from? Why would Judge even waste his time with that stuff?
Actually just checked and he seems to have this very weird love affair with Tom Brady, wouldn't be surprised if there is a personal connection there. Lol perfect opportunity to throw in some stuff about your boy that has nothing to do with the situation at all!

That was a curve ball...Indeed.
Like I mentioned, it was interesting how the OL started to embrace Colombo's approach and were finding their "zone". And now there be confusion going forward about techniques, calls, etc...
said that we can expect players to be learning new technique on the fly once they get back from the bye. That's going to be interesting being that the unit seemingly finally started to play well together.
First a lot of dirty laundry being aired there about non-public conversations. The Brady stuff in particular sounds like agenda driven sour grapes without any relation to this situation. Clearly there was some kind of NE vs. non-NE hostility among the coaches - and given that the source of these sour grapes is likely the recently departed it seems all the more like he had to get fired. You can't have open hostility among leaders.
Second the most important thing from here forward is going to be the performance of the OL. Just as the most important thing this season was their improvement the last couple weeks (especially Thomas). Either Judge is self sabotaging or making the right decision for the team going forward. We've seen Judge make 100's of decisions big and small since he was hired - I wouldn't describe many if any as being self sabotaging. Doesn't mean this one isn't but there's an obvious squeaky wheel throwing off a lot of excuses and appearing more unprofessional with every new story that's coming out.
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a report like this.
On one side it seems clear that Colombo disrespected Judge and forced him to make a decision. But on the other side, we have been seeing an OL with some steady improvement under Colombo, and reports that the players liked him. I don't think this is a good look for Judge.

Honestly, I don't know who to believe. I guess we'll see how it works out.

There are also reports (I don't know if they all stemmed from the same person) that Judge is the one that took matters into his hands with the O-line and that's why it's better.

Agreed.
Poor timing to make this particular move. Not overly enamored about need for Patriots compadres.
Hope it doesn’t cause the oline to regress
Columbo, however has come across as a dick, to me, and you don’t go around calling your boss a see-you-next-Tuesday in a hob where the HC is always going to look to retain respect.
The mention of Brady was very strange and had nothing to do with the topic.
If the parts about correcting Gates' technique and criticizing Thomas on film is true then Colombo is a real ass. This is Judge's team and if he wants to correct something he has every right to do so. Colombo was clearly creating a divide in the locker room of his guys (the OL) versus the HC. You cannot have that in any locker room if you want to be successful.
What Colombo should have done was have a discussion in private with Judge to express his view point. Undermining the HC authority and openly disrespecting him in front of his players is grounds for immediate dismissal.
I was sad to see Colombo go but after finding out all of this recent information I am glad that Judge made the decision.
I also think that Judge is not going to allow Deguglielmo to drastically alter the technique of the offensive linemen at this point of the season. I expect minor tweaks here and there but nothing major until the offseason if such changes are necessary.

Isn't that very transparently the apparent motivation of whoever this source is? To make Judge look bad.
Again, not saying this is the right call or wrong call, that answer remains to be seen. Just pointing out there's clearly someone with an axe to grind.
should be considered middle school ex girlfriend level bullshit. She's absolute garbage in every way and there's a reason she's a fringe part of the NFL Network at best after being in the business all these years.

Would it have been a good look for Judge if he kept a coach around who continuously disrespects him in front of his players?
Is the only thing that works in the NFL. If Judge wanted Colombo gone that’s good enough for me. Every minor detail should be the way he wants it, and if it ultimately fails you move on from Judge.
Also Thomas has been worst of the big four tackles so I would hope they’re riding him. He was the fourth pick in the draft, we need more.
RE: Michael Silver graduated from Cal Berkeley ...
It's sink or Swim, so it shouldn;t be a surprise that some talented guys improved.
Maybe Columbo felt threatened and over reacted.
Head Coaches (All Coaches) are Bullet Proof with their players when they win, and when their players believe that the Coach is making Them and The team better. Being Prickly or Easy or ANYTHING ELSE doesn't Matter.
is that the line's play began to improve roughly about the time Judge started involving himself in the coaching process there.
I can see Colombo being popular with the players, being a former player himself. But these reports hinting at discontent with Judge among the players don't jive with what we're seeing. When the team was 0-5 and 1-7, we weren't hearing boo from the players about the coaches having an attitude problem.

