Save the time and power through more GM interviews, get it done as fast as possible. You have a really good list of candidates, we want you spending the next few days with them so someone is hired in time to get us a good HC.
No one really wants to hear from you that badly.
Didn't someone say they had been speaking with Joe Schoen already?
Like to hear him taking responsibility for the mess of the last decade via meddling and cronyism. The last two days show he’s slowly coming around of the need to transform the organization. But instead of laying the blame on the GM or coach he should be saying it’s on me.
Hopefully reporters dig into whether he personally plans to be involved in the head coaching search or if it’s truly the decision of the new GM?
Q. John, was Kevin Abrams ever a consideration for becoming GM and if not, why?
A. Kevin was a potential consideration until I found out he was as bad at player evaluation as he was at managing the cap.
Q. John, was Chris Mara ever a consideration for GM and if not, why?
A. Chris is, as you already know an owner, so there would be a clear conflict of interest if we made him GM.
Q. John, please one follow up....isn't there a similar conflict though now with Chris having the role of Senior VP of Player Personnel?
A. No, because he really just uses that office we gave him to keep up with news on his ponies and play Minecraft.

And if Mara didn't face the press some would be criticising him for ducking the media and the fans.
Mara has 2 GM interviews today and 2 more tomorrow. I think he's got time for a presser.
that NOBODY asks a softball/kiss-ass question, and that the heat is kept on for the entire PC, what's Hanlon gonna do, pull the entire beat's press passes? I wish they would get after him and not let him off the hook.
"John, you have mentioned in the past that many decisions are formed with a collaborative approach (HC, Draft, FA, etc.). You have mentioned building a consensus. Can you better explain what this entails and what changes if any are you going to implement with the new GM"?
We need to let Mara constantly know..every day that its his family. He, Chris and Tim that are to blame for this and Giant fans want real changes in the front office. What role do the mara's have in the complete distruction of this franchise? That would be a solid question to ask. The Giants are by far the worst team in the entire NFL. He has to hear these words.
Firing the GM and Coach both who he hired and he kept this Disaster of a GM on for 4 years...is a good start. We need more sweeping changes. The main problem is the nepotism in this awful organization. Not one pat on the back for this big gigantic moron today.
Hopefully there will be a reporter who has the journalistic
integrity to ask the most important question at this point which is "what changes are you contemplating to the player personnel department"? Chris Mara's presence as an important member of the player personnel department (he holds the title of VP) is the only thing left which e a real turn off to potential GM candidates. He needs to address that issue.

That is a valid question. Therefore, it should be asked, and Mara should answer. It's really time to get underneath this issue and find out if the incoming GM can really dictate how personnel is staffed.
meant to be insightful from those meant to be humorous from those that seem just angry. I have been here since “Pete’s” and can’t remember such self confidence in so many posters sense of importance, knowledge, or their own sense of humor. So many good posters missing it’s like the site has undergone a major roster change and the result is far worse than ever.
the good side is it makes for less to do as I can read far less here and use my time more efficiently. Still have great appreciation for Eric’s success at his dream and providing a place that could be enjoyable for Giant fans.
Art and Ralph mentioning on Twitter that Gettleman is getting off light compared to Judge.
then one of their first questions should be "Why wasn't Dave Gettleman made available during the season prior to his retirement? What message does that send to the paying customer?"
I still fear that, regardless of whom we hire at the top,
the folks who grade linemen will be the same as the ones who brought us Richburg, Pugh, Flowers, and Hernandez – all drafted far too high. We did well with Thomas, but it was hard to go wrong with a quartet of good tackles in 2020.

With the expectation they are going totally outside the organization for the next GM and head coach, there is optimism a fresh set of scouts will get it rioght this time
“We are moving Chris Mara and Petit to different jobs within the organization so to illustrate zero interference with Player personnel decisions.
We thank Joe for his efforts and many of his changes, but felt he wasn’t seasoned enough for this job in our marketplace. Therefore, Steve and I have agreed to go with our new GMs recommendations on coaches as well as player personnel decisions.
We anticipate being in or very near being in the playoff next season. Either way, the NY Giants product will be an enjoyable and competitive contest.”
RE: this season or year, i find it difficult to separate threads which are
Think some on BBI are going to be disappointed. Mara isn’t going to say anything of substance. He’s going to say he is disappointed how this season went. He expects better and is looking to get better. Blah, blah, blah.

hahhahaah - I can't figure out how to do it either :)

Given all three are in the playoffs and Mara is presumably in New Jersey, I doubt this is an announcement.
I strongly doubt it, they risk much with this tactic. Need the new GM to be a strong individual who's able to spot and move out the poor performers.
Unlike Monday when he let Logan Ryan take his bullets.
It's gonna be live on WFAN. Heard them say that when I was in the car.

Much like the Giants, oh the irony!!!!
Let’s see how many qualified candidates now say No Thank you…

They just said John Mara is not on yet. Assume that they will carry it.
