I find it interesting that with all the HC positions open that Garrett has had only one interview so far. I think that speaks to how he is viewed as HC material by other teams. Certainly, his work with the Giants this year has not helped his cause. In spite of the lack of offensive talent, I don't think his system is a good fit for Jones and the Giants. Missing Barkley was huge, but Shurmur endured missed time from Barkley and a lack of effectiveness when returning too soon from his injury. That offense at least showed occasional ability, better than Garrett's offense where a few guys appeared to take a step backwards. Their passing offense was consistently dysfunctional. Third and five was a crisis to get the ball in the air 10 yards. I really think the Giants need to move in another direction from Garrett, and him obtaining a HC gig would be the easy way to part. I wonder if the Giants would be willing to make the difficult call and fire Garrett? Because, that's what they need to do.
Under Garrett, Dallas had two top 10 WRs in yards per catch pretty much every year. The deep routes were noticeably missing. I wonder if that’s something Judge or talent influenced or probably both.
Consistent and building seems like the right approach.

I think it is fair to say he showed he is a good HC. He made the playoffs a few times, never embarrassed the organization and I don't recall players ever quitting on him.
He did not advance far in the playoffs and that hurts him. You could do a lot worse at HC than Garrett and he may even be better in that role than OC.

He’s a putz and we were 31st in offense. He should be getting fired from this job let alone earning a promotion. I thought Judge would promote Kitchens or call Bill O’Brien.

Not saying I’d have wanted him, but he has Pats ties and developed Watson. I think he’d be on the Judge list of replacements.

Didn't Saban just hire him as OC to replace Sark?
Offenses don’t implode when they lose a RB. It just doesn’t happen. And Gallman/Morris ran for a lot of tough yards Barkley doesn’t take. Barkley likes to trade the 0 yard carries for the eventual 40 yarder. The Giants were probably the healthiest team in the division overall.
In all sincerity, the Lions need someone with Garrett's "cache" as an NFL HC. The Patricia experiment was an embarrassment after they fired Caldwell. They either need to bring Saleh (local guy, big reputation) or somebody with NFL experience to salvage that train wreck.
Before Garrett is run out of here lets see what he can do with some players. Get him a quality WR game breaker type, a TE that can catch and a healthy SB and then we can evaluate. Not sure the greatest offensive coordinator of all time could have done any better this year.
That's the kind of shit that got Adam Gase two chances!

Watson was a mid-Round 1 pick. Every good college QB translates to success in the NFL? Hasn’t worked for our guy yet.
I'd rather keep him going into Jone's 3rd year as this is the year we should see a step up for Jones.
we're definitely going to go heavier on offense this draft/fa might as well roll with him this year for continuities sake.
Not "establishing the run" and getting 6 yards on 3rd and 5.

Man, Brady really lit shit up with the Panthers this year, no

I don't know for certain that Sarkisian would work out in the NFL, but Garrett's performance in 2020 speaks for itself.
If we want Jones to have a shot at turning it around, Garrett isn't the guy to do it.
If Garrett is back, we know why. Stapleton said it himself: "The Mara family loves him."
Garrett had nobody he could consistently depend on to play on a higher level.
You want to fire the coach?