I'm not taking Colombo's side on this, but my guess he's forgotten more about OL play and techniques than Judge will ever know. So I could see him being a bit annoyed at this first time head coach (at any level) questioning his expertise and teaching methods.
That doesn't absolve Colombo of these reported antics, but I can see the human nature part of this. And if Garrett directly hired Colombo.
is reminiscent of how new management typically behaves in my industry (magazine publishing). I've experienced it myself and heard stories from an old timer.
The new guys come in, they tell you everything you were doing was wrong, you're all idiots, everything has to be our way. Which isn't entirely nuts, because if you were thriving before, you wouldn't be under new management.
However what typically happens is that over a period of time, the new guys figure out that you were doing things your way for a reason. They bump into those reasons and discover you're not all idiots. Sometimes they find they have to pivot and quickly re-adopt some of your old methods after about six months. Sometimes it takes longer and they quietly backtrack.
it makes sense for Judge to come in with an attitude that basically amounts to "Giants stink, Patriots rule, I'm here to make the Giants into the Patriots." But that doesn't necessarily work for every player, coach, play design or technique. Every situation is different.
RE: Michael Silver graduated from Cal Berkeley ...
which is nice. Problem is the HC is watching film of his QB getting killed every pass attempt. Fix it or hit the highway. I'm with Judge on this. Everyone is accountable. Results count more than feelings or developing a new technique.

Exactly. This will continue to play out as everybody in the media wants to get clicks and who knows what allegations are next. My hope is that this is change for the better. I'm worried that the progress we've seen from the OL may be hampered, but we are 3 and 7 and not exactly world beaters. Hoping Judge is right with DD and the players can move on.
It's amazing how these outsider Sportswriters with zero ties to the Giants somehow come up with these stories. The first guy who claimed there was a fight has literal not posted one follow up tweet to it after he got busted for being wrong
RE: Keep in mind the Giants just played Tampa Bay.
and it seemed like a good point. One of Silver's points mentioned the OL being "confused" by Judge's decision to bring in DeGug (prior to Colombo's firing).
This makes no sense. DeGug would've needed to clear COVID protocol before being allowed in the building. Why would anyone have been confused by it? They might not even have known about it. The reports of the argument between Judge and Colombo suggest that MC was blindsided by the decision to bring in someone new to consult/
Head Coach is publicly killing the kid who almost all believe has improved lately now why not chastise him from way back in games 1-6. These guys go to war for the coaches and team we can’t blame a positional coach for trying to help his player if he feels it’s not right. I always say you can’t learn much on the bench but slamming a young guy in the film room will that really help his development going forward. As a player would you not feel even more responsible to your positional coach if he’s willing to fight for you.

Of course not, but what it seems like some here are so willing to overlook are the reasons why Colombo would have became so outspoken towards Judge to begin with. It sounds like Judge was stepping all over his toes even before the decision to bring in somebody from the outside. That's not a healthy situation for an assistant coach to function in. If Judge didn't like the way Colombo was doing things then he should have fired him before it got to this point.

Yeah I think its worth noting that based on his twitter it doesn't look like Mike Silver actively writes anymore - just seems to host a podcast and make occasional appearances on NFL Network, and Jason McIntyre is also just a podcast host with occasional tv bits. They don't have to uphold the reputation of any institutions that employ them in the way a reporter would.

You really don’t know anything except what you read. Therefore I suggest that you should just trust our HC....it is arse on the line each and every week.

