He and Gettleman have worked well in the past.
McCaughey can keep Special Teams.
Shula can keep offense.
Rivera can rebuild defense....and has run both 4-3 and 3-4 schemes. He'll bring in a new defensive staff.
Rivera's family lives in NJ& gt;
There are some key available UFA's that Rivera can bring in. Darryl Williams at Tackle and James Bradberry a veteran CB who Rivera drafted.
Does this not make too much sense?
Shurmur has been a complete failure.
We need to bring in Turner to make this marriage work.
He did well with a rookie non-descript Qb for a while as well as really took advantage of McCaffery who is a 2 way back like Barkley.
A simple response yet it caused me to spit coffee.
This would be a half measure. The team has gotten worse since DG got here with no light at the end of the tunnel. You hire a new GM (preferably someone who has no ties to the Giants organization) and let him hire his new Coach/Staff.
No, no, these are fruits we must not dream of.

You mean the lofty heights of 4 playoffs in 8 seasons? Or maybe a SB appearance? Or perhaps multiple division championships?
Jim Fassel made a Super Bowl and won a Coach of the Year award too - wanna hire him?
I want one of the first two draft picks.

he's a proven winner and you can compare his record against other proven NFL head coaches and there aren't many better. Most franchises would take 4 playoff appearances in 8 years....you wouldn't? Not everyone can be the Patriots.

I neither agree nor disagree. But Greg I have not seen you post which direction you would like to go (I'm sure you have but I have not specifically seen it).
Who do you like for FO and coaching staff?
Barkley ran hard and we actually have a FB.
No, no, these are fruits we must not dream of.
Agreed. It's either Bellicheck or riots.
Your move Mr. Mara
I've answered this question each of the multiple times you've asked it. It's not my fault that you never bother reading the answer.
How about we fire Gettleman and do a full-on search rather than just conveniently hiring someone with connections to our failed GM.

For those of us who didn't see it, could you throw us a bone?

Haha, you expect a reasonable answer?
Obviously, the search should seek out the best available option. If that is Rivera, so be it. They aren't going ignore someone they think is a better option. Opinions on whether DG/Mara can identify the best option may vary. But 'we could do worse' is valid when the worse is keeping PS.
I think he's a good coach. My problem is that he's the kind of guy I would have wanted instead of Shurmur (hindsight). Now having seen Shurmur I want someone younger and more innovative. As much as our defense sucks we invested heavily in our offense and don't have much to show for it. We need someone to do what Shurmur can't and hire a good DC so that there's a good separation of power.

Agree with this. If not Turner then someone else. No to Shula.
They also need to shoot higher than Williams and Bradbury. There looks to be much better quality available in FA worth spending on.
+1. DG might agree to hire him, but I think it's another average coach and uninspired hire.
you can't convince me 8-8 wouldn't be met with ecstasy. mediocre would have had us in the division hunt.
another swing and a miss will be sheer agony, so I can certainly understand if DG/Mara go a safe route. We've been horrible so long, mediocrity looks good to fans and businessmen alike.

Jim Harbaugh? Urban Meyer?
His defense is becoming atrocious again this year. Have you seen their scores of late? Teams seem to be scoring much easier against them as the season wears on.
