Thanks Defender. Twitter is blocked at work so I can't copy and paste tweets.
with Linehan as pass game coordinator and Callahan as OL coach and run game coordinator would be a meeting of the offensive minds from the 2014 Dallas team that went 12-4 and lost in the divisional round to Green Bay on the Dez no catch call.

It hasn't really been made clear whether or not there is still bad blood between Garrett and Callahan. If they've patched things up, I'd have to imagine Callahan would be intrigued to be a run game coordinator of an attack featuring Barkley.
Have to love how JM and DG keep forcing these interviews on Judge. He is obviously not his own man. You can see JM's and DG's fingerprints all over the Graham signing. I've heard that DG will be wearing a headset and will be able to call the play into the QB next season.....
Linehan once shook Mara's hand.
This interview is being forced by Mara and DG.
FMiC, rationale for that? If the Garrett notion otherwise (than from Mara/DG pressure) makes sense as experienced former HC and prior ties to Linehan, how does interest in the latter not pass smell test?

Yes, and it is also pointing to a full news dump when it all happens in one swirl. Ie- I could see them just announce Garrett, Callahan and Linehan at once and get them all ready to go to the Senior bowl next week.

Furthermore, practices start Tuesday and that's probably more important than the actual game. I'd have to think the Giants will wrap up their staff this weekend and they all head out to the Senior Bowl.

Yes, because someone named Joe Judge has had such a working relationship with someone named Jason Garrett...
that it is not humanly possible for the Owner and GM
to ask the baby HC to interview Garrett.
Since both have had a relationship with Garrett in the past, just saying. Is that 'haiku' working?
(From other thread)
That is how it works, okay, got it, sounds like FTL.
As folks have already pointed out, a Garrett-Linehan-Callahan offensive "braintrust" would be like putting an old Cowboys band back together.
But I wonder if Callahan would be willing to accept a demotion all the way back to position coach. And as Yankee28 pointed out, there is some tension between Garrett and Callahan.
Looking at their bios... interesting to note that all three have been NFL head coaches. Also, Callahan has coaches for every NFC East team except the Giants.

Eric, they don't need Linehan.
They hired a QB coach, wouldn't mind Callahan with Garrett, need some coaches around here.
That coaching staff sucked that Shurmur had,
lets be real around here, LOL.

@toddarcher
He oversaw Tony Romos best season in 2014 and Dak Prescott won Rookie of the Year with him in 2016. Plus DeMarco Murray and Ezekiel Elliott won three rushing titles. Didnt end well in Dallas but he was better than folks care to admit.
No Linehan. Actually, I like Callahan and no Garrett. Garrett has experience and nothing else. Never won anything in Dallas with talented teams. I have no idea who else is being looked at. I wonder how much input Judge has on the Garrett situation.

I think it's pretty clear that Garrett has already been hired as OC.
Be that he is coming in as the passing coordinator and maybe Garretts successor if he gets a head coaching gig next year,
Having experienced options / line of succession would be nice. Keeps things consistent if they are successful and lose the OC. If it doesn't work they will probably be fired anyway. But you may also attract the Callahans/Linehans of the world seeing a chance to move up in the organization and potentially out

Can we just trade offensive lines as well....can't do that? That certainly helps the cause.
That both Linehan and Callahan would take pretty significant demotions to coach an abysmal Giants team.
If you want to stay employed in the NFL, then sometimes you have to take whats offered.
This all is starting to appear like Garretts influence. Im wondering why theres been no announcement of him as OC? They announced Graham quickly, without hiring his whole staff?!
Yes, and it is also pointing to a full news dump when it all happens in one swirl. Ie- I could see them just announce Garrett, Callahan and Linehan at once and get them all ready to go to the Senior bowl next week.
Jerry had to get rid of him Because his offenses were so,predictable and bland. You talk about a guy who would throw a 5 yard pass on 3rd and 7.....he was the master of that. Many Dallas fans hated the guy as their OC.
So I could see the Giants trying to make it work. The LB coach of that team was former Vikings DC George Edwards. I would not be surprised if the Giants interviewed him for some role now that he is no longer under contract. Maybe as a pass rush specialist if the Giants want to give Antonio Pierce LB coach job.
maybe you need to take some deep breaths. Eric, who knows more than most, is pretty confident JG is our OC. Linehan might be on the staff, but most likely not as OC.
JG did a pretty darn good job as OC and he did it with a RB named Marion.

Thanks Doc...I think you are right....I do need to take some deep breaths and exorcise those bad thoughts from my head.
May be onto something. Tom Coughlin didnt shake Maras hand once, and look what happened to him.
I dont think Garret wants the OC job with the Giants. I think he is using his influence with Mara to get his buddies a job.
I actually had that thought too, but Im sure it cant be right. I cant believe JG would come here to be interviewed knowing he didnt want the job and he is only doing it for his buddy. That doesnt make sense.
I'm not a medical doctor (it's a nickname some old friends gave me and in retrospect I wish I didn't capitalize the Dr), but I hate to see people suffering.. ;>)
I think everything will be announced all at once. One thing BBI will have to get used to have a BB disciple as a head coach is that information will not be freely shared or leaked until he deems acceptable.

Eric are you hearing something or just a gut feeling?
Posted yesterday that it was only a gut feeling that we would hear something today. But if the reports are accurate and Linehan isn't interviewing until the weekend, then we may to wait until next week.

Yep sounds like hes in Carolina now. I would hope they could have wrapped him up sooner if Garrett and Callahan were already on board...

Thanks! Hopefully we at least hear the OC at some point today.
but I'd really like to see Garrett here with Callahan.
Honestly all I want is Callahan. If they also bring in Garrett and/or Linehan it is just icing on the cake. I still find it amazing that Callahan is available.
Downfall of Shurmur besides in game mgmt, poor attention to defense with no identity .....was the coaching staff did not teach kids fundamentals. They making sames mistakes week 15 from training camp. Judge has good crop of available OC coaches. I was not happy with Def choice (worst def in league 2019, belichek groupie) so Giants need cut the crap and hire the best available OC probally Garrett before Panthers / Browns outbid for thier services. Part of a great coach is positive friction with staff ...Parcells HOF coach but Ron Earhardt OC (accomplished ex coach) and Belechik were part of the engine that fueled Super bowls!

Carolina hired Joe Brady to be OC. Why would Garrett take anything there? In Cleveland he has no real ties to Stefanski.

Thanks Defender. Twitter is blocked at work so I can't copy and paste tweets.
Is it possible that Garrett would be OC with Linehan in some "passing coordinator" role with Callahan as OL coach and "run game" coordinator?
QB coach? Hasnt done that in a number of years
QB coach? Hasnt done that in a number of years
Never mind that. QB coach has been filled.
Schuplinski or something like that.
Best knock on wood after posting that. I've learned to never trust it until announced. Just look at the Rhule outcome.
And just to add on to this..
That was the only year they were all together.

Well, better him than a Mike Shula I suppose?
Shula is kinda useless as an OC.

16th in passing
2nd in rushing
Key personnel: Romo, Murray, Dunbar, Witten, Bryant, Beasley
OL: Smith, Leary, Frederick, Martin, Free
I think it's pretty clear that Garrett has already been hired as OC.
Per public statements and every single beat writer who has touched upon this question, Judge has 100% control of his staff decisions.
Having experienced options / line of succession would be nice. Keeps things consistent if they are successful and lose the OC. If it doesn't work they will probably be fired anyway.

Dont know if he has other strengths though.