The improvement coming when Judge got involved is what I’ve heard from several sources. All he wanted to do was hire a consultant to hold Colombo’s hand....his ego didn’t like that so there you go. He asked for it. You don’t cuss your boss out. I don’t think too many bosses do well with that.
good stories (can't have that) about improvement or bad stuff like Covid and this.. They went with this.
Clearly this stuff started a few weeks ago (and seems about the time former coaches of Thomas were commenting about technique changes here) and then culminated this week.
The Brady stuff is childish bullshit and yes, seems like that came from Colombo. I have zero way of knowing what was said or not said but, I will go with the HC who so far has done things very deliberately and very much by a process and I highly doubt he now decided to act personally to get a buddy brought on board and do something rash in the middle of the season. You disrespect you walk! Seems pretty simple to me.
Lets see how he handles it internally and publicly. He may look like a genius by the end of the season or this will be a terrible move. My take is MC was not his guy. Maybe he was Garretts guy. That makes we wonder how that dynamic will go. However the way Garrett handled Jerruh...this is nothing in comparison.
First a lot of dirty laundry being aired there about non-public conversations. The Brady stuff in particular sounds like agenda driven sour grapes without any relation to this situation.

I assume that every coach, whether they're a head or an assistant, takes their job seriously - they're all evaluated on performance and are all expendable. And why would I "just trust" a rookie head coach who hasn't won anything yet?
Have you never stuck it out continuing to work at a job with a shitty boss?
Sure have. And has a boss ever, rather than firing an underperforming employee outright, taken steps to try to improve the situation first?
Let's be honest - if Colombo had been fired weeks ago, you'd be on here complaining that Judge never gave him a chance to succeed.
I don't have any personal attachment to Marc Colombo - I don't care that he was fired. What I care about is whether Judge is breeding the right culture and relationships amongst is coaches and staff.
behind closed doors all the time. Like when Antonio Brown surreptitiously filmed Mike Tomlin shit-talking the Patriots in the Pittsburgh locker room. I'd be more concerned about the person leaking this stuff than the actual content (if it's even true).

Stepping on his toes? Judge is the head coach. He can tell the OL whatever the hell he wants.
Columbo's OL was shit, he wasn't doing his job well.
If you are doing a shit job and your boss steps in is it acceptable to "become outspoken" toward him in front of your subordinates?

I actually like Judge personally based on what I can see, but I'm neutral on him in regard to his coaching. I recognize that he's a rookie coach, but until he proves he can make his team in to a winner I'll certainly view every one of his decisions with a level of skepticism.

How are you expecting him to win with such a flawed roster?
My expectations for him would still be low even if he had a better roster, because he's a first time head coach. But it's always the case at least for me, whether the coach is a rookie or a veteran, that he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt until he wins games consistently.
Are professional football players. They want to perform and keep their jobs. Colombo is gone, they will embrace the change.
It s not nearly the big deal it s being made out to be
exactly. i've seen it a ton of times in business. an executive gets fired and thinks his "people" will be upset. in reality they only compare about their own jobs and performance. i expect our OL to step up and continue to improve.
Called him out on Twitter when he accidentally slipped with military fly over live at halftime working a college all star game on nfln on open Mike “what’s going on with this Shit” blocked me ASAP glad the guy working for shit

I’m sure Joe Judge would be heartbroken to know some random guy on BBI refuses to give him the benefit of the doubt. It must really suck to go through life that way. And it’s also obvious by your posts that you are not a fan of Joe Judge, just own it.

Judge would talk about Brady like that? This seems absolutely outlandish. “Well...he IS intelligent, I’ll give him that....”
Seriously, this all sounds like garbage.
My guess is this is what they discussed when coaching up for the Tampa Bay game. They were breaking down his strengths and weaknesses and this was blown up by Colombo's camp to shed a poor light on Judge. But who knows. Truth is usually somewhere just left/right of center... lol
deal that would put posters at each other's throats?
Colombo wasn't getting it done. He got on Judge's wrong side. He got fired, instead of just working along with it. Now, with these antics he is going to be hard pressed to find a coaching job in the NFL and maybe even college. That he "liked" a tweet about Judge getting belted is really going to look bad - one of those social media moments that potentially sinks a career.
It seems the story changes ever few hours. So eventually most of the truth will come out. If it came down to Lombardi, Silver or Stapleton, who are you going to believe?

