If the Giants move on from Judge, who would you want?

Sean : 12/7/2021 8:44 pm
Most head coaches fail and typically about 20% of the league turns over coaches every year. Mara could be looking at his 4th head coach hire in 6 years. The problem with losing, it’s easy to get in the recycle HC’s every 2 years loop.

Assuming a GM from the outside is hired with a new HC, at some point there needs to be real patience. There is a good chance whoever the next coach is will have a similar record to Judge after 28 games, 10-18. Can’t just keep firing these guys every 2 seasons.

I might be missing some, but here are the potential candidates:

Sean Payton (doubtful)
Mike Tomlin (doubtful)
Doug Pederson

Those are the SB winning coaches. I doubt Payton & Tomlin would be available, but they could look for a change of scenery. Everyone else:

Mike Zimmer (maybe available)
Brian Daboll
Wink Martindale
Greg Roman
Eric Bieniemy
Josh McDaniels
Kellen Moore
Vance Joseph
Raheem Morris
Todd Bowles
Byron Leftwich

I’m missing some names. But, who would you hire to be the next NYG coach for hopefully the next 7 plus years if Judge is gone?

I'd give real thought to Roman and Martindale.

With Roman's offense you can target particular types of quarterbacks, offensive linemen, and skill players that may allow the Giants to zig when others zag from a personnel perspective.

Martindale's blitz heavy scheme might work well with the quality we have in the back seven.

Personally I love running football and how the Ravens play offense. So selfishly I'd love to see Roman's offense executed by a mobile quarterback like Willis or Malik Cunningham.

My concern with Roman is that his schemes without the right QB have been as terrible as they are ingenious when he has the right one. With Martindale he has been in the league nearly 20 years and has coached successful position units and defenses, but has not really gotten looks for HC. Why? Are there questions about how he can lead an entire team? Some great coordinators could not take the next step because they get so wrapped up in their side of the ball.
I admittedly know nothing,

But Judge will be here next year like it or not. I dont see how he’s gone, which if they bring in a new GM which they will, is the wrong move. But such is John Mara.

I don’t think the problem is lack of head coaching experience with Judge, but that he is by his nature too conservative for today’s game. Not because of his bloodlines, but San Diego OC Joe Lombardi is intriguing for me. Coached under both offensive and defensive coaches which is important to me.

It's a garbage racist rule and should be changed... Or they should reward teams for signing players that are white, Latino and Asian etc. They could require each team to add more players that aren't black. But I'm gonna guess that somehow that would be racism in the eyes of some.

I think Bowles is a great candidate.

He’s got a good pelt on the wall, and showed strong resilience.

He’s the kind of guy I think Mara will actually respect.

Went 24-40 with the Jets which included a 10-6 season. Not a good overall record, not unlike McAdoo who went 11-5 in year 1 and then struggled.

I think this franchise is at a place where they need a steady, proven hand. I think Cowher has aged himself out. But someone of that pedigree is necessary at this stage.

A person that has set up a winning franchise for a decade plus and wasn’t successful solely due to his coordinators or raw talent on the team. This eliminates a Brian Billick type.

I want a Cowher type. I know he only got one ring but his teams always competed. Even when they had shit for QB. He got to two bowls and won one. And he was around for over a decade. And always competed.

Leftwich has done well working his way up through different systems and is a viable candidate.
Not sure Bienemy isn’t comfortable in KC.
Roman will be 50, a NJ guy, and an Asst HC experience in SF. Might be the right age, and experience level of a near HC, and the best fit from the list.

Well, Brady certainly has carte blanche to change plays. Why wouldn't he, right?

But this is Leftwich's offense and he runs the offensive meetings. Arians has basically said as much.

Hell, before Brady got there, Tampa was top five in the league in scoring with Winston at the helm.

It's great he rebounded out of that hole. However, that offensive system is Arians. He had top ones everywhere he's been.

Why don't you just become a Ravens fan and be done with it. That style of football sucks in my view. It is for people who don't understand the strategy element of the game.

A good coach five years ago might be a bad coach today. And Visa versa. A personal life can factor in, and then the human factor always confounding the prognosticator.
External circumstances: including injuries that a coach doesn't control as well as personnel choices go along way to contribute to a coaches competency.
Mara played a hunch last time, apparently it didn't work out, but it's never that unclear.

Gettleman is gone, probably was regardless but at 4-8 it’s a no brainer.

The Jones neck injury is the new development that has me convinced the Giants will make a move to either replace him or at the very least make things very uncomfortable for him with stiff competition. I’m thinking either they make use of these additional draft picks for a QB they like, or they sniff around Russell Wilson.

I expect Judge back with a new GM and the QB depth chart looking very different than it has.

Just my take.

Most likely imo. I’m curious what the offensive staff would look like. Personally, I don’t love the idea of retaining a coach but forcing an entire new offensive staff. Just change the entire staff at that point. I don’t like patchwork fixes.

My fear  
Sammo85 : 12/8/2021 9:07 am : link
is just wasting another season on flawed thinking that rearranging deck chairs will fix everything and they'll bias interviews with a GM, telling that person they need to help Judge succeed and "fix" Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley. If that's the barometer of success and precept to hire, we're in trouble.

Will there be a critical assessment of the front office scouting operation and how players are identified for development? We seem to have constant misses at key positions in how the NFL moves today (LBs are not devalued, their positional fit and talent profile has just changed from where it was 15-20, nevermind 25-30 yrs ago). OL, much the same.

