Albright: “Arrow pointing up with Garrett to NYG”

bigfrank612 : 1/16/2020 12:19 pm
He says Garrett to NYG is looking good, while Shula to DEN is likely if it ends up this way. Ben Albright is usually tuned in pretty good and he is very well connected into the Broncos thinking.

Only thing I’ve seen him wrong with  
Saos1n : 1/16/2020 12:22 pm : link
Is him saying Garrett was our back up plan to Rhule. Perhaps, that was before the Judge interview.

He is def tuned in

an experienced sounding board for Joe Judge. The part that isn't ideal is that Shurmur and Shula were the core developers of Jones and did a good job with him. I'd have preferred to keep Shula around in some capacity but that seems unlikely now if he has an offer to join Pat in Denver.

Can’t agree with you on that. He has broken quite a few stories, sometimes months in advance. I can see why someone wouldn’t like him. Kind of brash. Sometimes arrogant, but he’s got connections

Torrag : 1/16/2020 12:40 pm : link
Shurmur is well known for his coaching of QB's and Shula was literally his QB coach. So we absolutely know they were key parts in training Jones. You want to add Eli in the mix as well that's fair.
I don't hate it  
madeinstars : 1/16/2020 12:40 pm : link
But my biggest concern is that he hasn't been an OC since 2010 or something. How creative is he going to be designing plays?

Also I don't really like the prospect of pairing him with Barkley. As an OC a big knock on Garrett was that he got away from the run way to much. Also I'm not sure he is the one to design plays to get Barkley in space.

That last part is so overblown. Throughout training camp and the season, Jones, when asked by reporters about the influence of Eli's mentorship and/or who had been especially helpful to him, he responded consistently in referring to Tanney, Shula, and lastly, the guys in 'the room'. On occasion when pressed, he said, yeah, Eli has been great.

Alex Tanney, right?
Garrett is widely known to be a subservient pushover  
Ben in Tampa : 1/16/2020 1:00 pm : link
so I have zero concerns about him overshadowing, politicking or going rogue on a strong willed Joe Judge

This would be an exciting hire. I think Jones would excel in an offense similar to the one Garrett ran with Romo in the Wade Philips era

I'm not necessarily defending the guy, but I think a lot of that was Kellen Moore being pass happy. And, in all fairness, Zeke won the rushing title a couple years ago and has been at the top of scrimmage yardage since he's been drafted. I'm not saying he always used Zeke correctly, but Zeke got touches there.

Yea - I've been following him pretty closely the past few years. He gets into fights way too much over who broke a story first, but he's generally right and doesn't post stuff for the hell of it.

That said, he generally doesn't break Giants stuff. He's most plugged in with the Broncos though.

I hope they don't let this linger, although I guess it could potentially given there have been rumors the Giants may be targeting an assistant or 2 for OC who is coaching this weekend. Imagine waiting until next week and missing out on Garrett and THEN also missing out on whoever they have in mind. Yikes.

Exactly why I like this hire so much. Garrett has to have little ego to be able to put up with and survive Jerry Jones for 10 years. I mean isn't he the longest tenured Cowboys coach by far since Jerry took over the team?

Having to take a backseat to Judge I'd imagine wouldn't bother him. He's really the ideal experienced coordinator to have for a 1st year HC.

He's still been in the league though, so he's seen all of today's offenses from the perspective of game planning against them. And, going from head coaching to coordinator gives you a lot of time to focus on just your unit.

Though I think the idea of "designing" plays is a bit overblown. Situational playcalling and execution is what wins. On a week to week basis, you're not seeing teams put up points because of flashy, never before seen types of plays.

on the staff. He checks every Mara wet dream as a coach. There's no doubt in my mind he'd be the HC if they thought there was anyway they could sell it to the fan base.

Garrett has basically been a figurehead for 10 years. The NFL moves in dog years. His offense is about 70 years old. If that's who Judge wants I'm all for it. But this smells like Mara meddling. If it means that they get Callahan as OL too it might be worth it.

Let's say you're 100% right. Mara pushed for Garrett and Judge agreed.

Who cares? If it's a good move, then it's a good move.

I'd rather have a good OC with poor motivations behind the hiring than a crappy OC with great motivations.
Mara was asked specifically  
an_idol_mind : 1/17/2020 8:59 am : link
whether the Giants were interested in having Garrett on staff, and he said the following:

Quote:
It's going to be up to Joe ultimately who he brings on as an offensive coordinator. I certainly wouldn't have any objection to that. I have a lot of respect for Jason. At the end of the day, that's going to be Joe's decision.


I can buy that Mara or Gettleman might have suggested that Judge take a look at Garrett, but all evidence points to Judge making the final decisions on his staff.