I mostly agree with your first paragraph.
However, if most of the reporting is true, and there was a confrontation split, that is newsworthy; and a big deal because our OL has been a major problem for a long time.
Just think how often the OL has been discussed around here. It seems like it's been a daily topic for at least five years...

It is not a big deal because:
1.) Apparently Colombo was not getting it done the way Judge wanted. When corrected he argued and became spiteful(to be fair both probably did)
2.) He is being replaced by a much more experienced coach who will likely be doing what Judge wants
3.) If the line only started to improve after Judge stepped in, then it should improve even quicker now that the teaching environment improves
4.) Football players have many different coaches over their careers. The best learn from all, adapt and improve. This not a change of offense, just a change of voice. Technique should be mostly the same but how to best achieve it will be taught differently.
5.) Remember when Parcells used to cut one veteran late in camp? He did it to catch the attention of the rest of the players. If the players are smart, they will realize that if Judge is willing to fire a coach, he is more than willing to cut them if they don't perform as expected

Ok.....weird post. I didn't think I was doing anything different than everyone else posting their opinions on a football forum. But I certainly don't care if you don't think I'm sufficiently slurping Joe Judge. If mild criticism of a player or a coach that you're crushing on bothers you then disregard my posts.

Has nothing to do with whether it was a " good look" or not, Judges hand was FORCED once Colombo cursed him in front of the team. FORCED, He had no choice but to fire him. It works that way everywhere in the world.

Really? That's what it seems like tto you? so this fucking assistant interupts and interjects repeatedly when the HEAD COACH IS COACHING, and he's stepping on Colombos feet? Unless you think the assistant is actually the head coach, that's one fucked up outlook. Who are you to say when he should have fired Colombo? Maybe he DID make up his mind to fire him, hired DD, and made the move when it was comfortable for him. Why should Judge's timing be dicatated by considerations for some asshole he's about to shitcan??????????

You really don’t know anything except what you read. Therefore I suggest that you should just trust our HC....it is arse on the line each and every week.
I assume that every coach, whether they're a head or an assistant, takes their job seriously - they're all evaluated on performance and are all expendable. And why would I "just trust" a rookie head coach who hasn't won anything yet?
There you go, you said it straight up and owned it. YOU don't trust the head coach. Apparently Colombo didn't either. Why you wtrust an insubordinate scrub noob asst coach whose unit sucked balls till Judge laid hands on in his person is beyond me. ( and yeah 4 years total coaching, as an asst, mind you is a NOOB in the NFL)
no surprise his deep ball has been off for the past few years.
that is some petty shit dropping that in addition to making him sound like a dick in the film room.
colombo must've hated judge badly
He was jelly. Judge was an asst that got the big job, and Colombo was the scrub coaching an underperforming OL. We will see the judgement of the rest of the NFL and how Colombo, and judge, do from here out. My guess is Judge will be around long after anyone remembers who Marc Colombo was.
on Brady not being able to throw outside the numbers. Last year he was awful. Anything over 15 yards was questionable. He seems better this year, but I was sure he was done last year. Of course he had crappy receivers in NE too.
RE: I don't expect him to win with this current roster
My expectations for him would still be low even if he had a better roster, because he's a first time head coach. But it's always the case at least for me, whether the coach is a rookie or a veteran, that he doesn't get the benefit of the doubt until he wins games consistently.
Unless of course, you are "Big Toes" Marc Colombo...
RE: RE: RE: Michael Silver graduated from Cal Berkeley ...
deal that would put posters at each other's throats?
Colombo wasn't getting it done. He got on Judge's wrong side. He got fired, instead of just working along with it. Now, with these antics he is going to be hard pressed to find a coaching job in the NFL and maybe even college. That he "liked" a tweet about Judge getting belted is really going to look bad - one of those social media moments that potentially sinks a career.
It seems the story changes ever few hours. So eventually most of the truth will come out. If it came down to Lombardi, Silver or Stapleton, who are you going to believe?
Simple. In the event that Judge doesn’t work out here and gets fired for being another bad Giants HC, those who think he was out of line in this 1 scenario will look back on this as their “I told you so” point.
Actually just checked and he seems to have this very weird love affair with Tom Brady, wouldn't be surprised if there is a personal connection there. Lol perfect opportunity to throw in some stuff about your boy that has nothing to do with the situation at all!
But yeah, why would judge bring up Tom Brady? What does that have to do with the Giants?

