Judge can't get the 2 more years he actually needs

Rafflee : 12/6/2021 8:37 pm
Judge has had some bad miss steps as a first time Head Coach, but I think he has a shot at being successful...probably not here.

He's been devoted to Players as a Coach who Loves Coaching... He's over invested in the players he has. He has evaluated his roster with a belief and a commitment to developing His Guys. Judge has had substantial input to player evaluation, and he's done a lousy job of it. This is his hard lesson going forward... this team is NO PLACE, and it needs a teardown. He might NOW be just the right guy for the Job, because now he should know his mistakes.

They need to move on....and he will get another shot.
Whatever

Assuming this is his wife posting this.
Yeah let's give him 10 more years just in case.  
Mike from SI : 12/6/2021 8:45 pm : link
Jones too. Don't wanna give up on guys too early.
Yeah, he really sucks, but I'm sure he learned  
Matt M. : 12/6/2021 8:50 pm : link
and if we just give him a few more years to learn from more mistakes, he'll be fine.

This is truly one of the more bizarre posts.
Judge was a MAJOR gamble...

I supported it, but if he was anywhere else, and not tethered to BB, I seriously doubt he gets a crack at the job.

He’ll always be able to land

With Belichick or Saban.

Interesting take  
mattlawson : 12/6/2021 9:15 pm : link
He's only had 2 years but one thing is absolutely clear - the players are not greater than the sum of the parts. To me that is why Coughlin and his staff did such a great job. You cant name a key player that was released in TC's tenure and went somewhere else and was successful. He did a phenomenal job in putting his players in successful situations - and they were not all-pro world beater type players across the board, particularly on offense. Eli did a great job to take advantage of course, he made his players better around him. He maximized potential. But Coughlin fielded the team and put it all together. This coaching staff is nowhere near that level right now.
The Giants are a terrible destination for a coach trying to learn

on the job. The situation being what it is, I think you need a veteran coach here who is capable of running it like a CEO.
Any rookie head coach is not going to have the cash in the bank to call shots that might differ from what management thinks is the correct path. And a rookie head coach won't know initially what he needs to be successful.

They need a guy who has built teams before, quite honest.

On BBI were saying after Shurmur, we needed an experienced proven commodity at that point. A guy “like” Cowher (if we couldn’t snag him) to come in here and fix this mess. We had experimented with our last two novices, and the third time was not time for another unknown IMO.

Yet the Giants got all hot to trot because BB told them Judge had the makings of a Varsity Quaterback. Which I understand if BB was adamant about it, the choice makes sense. But after the prior two disasters walking out the door with their tail between their legs, I didn’t want to roll the dice again. I wanted someone that had a proven track record that Mara wouldn’t feel the need to stick his nose in their business.

I firmly believe that Mara is getting nosie with football operations after years of suck. And with each passing year of losing he sticks that beak in further and further. We have to get him away from the team and back riding horses somewhere out of state.

This team needs to go out and talk a proven commodity in to coming and fixing the organization. With a promise of full control. Otherwise we are going to be stuck in this viscous cycle for years and years.

Sorry, didn’t read your post prior to mine. But you summed up my thoughts nicely. Just don’t give us a mike smith or John fox please.
Please Judge should sell used cars about all he is good for

Never have I seen an NFL team so unprepared to play

I am starting to think Garrett was the only thing keeping this clown from looking like a total joker this whole time.

I did. It is jumbled mess. It still holds the premise that his next stop will be a succes; we just can't afford to give him the time. My response is there is nothing to indicate one or two more years here or anywhere else will suddenly turn him into a good coach.

I was completely of the mind that JJ has been trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit since hes got here. Ive even accepted the ultraconservative approach he takes, when no one on earth would blame him for gambling -- not just because of the poor roster, but also the "we're (way more losses than wins) what the fuck do you have to lose?"

But that 5 min stretch culminating in the 3 and 33 was a huge red flag. The word embarrassing gets thrown around alot, that, IMO was embarrassing. Not because of the poor play, which is a given, but the lack of structure, getting plays in, getting to the line, subbing out personnel groups when time didnt afford us that luxury, a timeout to salvage a lost drive. It was like a chinese fire drill and its his job, even when the team is playing like trash, to ensure things dont spiral into an absolute clusterfuck. And thats what it became. As someone who wants to see him succeed, that was really disappointing. Cuz thats squarely on him. At the 5 min mark, youre in the 2 minute offense. Urgency. Not panic, but urgency. Purpose. And we're treating it like its mid second quarter in a 10-7 game. Whether the guys perform is on them, but it was apparent that he just either never pushed the button to make it happen, or, worse, he pushed it and it didnt.

Very disappointing and indefensible.
I still think  
Breeze_94 : 12/6/2021 11:35 pm : link
it needs to get a lot uglier over these last 5 games for Judge to get the boot from ownership.

To me, he hasn't shown anything this year that makes me think he's an NFL coach.

I think he should be a goner along with Gettleman so that the next GM can start fresh but not sure that is how ownership sees it.

Hypothetically, who are some of the coaches out there that would be a great pick to replace him? I'm thinking it would be an offensive coach if they did make the move, although I really like Matt Eberflus.
Joe Judge’s actions don’t line up with his word  
JohnB : 12/6/2021 11:48 pm : link
He preached about smart, tough and disciplined football. We got none of that. Mind you, those qualities have nothing to do with talent. Even if you’re the most talented less player on the field you can be smart, tough and disciplined. Time and again his players showed that they were not smart or tough or disciplined.

He lost me in the first game when he threw the challenge flag that got us a penalty. So unprofessional.
My opinion is he is the middle of a huge learning curve  
PatersonPlank : 12/7/2021 1:04 pm : link
Most/all of his coaching career has really been on the Patriots. There he had good talent coming in and out, and the focus was on getting the players to do the right things (be more exact, more disciplined, maybe move a few people around, etc). On the Giants he needs to lead a rebuild, which means a lot more evaluations and not as much teaching. Just continuing to work on fundamentals and techniques will not cut it if the talent isn't there.

We need someone who will evaluate, cut, resign, and do all the things necessary to build the talent and along with doing the fundamental stuff.

He has been part of the evaluation process. He, like the owners and front office, is no good at it.

Say goodbye. Sorry Mrs. Judge, but nice try as the OP

Bradshaw- really good post. At this point, the Giants need to hire a safe GM and Mara needs to let go.

That Carl Banks interview where he was sucking up to Pioli was interesting because Banks knows about what is going on inside the Giants org and his behavior reeks of wanting to be on the side of the next GM. I think all the arrows are pointing to Pioli. So you may get your wish.

Go Terps : 12/7/2021 1:34 pm : link
I do think Judge was to an extent a victim of inheriting a bad roster with a bad QB and no OL that had been assembled by a completely incompetent front office. It was a bottom 5 NFL roster when he got the job, and it's still a bottom 5 NFL roster today. He was jumping into a very bad situation, and from that perspective some patience was warranted.

That said, the game management errors have nothing to do with the quality of the players on the roster. Further, the right way to initiate a rebuild is by bringing in a new GM and head coach at the same time. Judge has not earned the right to interrupt that through the quality of his coaching. If he's collateral damage, so be it.
