Can a tiger change his stripes?
If Joe Judge remains as coach of the Giants, does he have the capacity to self-evaluate, recognize his faults and change the way he coaches?
Judge’s coaching philosophy undermines the team’s ability to succeed. Judge is conservative to a fault. He coaches scared. Judge plays not to lose rather than trying to win.
This philosophy filters down to the coaches and players. The team plays tentatively trying to avoid errors. Aggression is filtered out of the play.
The offense has become offensive. I have never seen such a poorly coached offense. The opposing defenses come into a game without fear of the Giants attacking the boundaries. They play the run and stop the Giants. There is no attempt to force the action. The Giants resorted to gimmicks when they attempted to be aggressive, they do this because the team cannot run basic plays to pick up 3 yards.
Vince Lombardi did not care if the opponent knew what he was running. He just forced his will. That is aggression.
The defense played well at times but also subscribes to a conservative approach. The bend and not break is another example of coaching not to lose. The Giants played predominantly a 2 deep zone with three or four rushing. The team took away the long pass plays but at the expense of stopping the run, short or intermediate passing. It was death by a thousand paper cuts.
Other than the best player on the team Graham Gano , the specials were anything other than special. The Giants one attempt to be aggressive on the specials was an ill-timed and poorly executed a fake punt. I am not certain if Dixon is so bad, or he was kicking tentatively to avoid getting a punt block.
Judge’s philosophy can be seen on the field as well. His use of timeouts is incomprehensible. Calling timeouts to change a defense, to change the offense, to avoid a 5-yard delay of game penalty. This is not about a lack of aggression but occurs due to a fear of failure. He was looking for the perfect call.
Judge is a smart coach who knows football and understands team football. But he has no confidence in the team. Perhaps his lack of confidence is well founded but can he change when the team improves the talent? Can he coach to win?
This is starting to sound like wives stuck in abusive relationships.
to fix a problem you have to acknowledge and understand it, and i dont know how we can expect change if we don't see that (and we haven't).

Right - cause never in the history of football has a young head coach started off slow.
The Russians turning on Drago & cheering Rocky...most absurd thing I've ever seen in a sports movie. And I still think that's my favorite Rocky movie, Haha.
He said in his last PC that this is the philosophy he believes in. It’s not going to change. It’s who he is.
Counter point - Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions?
Inferior talent being coached not to win...10-23. Let's get more where that came from!

Watching that movie in a theater in Staten Island, people were literally chanting USA-USA-USA in the aisles!
Rocky III was better IMO.
I know he uses a lot of fancy terminology,but it doesn't add up to much.

The Rocky character arc is like a boxing themed Flowers for Algernon. He's borderline-retarded in that first movie. Not as a pejorative, his IQ is a legit 65 tips. Then because they decided to make more he gradually got smarter. By 3 he was an average guy and by 4 he literally looked like he had evolved 3 generations from the caveman who took Adrian to the zoo. Then by 5 he gets punched back into stupid.
Rocky Balboa = Charlie Gordon.
Playing not to lose is NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, a good plan. Why do we have to suffer through his growing pains (possibly permanent coaching ineptitude)????
I like a good redemption story.
Beats jamming fists full of pessimistic sand into my vagina every day.
The experiment, which I endorsed, has failed.

You can't be serious right?

This analogy would be sound. Except, he really didn’t get smarter. He just got richer, lost his paternal figure, twice, and eventually lost those riches because he was, well, Rocky.
Neville Chamberlain changed. It was he, not Churchill, who secured parliament's declaration of war on Germany. Having corrected his error of appeasement, he hoped to just go on from there. But, Parliament (and the public) would have no more of him. Now that the country was at war, they wanted a real leader at the helm.
MP Leo Amery's words at that moment to Chamberlain might as well be spoken to Judge: "you have sat here too long for any good you are doing. . . . In the name of God, go."

Judge is basically full of shit. No matter what he does, he'll still be full of it. A Belichick wannabe without the Belichick talent.
If you don't know how to fix the problems, and just start throwing other people under the bus because of it, you're not going to change anyway but get worse.
Maybe the Giants could let him be Vice President in charge of culture. Alternately, I think he'd be really good at selling mattresses. I'm sure John Mara will line up to get some.

Then he gets canned went to Jacksonville and changed right back to who he was before
Coughlin?
Coughlin?
That's how I think he could change.

Change is probably not the right term/word. They learned from their mistakes and grew to become championship HCs. The real question for Judge (if the team keeps him), can he also learn from his mistakes and grow as a HC.

Can he change? Sure. He can change his diarrhea of the mouth and bullshit. But, thay won't make him a better coach. He's just a ST coach on HC clothing. Abd, at that our ST suck. Instead of embarrassing your handpicked OL coach, why didn't he grt on the field and coach ST?
I don't care if he can change. I do t care if he one day gets it. He took a bad and struggling team and made it worse. He played a big part on this clown show mantra.