That was a curve ball...Indeed.
Like I mentioned, it was interesting how the OL started to embrace Colombo's approach and were finding their "zone". And now there be confusion going forward about techniques, calls, etc...
Good for him
Maybe he's talked with players, too.
Second the most important thing from here forward is going to be the performance of the OL. Just as the most important thing this season was their improvement the last couple weeks (especially Thomas). Either Judge is self sabotaging or making the right decision for the team going forward. We've seen Judge make 100's of decisions big and small since he was hired - I wouldn't describe many if any as being self sabotaging. Doesn't mean this one isn't but there's an obvious squeaky wheel throwing off a lot of excuses and appearing more unprofessional with every new story that's coming out.
On the other hand, you have reports that the improvement started when Judge started getting more involved with the OL.
Honestly, I don't know who to believe. I guess we'll see how it works out.
There are also reports (I don't know if they all stemmed from the same person) that Judge is the one that took matters into his hands with the O-line and that's why it's better.
Agreed.
Poor timing to make this particular move. Not overly enamored about need for Patriots compadres.
Hope it doesn’t cause the oline to regress
Columbo, however has come across as a dick, to me, and you don’t go around calling your boss a see-you-next-Tuesday in a hob where the HC is always going to look to retain respect.
If the parts about correcting Gates' technique and criticizing Thomas on film is true then Colombo is a real ass. This is Judge's team and if he wants to correct something he has every right to do so. Colombo was clearly creating a divide in the locker room of his guys (the OL) versus the HC. You cannot have that in any locker room if you want to be successful.
What Colombo should have done was have a discussion in private with Judge to express his view point. Undermining the HC authority and openly disrespecting him in front of his players is grounds for immediate dismissal.
I was sad to see Colombo go but after finding out all of this recent information I am glad that Judge made the decision.
I also think that Judge is not going to allow Deguglielmo to drastically alter the technique of the offensive linemen at this point of the season. I expect minor tweaks here and there but nothing major until the offseason if such changes are necessary.
Isn't that very transparently the apparent motivation of whoever this source is? To make Judge look bad.
Again, not saying this is the right call or wrong call, that answer remains to be seen. Just pointing out there's clearly someone with an axe to grind.
Would it have been a good look for Judge if he kept a coach around who continuously disrespects him in front of his players?
Also Thomas has been worst of the big four tackles so I would hope they’re riding him. He was the fourth pick in the draft, we need more.
That he's smart and well educated?
Maybe Columbo felt threatened and over reacted.
Head Coaches (All Coaches) are Bullet Proof with their players when they win, and when their players believe that the Coach is making Them and The team better. Being Prickly or Easy or ANYTHING ELSE doesn't Matter.
I can see Colombo being popular with the players, being a former player himself. But these reports hinting at discontent with Judge among the players don't jive with what we're seeing. When the team was 0-5 and 1-7, we weren't hearing boo from the players about the coaches having an attitude problem.