Why so many injuries? Do we need to take a hard look at our conditioning/medical teams again? I know the NFL has really pushed a player safety perspective and Giants are sure to toe that line ethically with being cautious, but it never hurts to look over all facets of your operation in depth, than just check-box quickly a continuation in one area from year to year.

If we move on from Judge, I want the entire football ops overhauled. Start at the top with empowering a critically skilled and forward thinking executive who can make the decisions needed off the field that will impact how they play on (how they need to scout, profile, draft, coordinate with player development, self-scout, gameplan, condition, adjust).

And a hard assessment on the "old guard" draftees has to be done. Don't just waste a season. If it makes sense to overhaul immediately, do it.

I'd be careful. Ravens fans aren't really a big fan of his, and wouldn't be broken up if he left. His playcalling is often sketchy.

He's built an offense around an elite running QB, and for the most part that offense still plays second fiddle to their defense.

He's a good coach, but something to keep in mind is he's always had good personnel to work with. The Ravens are a defense first organization and the spending goes accordingly. I am very curious what they will sacrifice to re-sign Lamar.

Carroll with NE too


Caroll did not "fail" in NE. He had lower level of production than Bill Parcells -- a pretty tall order. His worst record was 8-8 and won in the playoffs. You are telling me you would not be as happy as a pig in mud at .500 and in the playoffs instead of Joey Timeouts?
This thread helps to prove two things...

1. There is no clear choice here

2. Nobody knows who will make a good head coach.. not even football professionals. If they did, the guy would already be a head coach in the league.

There were a few names tossed for coaches whose jobs are already secure. If you want to attract a seasoned head coach, then we need to fix the bullshit at the top of the organization.

Everyone can see what a problem John Mara is. Who wants to come here to deal with that shit, plus a horrible roster, no OL, no QB, etc. Only someone who just wants to be a head coach and is "happy to be here". I think I just named our last three head coaching hires.

No SuperBowl winning head coach  
NoPeanutz : 12/8/2021 9:44 am : link
has won again with a second team. So the ideal candidate would be someone who has come close with 1 team, but not quite gotten there. Like Andy Reid pre-KC, or the guy on NBC whose name I cant remember now when he won with Indy, he had a good team before in Tampa.

I could see Mara liking Bowles. He's a local guy, experienced, not bombastic. And to be fair, he was left to play with the mess that Rex left behind- and it was a huge mess bc Rex stuck around for 5 years and Woody let him run the team. Bowles had to come down from Geno, for whom Rex reached in the second round (and promptly got his jaw busted in the locker room), and then he had to transition to overrated and overdrafted Darnold on the way out.
I said it above

But why isn't there more love for Joe Lombardi? Coached under Sean Payton and now with Staley in Los Angeles has an idea of the defensive side of the game.

I'd be careful. Ravens fans aren't really a big fan of his, and wouldn't be broken up if he left. His playcalling is often sketchy.

He's built an offense around an elite running QB, and for the most part that offense still plays second fiddle to their defense.


He was OC with 49ers too. He has produced good offenses despite less than impressive passers.
Either a proven coach(Harbaugh)  
ghost718 : 12/8/2021 10:16 am : link
or someone like Martindale

No more list of finalists where at least 2 of them are Patriot coaches.

He exceeded expectations when he had mobile QB like Tyrod Taylor, Colin Kaepernick, and Lamar Jackson. When he was stuck with pure pocket passers his offenses struggled mightily. Some teams were successful, but that was because of league leading defenses. You watch SF with Alex Smith at QB they were doing nothing on offense, but the D was tremendous. If you were going with someone like Mariota as a stopgap to Ridder or Willis then someone like Roman might work, but it is a concern that he needs a very specific type of QB.
Unless it’s John Harbaugh

The Ravens have been devastated by injures on offense this year. Which, IMV, is why their offense has been so inconsistent. They have not been able to find any rhythm in either the running game or passing game. So I'm not sure this is the best year to evaluate Roman.

And now with all of the injuries mounting on defense - Humphrey is now gone for the year, joining Marcus Peters...so the have lost their two corners - I think the Ravens are at risk of actually missing the playoffs.

Kidding. Well, half kidding. Like 38% kidding.



It's a garbage racist rule and should be changed... Or they should reward teams for signing players that are white, Latino and Asian etc. They could require each team to add more players that aren't black. But I'm gonna guess that somehow that would be racism in the eyes of some.


Hilarious.

That's the point. So go and get that type of quarterback. They're easy to find - college is producing tons of them.

I think Bowles is a great candidate.

Got his ass kicked as a head coach, and went right back to work and succeeded.

He’s got a good pelt on the wall, and showed strong resilience.

He’s the kind of guy I think Mara will actually respect.


I don't know...we basically said the same thing about Shurmur.

If they are so easy to find and colleges are producing tons of them, why do so many teams need a QB? My issue is that personnel will not always be healthy and you will have holdover contracts that you won't be able to get out of so I would prefer someone who is more flexible in terms of what is needed in order to have success.

The Ravens are in the same IR/injury boat as the Giants. Except they are built well. Living here and watching as many of their games (since my kid is a fan) to me that's the difference between 4-8 and 8-4.

They'll make the playoffs and get bounced. Local fans will once again rip Lamar for things out of his control, and the beat will go on around here.
