Does it seem odd that Abrams hasn't had any interest around the league for a possible GM position.

Is he safe? Will he be fired?

What is the status of Abrams if/when we hire a GM sch as Schoen or Hortiz?

Can be a good gm. Lots more than scouting goes into being a good gm. Give me an asst gm first. That’s Schoen or Peters.

not odd at all.

abrams is assistant GM and capologist for one of the losingest and most poorly constructed teams in the league, and one whose cap situation is a bad joke.

abrams should be run out as soon as a new GM is in place.
That’s good news

Nope. Just one is required to be in person if conducting initial interviews virtually (they technically had four meeting the initial virtual rule requirement).

Is it too early to start discussing the nicknames of some of these candidates? You know we need to have some in the chamber for when they inevitably screw up and we begin to eviscerate them in every post.

Breeze_94 : 1/18/2022 2:29 pm : link
A lot based on everything I’ve read.

While I don’t hate Daboll as his HC pairing, I don’t think he’d be top of my list. He’d be a first time HC and while he’s done a great job with Allen, his tenures in Cleveland, Miami and KC left something to be desired. I believe he had a bottom 5 offense in 3 of 4 years combined.

Would hope Schoen considers guys like Flores and Harbaugh before automatically picking Daboll (assuming the rumors are true)
Habaugh probably would want…

if watson has the sex charges in the rearview mirror i would absolutely be on board. remember the giants are a team that stood idly by when their punter beat his wife.

what watson is accused of is much less serious.

there are tons of industries where interviewing often is a norm.

i would think interviewing for a GM position would be invaluable experience-- both over zoom and in-person.

who knows what was exactly discussed in round one. its possible the family dynamic issue wasnt broached over zoom, or if it was that he isn't concerned about it.

but round one interviews are more brief and general so would think the chris/timm thing would be more appropriate to discuss in-person.
Schoen terrifies me  
NoGainDayne : 1/18/2022 3:22 pm : link
because unlike someone like Hortiz we will not have a read on if his hire means the Giants intend to really change or if it is a bid to maintain their systems vs. overhaul them.

The Schoen connection being a DG --> Beane disciple looks a little bit too much like their old process of hiring to not sound alarm bells. Throw in all the Parcells stuff on that note too.

Schoen is a smart guy clearly but so was DG, smart enough to get a GM job of his own too. Clearly just being smart isn't enough to heal whatever festering wounds we have inside that building.

And you have to consider the more someone might feel like a fit for the Mara's the less they feel like they will have to change what they are doing, the more afraid we should be of that candidate...

I know you bash everything front office related and for the most part rightfully so but this take is just overboard.

Schoen and Gettleman never crossed paths in Carolina.

Gettleman inherited Beane from the Hurney regime.

It's pretty obvious from Beane's work in Buffalo- he has nothing in common with Gettleman.

Yea, I get that. People want to interview for the networking/experience. Just kind of putting everything together like the fact we have been in conversations with him for months, he flies in for a 2nd interview, etc., I would be surprised if he is not interested.
You don’t interview for experience in a tight industry like the NFL  
Mike from Ohio : 1/18/2022 4:34 pm : link
If you make owners spend that kind of time interviewing and then turn the job down for something you knew going into the first interview, all you did was waste their time and tell them you don’t take them seriously.

This isn’t your run of the mill sales job or IT dept where you can waste someone’s time because you will never see them again. Do something disrespectful and every future employer will know about it.

If he had strong reservations about the management structure, those likely should have at least been tabled in the initial discussion so the owners could address it.

If he had multiple offers and made an educated decision based on facts and his personal preference, then fine.

If he made it due to the Duggan article and/or without doing his own due diligence on the situation, then that is immature and unprofessional on his part.

Woah now. I've been pretty complimentary of them lately. Not sure if you followed the DG hiring thread but I don't think one person nailed how bad it was going to be and the specific problems remotely as well as I did. So if you think I am negative just for the sake of it you are incorrect.
I'd also add if you look at the roles and responsibilities

he knows the situation....he wouldnt take a second interview (much like it seems horitz hasnt). schoen coming in for a second means he wants to be here and is definitely considering us as a serious spot to land
