It's a little cart-leading-the-horse that the Giants have selected a QB coach but not the OC. Wouldn't the QB coach be someone that the OC would normally hire?
Is it possible, then, that the Giants have already come to an agreement with the OC - and that the OC has given his approval for the other offensive coaches the Giants have hired - but that it hasn't been made public yet? Maybe because his team is still in the playoffs (or just finished the college playoffs)? Is it common for assistant coaches to be hired before the coordinator is hired?
Incidentally, other than head coach, I think this is the most important hire this offseason.
The answer could already be sitting in the building. *shrug*

Been going back and forth on that, but if that's the case, why haven't they just announced he's staying?
Absolutely. The only time this team has sniffed relevancy in the last 7 years, it was when their defense was playing great.

My concern, is that it is, in fact, Shula. He was already in the building and could have already given his thoughts on the new QB coach, which is why he was hired. It could be someone in the playoffs, but it may not be that secretive.

To be fair the team hasnt officially announced a single assistant coaching hire. It's all been second hand reports from media

If it were Shula, wouldn't they have announced it by now?
Possibly. But that's true for any OC we hire. It's either a possible stepping stone to HC or a way back to HC.
Either way, I'm more concerned that the OC is a good one than how long they'll be with the team.
If Shula remains the OC, he probably already is under contract anyway, and as such no big news expect to disappointed fans looking for a big name like Turner or Gruden or something.
My guess well.

Yup Shula has HC experience too. Damn its him
O'Shea would make sense based on the Schuplinsky hire. But then again what would be stopping the Giants from announcing that? Why did the Dolphins fire O'Shea, anyway?
I have to say I am surprised how long it took for the Giants to decide/announce that they were going to interview Shula for OC. It just kind of seems like that was something we would have heard early last week or not at all. Who knows though.
O'Shea?
Does this mean they'll pay half their home games in Miami?
Judge isn't going anywhere so the only opportunity would be to be a candidate in the next HC hiring cycle elsewhere.
I see the Bettcher hate. Shula may not be a choice that gets the fans excited, but you can do a lot worse than Shula, and if Jones is comfortable with him a ca see e can be made for it.
