Former #Giants head coach Pat Shurmur is expected to be the #Broncos’ new offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet
. Deal not done but decision made on Shurmur’s end and it’s headed that way. Drew Lock gets a new OC.

Me too. Clearly not head coach material, happy he’s gone, but I don’t harbor any I’ll will.
Happy for Shurmur

He is a good OC and and good guy.

Compared to McAdoo, who has been content to collect his cushy paycheck from the Giants the last two years.
Amazing  
giantsfan227B : 1/12/2020 6:06 pm : link
How much interest there was in him.

Bears wanted him and with Stefanski moving on supposedly Vikings wanted him to. Maybe the NFL has serious thoughts about who was in the right between Shurmur and Gettleman.

Traditionally taking another job voids your previous contract.

I think it is more he has had success with a strong Head Coach in place as a OC. I am surprised they are sold on Lock but maybe they want his ability to develop and assess.

Most contracts for players/coaches have offset guarantees. What it means is that if $5M is still owed and the new contract pays $2M then the player/coach will still receive the $5M total in cash earnings, but the prior team will only have to pay $3M.

After the draft, you will read about players that aren't signed despite the draft slot dictating the pay. In most cases the players are holding out until they get no-offset language in their contract. This mostly affects 1st round picks where the contract is fully guaranteed. What the player wants is if they are released in the final year of their contract where they can sign a new contract with a new team then they will receive the full guaranteed contract dictated by their draft slot and their new contract.

I don’t know if this is correct but someone last week said that Shurmur still gets his money but the Giants get to deduct the new salary. So, let’s say the Giants have him under contract for $5 million a year. If his contract with the Broncos is for $1 million a year, then the Giants only have to pay Shurmur $4 million a year.

@AllbrightNFL

Drew Lock was one of Shurmur's favorites in the draft last year.

Dave Gettleman ultimately seleted Daniel Jones. Now Shurmur will get to coach Lock.

Shurmur always was a good OC..

Pretty sure this is correct. If it voided the previous contract then no ex-HC would take another job right away.
i mean, i wish him well and all, but  
japanhead : 1/12/2020 6:38 pm : link
how can anyone look at the playcalling and overall offense this past year or even 2018 and come to the conclusion that shurmur is a good offensive coordinator, let alone a great one?

is the logic really that he was so overwhelmed by being HC that that is why the NYG offense looked terrible much of the time?
Good form him. Glad he's not in Giants Division. Good guy.

for Lock. Shurmur isn't cut out to be an HC, but he's a craftsman working with QBs.

Smart move by Denver.
Do we subtract his Broncos salary

I would take their fired OC  
Mike in NY : 1/12/2020 6:50 pm : link
As QB Coach. He really got unheralded guys performing in San Francisco as QB Coach. He was in over his head as OC with all of the injuries.

He’s a good offensive coach he just isn’t a Head coach. He lacks presence to command the respect of players. Without that you aren’t an NFL Head coach.
Which one of you

As explained above, John and Steve will pay the difference. Shurmur will still get all the money that he is owed.
He is a very good OC but

Just out of curiosity, why does it matter to a fan if the team is still paying a former coach they fired? There is no cap on coaches.

Maybe Shurmur owes Dave some money.

The league understands what Shurmur can do for a young or under developed QB.

Giants fans don't give him nearly enough credit for what he accomplished with Jones this year.

Probably worth his weight in gold for the potential asset he’ll be to Lock
Shurmur is an excellent OC.  
BlueLou'sBack : 1/13/2020 12:47 am : link
Only the many idiots here dissected him for his play calling and other aspects of his OC work that was quite unjustified.

But he wasn't the right man for the HC job, especially here in NY with the Giants' tradition of tough nosed defensive clubs.

Good luck Pat.

lol I hate allbright so much. Makes it seem like Gettleman chose the guy Shurmur didn’t want even though Shurmur advocated for DJ.

Good for Shurmur though wish him the best. Some people are better off coordinators

did Shurmur a favor by playing as badly as he did the last two seasons... makes the 2017 Vikings look that much more impressive.
Who began this narrative that Shurmur is 'a nice guy'?  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/13/2020 7:31 am : link
He might be for all I know, but every other post says 'Well deserved. He's a good man' or 'Good guy'. Who really knows? I've never met the man. And all I've seen of him in the public eye indicates quite the opposite. He wasn't exactly Mr. Sunshine/Mr. Nice when it came to the media. Yeah, the media asked him ridiculous ?s, but I never came away thinking he was some swell individual. Again, he very well may be an awesome person, but I don't know & I don't think anyone here knows either.
He's painfully thin-skinned  
JonC : 1/13/2020 8:08 am : link
but I wouldn't confuse that with a being a nice guy, which is by most accounts.