I'm not taking Colombo's side on this, but my guess he's forgotten more about OL play and techniques than Judge will ever know. So I could see him being a bit annoyed at this first time head coach (at any level) questioning his expertise and teaching methods.
That doesn't absolve Colombo of these reported antics, but I can see the human nature part of this. And if Garrett directly hired Colombo.
The new guys come in, they tell you everything you were doing was wrong, you're all idiots, everything has to be our way. Which isn't entirely nuts, because if you were thriving before, you wouldn't be under new management.
However what typically happens is that over a period of time, the new guys figure out that you were doing things your way for a reason. They bump into those reasons and discover you're not all idiots. Sometimes they find they have to pivot and quickly re-adopt some of your old methods after about six months. Sometimes it takes longer and they quietly backtrack.
it makes sense for Judge to come in with an attitude that basically amounts to "Giants stink, Patriots rule, I'm here to make the Giants into the Patriots." But that doesn't necessarily work for every player, coach, play design or technique. Every situation is different.
That he's a heck of a lot smarter than you?
How will we ever survive without Marc Columbia? The agony...
great point. Makes sense. Just seems like sour grapes and out of context until you think that Colombo has an axe to grind

Exactly. This will continue to play out as everybody in the media wants to get clicks and who knows what allegations are next. My hope is that this is change for the better. I'm worried that the progress we've seen from the OL may be hampered, but we are 3 and 7 and not exactly world beaters. Hoping Judge is right with DD and the players can move on.
Doesn't matter if they were playing better and/or just beat a hated rival team for the first time in years.
Fuck this guy, Colombo..
Great point. The leaks re: Brady seem really weak and like they were intended to generate outrage. Really low rent move (presumably by Columbo).
This makes no sense. DeGug would've needed to clear COVID protocol before being allowed in the building. Why would anyone have been confused by it? They might not even have known about it. The reports of the argument between Judge and Colombo suggest that MC was blindsided by the decision to bring in someone new to consult/
And to think all this time we were just a good OL asst coach away from building an OL. And now it’s gone, again.
It’s hunting season I see.

Of course not, but what it seems like some here are so willing to overlook are the reasons why Colombo would have became so outspoken towards Judge to begin with. It sounds like Judge was stepping all over his toes even before the decision to bring in somebody from the outside. That's not a healthy situation for an assistant coach to function in. If Judge didn't like the way Colombo was doing things then he should have fired him before it got to this point.

The coaches were probably talking about Brady's weaknesses while game planning, and Colombo is spilling the beans about what was said.

By the same logic, why didn't Colombo quit when Judge started stepping on his toes, if it was such an "unhealthy situation?"

“We’re just hearing about the divorce. The kids know about the marriage.”
Yeah I think its worth noting that based on his twitter it doesn't look like Mike Silver actively writes anymore - just seems to host a podcast and make occasional appearances on NFL Network, and Jason McIntyre is also just a podcast host with occasional tv bits. They don't have to uphold the reputation of any institutions that employ them in the way a reporter would.

You really don’t know anything except what you read. Therefore I suggest that you should just trust our HC....it is arse on the line each and every week.
The improvement coming when Judge got involved is what I’ve heard from several sources. All he wanted to do was hire a consultant to hold Colombo’s hand....his ego didn’t like that so there you go. He asked for it. You don’t cuss your boss out. I don’t think too many bosses do well with that.
Clearly this stuff started a few weeks ago (and seems about the time former coaches of Thomas were commenting about technique changes here) and then culminated this week.
The Brady stuff is childish bullshit and yes, seems like that came from Colombo. I have zero way of knowing what was said or not said but, I will go with the HC who so far has done things very deliberately and very much by a process and I highly doubt he now decided to act personally to get a buddy brought on board and do something rash in the middle of the season. You disrespect you walk! Seems pretty simple to me.

Good post Eric.

Sure have. And has a boss ever, rather than firing an underperforming employee outright, taken steps to try to improve the situation first?
Let's be honest - if Colombo had been fired weeks ago, you'd be on here complaining that Judge never gave him a chance to succeed.

