills to influence your pea brains?

Get over yourself.

You idiot, they want to control the narrative through every possible media outlet. Since this is open and free its an easy media outlet on which to put out their message. I am sure they do it on other message boards as well.

And yes they want to manage their fans, especially at a time like this. They run a business. We are their consumers. The last thing they want is to lose a large chunk of their consumers and a major revenue stream. EVERY multi billion dollar business manages their media perception. You are the fool if you don't realize it.

You know its funny you should say that... Actually Putin probably learned it from just about every corporate entity that has been doing this crap in the US for decades. You probably weren't around then, but back in the 90s, Pat Hanlon used to come on BBI and post Giants' spin all the time. He took quite a bit of crap for it and eventually stopped, at least stopped using his real account. I doubt the Giants as an organization have stopped posting their spin.

that said if mara ends up hiring some underachiever like garrett or mccarthy just because they have previous head coaching experience i'll shit in my hat.


Jones didn't have a good day today but the kid stays in the pocket (And there are many QBs,knowing what a turnstile Solder is,who would have "happy feet"),is as tough as nails & will only get better from Year #1 to #2. Any coach, looking for a HC job,would see Jones as a major positive!

Dabo Swinney has a $93 million contract with Clemson, with a $4m buyout, $6m buyout if he goes to Alabama. This buyout decreases every year. I don't see Rhule's buyout being bigger than Swinney's. My guess is that if he goes to the NFL the buyout is low single digit millions, like $2-4m

Is that the Giants are in such a blow it up position, again, that the whole switch to 3-4 could greatly impact and hinder who the Giants move forward with as next HC and/or GM.

Are the Mara's going to look at the partnership of Gettleman and Shurmur + Coaching Staff and provide the option to stay but fire the HC? Or will they let Gettleman make that decision?

If we keep Gettleman, you can almost certainly presume we're not hiring any HC that wants to run the 4-3 defense. We've invested way too much into 3-4 linemen.

If we let both go, then we hire a GM to hire a HC to run the 3-4? Or give them carte blanche for a full redo and risk setting back the development of Lawrence, Tomlinson, Carter, etc.?

This is such a mess.


Disaster. That said, Lawrence and Tomlinson would be fine as 4-3 DTs and it’s not like we have any LBs anyway. Still need 2 edge rushers and Carter isn’t one. Nows the time to change rather than waiting for another 3-13 season and firing Gettleman in 2020

Do both. I've been challenging the smug arrogance of the analytics Duo for some time now. And they've both said frequently that part of the reason they talk about things is so the Giants will see the posts and make changes.

They fully believe shills are here and that their voice has an impact.

If Shurmur finishes 4-12 he'll come back. They'll say the team showed signs of improvement and played .500 ball in the end of the year.
I don't think there is anything  
UConn4523 : 12/2/2019 9:04 am : link
Shurmur can do to stay. He can win out and it won't matter.

I genuinely feel that they've been so caught up in holding onto Eli that keeping everything in tact was the way to "make it work" but that's all done now.

I have to think that their world has been rocked by all of this and Pat isn't the guy to undo that. Nice man, bad head coach.

The only question I have is DG and whether Mara has the balls to drop the hammer on him too. I'd support that for a whole new reset and bringing in one of the top coaches out there. But that's the part i'm doubting happens.

if only because of continuity for Jones. Whatever Mara thinks, he also sees the number of young QBs ruined by having to learn too many systems too early.

He'll have another year with talent taken at the top of the round, which even he should be able to get to 5 or 6 wins. We'll see what happens after that.

One cannot assume the Giants will make any positive change until you see it. John Mara has done nothing to show he is anything more than an inherited wealth mediocrity.
Even a slob like McAdoo was able to convince John he was some kind of football genius.

Where have you seen that Rhule "has made it pretty clear he wants to go to the NFL"

Everything I have read says nothing of the sort. Especially since he signed the extension. The news seems to be more at the possibility of Rhule leaving for a bigger school not the NFL.

At the end of September he had an article in the Dallas Morning News paper saying he was happy with his current gig.

30 Million is an absurd number to pay for anyone who has not coached in NFL game. Picking a coach without NFL experience is a lottery in terms of it working out. Most of the time it doesn't and once in a while it does. To think Rhule would be a good coach is a long shot (as it would be with any non established candidate), to pay 30 million for that lottery ticket would be insane.

Either way. He is not coming to the Giants. If anything. He will get an offer or two from some of the bigger schools that are now or will be looking in the near future.
