He would resonate with hard working blue collar people.
He would be plain spoken.
He would preach accountability.
He would appear confident and tough.
He would dazzle you with technical knowledge of certain specific aspects of the product.
And he would run the organization into the fucking ground!!!!
Because he has no experience running an organization.
And you really never had any reason to believe he would have been good at what you hired him to do!!!!
This is what we have here. Judge could be my special teams coach anyday.. but we need someone who has experienced success in the role we are hiring him to do.
Otherwise it's like buying a lottery ticket, and hope is not a plan.
He had me though, from the first press conference.
And he does seem like a great dude.
I was duped.
Toyota he says...
That’s what I saw today
No idea how to deploy his personnel, no creativity on the offensive side of the ball, and flat out awful situational and game management.
It’s easy to say the right things, a lot more difficult to actually go out and do them.
The Giants did take a lottery ticket on Judge...he interviewed great and swept them off their feet. The same way he won over the fan base with his press conferences. But when it comes time to show it instead of talk about it, this guy has delivered nothing.
That’s what I saw today
The 1973 AMC Gremlin-X was my first car.
Mellow yellow with an orange racing stripe and a V-8 engine.
Cost $3,000.

With the best gas cap ever.
Judge was yelling "watch the fake" clearly on TV
yet they leave a guy wide open on the side
How is that the coach's fault

Because he’s the coach and he’s responsible for the play on the field. And because he could have and should called a time out when he saw the gunner was uncovered. Especially knowing how frequently Hecker throws the ball. Judge isn’t some moop in the stands. (Though he probably should be).

I saw this too. He was immediately calling for the fake as soon as the third down play was over. I think the gunner was on the opposite side of the field, so Judge probably didn’t see him uncovered. Unless I am remembering that incorrectly. If he was on the Giants sideline than yes I agree that is inexcusable to not call a T.O.
That story really puts the Judge hire in perspective. ST is an ancillary function, no matter what anyone says.
The use of timeouts are consistently terrible, including today. The Giants took a timeout on defense when it was 3rd and inches on the Giants side of the field and then again on 1st and Goal from the 1. This is inexcusable. They just aren't gaining much from these timeouts. He needs to realize that he should have his analytics team figure out when is good to take timeouts and then assign a coach to managing timeouts in game.
There are likely a ton of examples like this.
Toyota he says...
KIA is a better value than Toyota.
Its a process that requires too much projection made by a brain trust that has proven over a decade they don't really know what to look for.
Maras are always breaking the cardinal sin of fighting the last war. McAdoo is a buffoon so we need an adult in the room. Hire Shurmur. Shurmur isn't a Leader of Men, sounds weak in press conferences and on the phone with fucking Francesa. So you fire him and hire Judge on the basis of his communication ability. Its a sad situation. But at least at Toyota you have a Board that has plenty of people who didn't inherit their positions on the Board because of their last name to make the next decision. Giants fans aren't so lucky.
