Let’s go outside the box ... maybe Garrett is not

but its been said the giants owners really liked Garrett since his time here holding a clip board.

instead of poking Gettleman with sharp tines on the pitchfork, the usual suspects will just use rusted, dull ones on Garrett and chant "The Giants Way" over and over again with each thrust.

The Giants have needed some help with evaluating players whether they're free agents or veterans on the team, and they also need big help with draft selections.
The state that the defense is in is disgraceful, not Giant-like in any way, shape or manner. The offensive line has also been a joke for nearly a decade, so I think it's time to think out of the box.
Even though Garrett is a former Giants player, he hasn't been with the organisation for a very long time. He was pretty good at evaluating the players on the Cowboys, in spite of the meddling from their crazy owner.

And chanting "Jints Central" all the while.

does it not.

Dallas has mostly underachieved or worse during his tenure. No indication he's been a key part of talent evaluation or has any ability to run a front office, etc.

Who cares? If the braintrust feels that Garrett would be a better option, why does Abrams matter? It's not like they haven't had ample time to evaluate his potential as a GM.

That said, I doubt this is why they met with Garrett. But if it was, it's because Mara thinks Garrett would be a better option than Abrams.

Yeah I don’t see him in a front office role with Abrams there.

it's pretty clear he's being interviewed for OC.

I’ll also be surprised ... being the HC in Dallas for 10 years made him almost royalty down there ... the charity he and his wife started have hosted Laura Bush and other A listers ... No kids, both highly educated, an OC gig at this point in their lives (mid fifties) just doesn’t seem right. ... but que sera, que sera,

Jerry and Stephan did all the player evaluation and team-building and Garrett was just expected to "coach'em up."

The team, yes. But his offenses, on the whole, were pretty good. He is not a good HC, but as an OC, we could do worse.

Frankly, I don't really know what people want. Mention Joe Brady, and people complain he's never been a play caller, etc. Garrett has been a play caller, and those offenses generally performed pretty well. My preference would have been Joe Brady, but we did not get him. So, on to the second option.

before Jones. You can’t get back to being HC from the Assistant GM seat.

I thought the same. I don't think we have any idea what kind of talent evaluator Garrett is. He might be okay as the OC but as a potential future GM, who knows.

I don't see Jerry Jones giving too much authority to his HC to pick players. If Garrett is coming here, it is as OC. No need to overthink it.

having such an 'accomplished' underling

there are no visible signs of insecurity about Judge. Anyone he interviews has to see things his way, ( the Pats way of being flexible and diverse). I’ve never gotten the feeling Garrett is that way. His offenses are very structured and predictable. Pretty good kind you, but not really a fit for what Judge wants. Remember, he said at his presser that they may throw the ball 50 times one week and run it 40 the next. I have my doubts that JG can run that kind of offense.

Thanks but that article was basically about a single draft pick. Granted it was a good pick but I still don't think Garrett had much influence and certainly not more (or maybe as much) as any other HC in the league.
