Ask yourself this question, is there one team in the NFL that would trade their coach right now for Judge? Now there is clearly some bad and unproven coaches around the league. But most of them have at least achieved some success as a O/D coordinator or head coach ( college or NFL).
Maybe the Texans, Jags or Lions do it but I honestly doubt it. He is without question a bottom 5 NFL Head coach. Perhaps he turns it around and becomes a good head coach. But if he was available this offseason, would he even get interviews to be a head coach?
Why exactly is he likely to return for next year? I don't care about the third coach in a row lasting 2 seasons. Keep searching until you find the right person for the job.
Lions would get at least 6 wins with Little Bill. Knows how to coach and game plan.
2016 - He forced Coughlin out but kept Reese, who was doing a poor job. He kept Reese and promoted McAdoo and the franchise stayed bad because they were still drafting poorly.
2018 - He fires Reese and McAdoo and replaces Reese with someone familiar to the team (DG). Pettit was promoted to Director of College Scouting after spending 13 years in the organization that was drafting poorly. Shurmur was the 'outisde the org' hire.
2020 - For the sake of stability, Shurmur is let go and replaced with Judge, but DG stays. Shurmur completely lost the team and had to go. DG and Pettit stayed and continued to do a subpar job.
The idea that a lack of stability is the issue with the Giants during this stretch is silly. The only time they cleaned house in 2018 they promoted a scout who had been there 13 years, and put in a GM who had worked for the Giants 13 of the prior 17 years.
What the Giants need is to open the windows at 1925 Giants Way and get some fresh air and fresh views. They don't need more "steady as she goes."
I guess there’s some folks here that think all Joe needs is a few more years and he’ll sprout up into a Giant of a coach!
Pete Carrol might be the 2nd worst coach in the NFL. He has a top 5 QB, great WRs and consistently can't produce offense.
Uh, Carroll is a defensive coach at his core. And great at developing a D. He has that current Seattle D 6th in the NFL in PPG allowed. That is tremendous with a D full of holes.
2nd worst coach in the NFL...LOL.
Why do we think he’s just suddenly going to improve in year 3? By firing Garrett now he’s the one on the chopping block, as it should be.
If Jones is coming back healthy next year, I don’t mind him coming back for a third year. I absolutely do not want a new QB next year just so Judge can use that as an excuse.
I actually think the Garrett was fired for his interview and non-commentary the week prior to his firing. And that’s an even worse look for Judge.
Yeah, I’m talking myself into this. Judge may be the worst coach in the NFL.
Joe Judge is an absolute shitshow!
Maybe, but using your own logic he is not the worst coach in the league
Seriously Giants fans used to be a higher level fan, you're all just Jets fans now in Giants clothing.
embarrassment.
Stop pretending to be offended and open your eyes and ears.
Totally agree. Garrett was a classic sacrificial lamb for Judge.
Last year when we had OL-Gate, btw, Judge jumped right and vowed, like Gen Patton, to get more involved and get the problem fixed. Have we heard similar sentiment this year while the offense has been cratering? Uh - no.

Good thing you weren't around when Ray Handley was coaching.

looks like we are going by teams record and not really the coach.....let Bill coach the Lions next year and he'll be in the bottom tier...and BBI calling for his head!!!!
Lions would get at least 6 wins with Little Bill. Knows how to coach and game plan.
so then only a handful of coaches worse than BB after next season with the Lions.
Just showed how flawed the entire thread is.
He also makes poor decisions. He doesn't know how to use timeouts, he gets ridiculously conservative in the red zone and 4th down, and the team always looks like they are about to get a delay of game. Of all the things he's done wrong, the worst may be not giving the starting OL much work in the preseason. That left us scrambling for anyone a week before the season started. This team has very few positives. The best I can say is that the defense is solid for not having even a semblance of a pass rush.

I'm not offended, I'm embarrassed that this fan base has lost the ability to understand that players play and coaches coach.
I like Jones but I dont think he's good enough to elevate the teams play when you're offensive line has basically been all backups, your skill players are constantly injured and you're defense is missing its qb of the defense and has no pass rush.
How the fuck does any head coach win with that?
2020: 6-10
2021: 4-8
The Giants won in Seattle exactly how Judge is playing it this year - the Giants mucked up the game, relied on their defense and won 17-12. The Giants went 4-2 in the division & swept their home division games.
Has it been really that different? Sure, there has been poor in game decisions, but if he is the worst coach in the league, he was shitty last year too. But, most were all in on Judge last year.
What is hard to determine is what his role is in shaping the roster. Did he sign off on Peart as RT? Galloday? All the secondary pieces? The later round picks that seem to favor special teams?
A big part of being a HC in the NFL is talent evaluation.
The Giants may realistically looking at a rough next year again and I think they risk setting him him as a lame duck where things could spiral quickly out of control. I think they need to either dump him or commit for the next two years.
Yes most likely. My point is he was overrated last year while probably getting too much shit this year.
It was never realistic to think a 38 year old ST coach with no HC experience anywhere was going to be the savior of the franchise. I was guilty of it too.

I bought in too last year. The scent of a new car is very powerful. And Judge was covered in it.
Hearing how organized he sounded and his attention to detail, it was easy to expect that to convey to the football team. And a new, exciting era would be born...
Now after 28 games, Judge just sounds like a guy trying to sound good. Nothing else to me...
He also coaches way too tight and conservative on both sides of the ball. It’s like watching a rerun of the Dan Reeves era.

Judge is struggling to manage a game, period. Ultra conservative, poor gameplans, awful in-game management that makes him look like an amateur all highlight his tenure.
Now it could be growing pains, or it could be he's in way over his head, or a bit of both. Lack of talent is a factor, but there are other very basic components to running team on gameday that he's demonstrably very poor at.
Yep, Mara said “I thought we could have won more games.” I wonder if he thinks the same now.
The media would have been painfully unbearable with their Philly fluffing if they were on a bit of a winning streak.
We need to keep playing smart football as Carl Banks would call it.
