Ben Volin of the Boston Globe said an NFL insider thinks Gettleman will be out as GM. Also NFL sources think Shurmur will be fired also.
One insider predicted that at least five or six GM-type jobs will open up, after only two changes last year (Raiders, Jets). Washington’s Bruce Allen, the Giants’ Dave Gettleman, Jacksonville’s Caldwell, Denver’s Elway, and Atlanta’s Thomas Dimitroff are in trouble, with Detroit’s Quinn and the Rams’ Les Snead as long shots.
There was unanimous consent that the following head coaching jobs will come open in addition to Washington and Carolina: Atlanta, Dallas, Jacksonville, and the Giants. Dan Quinn’s Falcons have been a massive disappointment; the Giants have regressed under Pat Shurmur; Doug Marrone, GM Dave Caldwell, and executive vice president Tom Coughlin are in big trouble in Jacksonville; and nobody’s seat is hotter than Cowboys coach Jason Garrett. |
The first sentence in the quote says an NFL insider. So I don't think it's his opinion.

Being an insider doesn't automatically mean its based on anything specific. He predicts 5 or 6 openings so my question is the same for those as well. Is this a gut feeling or rooted in some actual substance?
I think they'll work out a timeshare to all get Ron Rivera and his uncanny halftime speeches.
BBI, hopefully.
Prediction =/= opinion, unless we're talking about your predictions on the future of cryptocurrency.

Ha, you got that right. There will be no shortage.
Unlike some, even though I have not agreed with every Gettleman move, I don’t think he should be fired. He’s made good moves and bad moves. I’m in the camp that thinks our biggest problem (between management, coaching, and talent) is coaching.
I don’t think this needs to be a rush. If anything, it should take time. The hopes would be this hire if made would be here for the next 10-15 years, don’t rush it. Also, we’d have to wait until the playoffs are over anyway to get full access to all possible candidates.

Yup, hopefully as you suggest, they won't make a move because there might not be enough enough people to fill all the open roles...
Corect
I promise to make you pride and to restore Giants Pride
But this is too forward thinking for Jints Central - to fire their beloved Accorsi's recommendation after two year. So I expect Gettleman to return and continue to drive this organization deeper into the sewer.

How many times has a guy who were both HC and GM worked out in the NFL? Serious question.
How do you think it's going to look and feel in the Giants draft room and on the draft shows when the Jets make that early 3rd round pick and Williams has signed somewhere else?
Takes time.
Young went
6-10
4-12
9-7
4-5 (strike)
3-12-1.
Gettleman gets another year, with a competent coach. Yeah, he picked Shurmur. Now he gets to pick another..........

Every post. Every single post you just just copy and paste the same shit.
Now we actually want the HC and GM to be one in the same? I remember when this notion terrified everyone here.

Odds are Mara picked shurmur.
Right, because bad teams never turn things around.

You think? I'm not so sure......but if the case, then DG should be granted the opportunity to pick his guy.

George Young operated in a completely different era, prior to free agency, 40 years ago. So unsurprisingly, the expectations for the two are very different.
They don't when they have Mr. Magoo running the show.

Zing. Nice one! Still bullish btw. :)
What do they mean by insider? The local beat writer know shit.

So? Look at his record.....that's pretty damning but everyone knows he was a good personnel guy.
His five year rebuilding plan would be shipped right out of BBI today.
I'm curious...so free agency is supposed to make you instantly competitive?
He's out of here.

i'm not sure why this is such a good idea to some. theres only so many guys who can pull this off.

as long as im assisting...you got my vote LOL
+1.
He's looking good now, at least this year.
Not saying the Giants do that leap next year, but DG deserves a third year and a more competitive HC.
Rip it down after 2020 if the team doesn't make a jump.
I wanted the arrow pointing up in 2019 regardless of record and the team obviously isn't there.
I'm not leading the DG charge, but I think he needs another year.

Not as often as it should because it's not the standard way of running football operations in the NFL. The NFL has always fallen back on this infrastructure of Owner/GM/HC. Right?
Well, maybe that way of thinking is a relic. And it needs to change. It's not the perfect example, but a HC in the college ranks chooses his players, not the AD. Right?
So I'd prefer to have the coach pick the players to fit his scheme and who he wants to coach. And not worry about some superfluous guy being a firewall for the future...
He's out of here.
Here's hoping you're right.
He was seen as a bridge to Abrams. Well, that old clown burned down the fucking bridge. Time for him to leave and the organization to have a massive overhaul.