I don't have any personal attachment to Marc Colombo - I don't care that he was fired. What I care about is whether Judge is breeding the right culture and relationships amongst is coaches and staff.
Yup. But so many here gotta be Devils Advocate.

I'm not suggesting you have a personal attachment to Colombo. I'm suggesting you have a personal bias against Judge, and your opinions about what he should be doing are reverse engineered to suit it.
Not surprised a few posters who love to bash the Giants accepted it sight unseen

Stepping on his toes? Judge is the head coach. He can tell the OL whatever the hell he wants.
Columbo's OL was shit, he wasn't doing his job well.
If you are doing a shit job and your boss steps in is it acceptable to "become outspoken" toward him in front of your subordinates?

I actually like Judge personally based on what I can see, but I'm neutral on him in regard to his coaching. I recognize that he's a rookie coach, but until he proves he can make his team in to a winner I'll certainly view every one of his decisions with a level of skepticism.
How are you expecting him to win with such a flawed roster?
It s not nearly the big deal it s being made out to be
It s not nearly the big deal it s being made out to be
exactly. i've seen it a ton of times in business. an executive gets fired and thinks his "people" will be upset. in reality they only compare about their own jobs and performance. i expect our OL to step up and continue to improve.

This. Plenty of assistant coaches get fired midseason, nothing new.
I’m sure Joe Judge would be heartbroken to know some random guy on BBI refuses to give him the benefit of the doubt. It must really suck to go through life that way. And it’s also obvious by your posts that you are not a fan of Joe Judge, just own it.
What???
Seriously, this all sounds like garbage.
Seriously, this all sounds like garbage.
My guess is this is what they discussed when coaching up for the Tampa Bay game. They were breaking down his strengths and weaknesses and this was blown up by Colombo's camp to shed a poor light on Judge. But who knows. Truth is usually somewhere just left/right of center... lol
Colombo wasn't getting it done. He got on Judge's wrong side. He got fired, instead of just working along with it. Now, with these antics he is going to be hard pressed to find a coaching job in the NFL and maybe even college.

I mostly agree with your first paragraph.
However, if most of the reporting is true, and there was a confrontation split, that is newsworthy; and a big deal because our OL has been a major problem for a long time.
Just think how often the OL has been discussed around here. It seems like it's been a daily topic for at least five years...

It is not a big deal because:
1.) Apparently Colombo was not getting it done the way Judge wanted. When corrected he argued and became spiteful(to be fair both probably did)
2.) He is being replaced by a much more experienced coach who will likely be doing what Judge wants
3.) If the line only started to improve after Judge stepped in, then it should improve even quicker now that the teaching environment improves
4.) Football players have many different coaches over their careers. The best learn from all, adapt and improve. This not a change of offense, just a change of voice. Technique should be mostly the same but how to best achieve it will be taught differently.
5.) Remember when Parcells used to cut one veteran late in camp? He did it to catch the attention of the rest of the players. If the players are smart, they will realize that if Judge is willing to fire a coach, he is more than willing to cut them if they don't perform as expected
If he was Garrett’s guy and this makes him walk then so be it. Garrett is replaceable too.

But I certainly don't care if you don't think I'm sufficiently slurping Joe Judge. If mild criticism of a player or a coach that you're crushing on bothers you then disregard my posts.
But yeah, why would judge bring up Tom Brady? What does that have to do with the Giants?

Again, your own comments make it clear you don't understand the role of head coach when you say things like
"we can’t blame a positional coach for trying to help his player if he feels it’s not right" so it's about what the assistant FEELS, not the head coach demands? " Can't blame him" ?? Really?? This fucking cunt piece of shit Colombo called Judge a Cunt in front of the whole team because he had feelings? Fuck Colombo. We aren't running a day camp.

Simple. In the event that Judge doesn’t work out here and gets fired for being another bad Giants HC, those who think he was out of line in this 1 scenario will look back on this as their “I told you so” point.
Happens for just about everything.
