Could Contract Talks With All Three Candidates

clatterbuck : 1/19/2022 5:51 pm
already be under way? Not sure how this works. I would think contract parameters are part of the in-person interviews so maybe announcement could come Friday? (he said hopefully). Fwiw, after what's transpired over the past decade, I'm happy with any one of these guys. I also hope the ability on the administrative side to restructure and reorganize the whole football operation quickly is part of the consideration in addition to draft and personnel acumen.

I would think their Agents

would weigh in by now
Or have

I dont know what they would want to talk about...

the franchise is at near rock bottom. If they think a particular candidate is the guy who can help bring it back to life... then you pay him.
I can't see them going on a wide search,

talk about giving the new GM the run of the show, and quibbling over the money. You're paying old coaches and losing season ticket holders. It's a classic "takes money to make money" scenario.
Tricky to negotiate without making any offer.

Not exactly a negotiation without that. You can find out what each agent’s opening position is but if I were the Giants I would prefer to make the opening offer.

This should be an area where Steve Tisch would be a great resource. He’s overseen many high-stakes Hollywood talent negotiations. His lawyers are probably quite skilled at this.

Yeah, these guys have agents. You don’t try to get into money during the job interview. Leave the negotiating to the pros on both sides.
With the requests beginning to interview for head coaches (Quinn)

things have to be very close on GM selection...
I'm not sure how detailed...

these contracts get with delegation of authority, but if I'm the GM I'm making it is perfectly clear that I am COMPLETELY in charge of ALL football operations.

And the reporting hierarchy.
I don't recall any rumors or stories

of the Giants being cheap. Players are a different story with a cap, but in terms of staff, facilities, travel etc.

I am sure exec salaries are also weighted for cost of living around NYC.

In short I don't think money would be an issue. Perhaps contract length, considering the quick trigger the org has had lately. The last 3 coaches were compensated well, but also have passed the likelyhood of ever being a HC again. I can see the GM wanting 5/ 6 years. . That's their mess, so fuck 'em. trust fund babies have been buying their way out of problems since the jump.
Unless the lawyers are sitting in the interviews

there is a 0% chance the candidates and owners are negotiating a contract in person.
Is it possible

All GM’s interviewed thought highly of Dan Quin or at least mentioned him and now they preemptively scheduled an interview for the sake of the new GM, whom ever he is going to be…

I am pretty certain that all the candidates were asked who they would like to see as their coach(or at least interview). Also pretty certain if all three listed Quinn and Flores, the Giants will attempt to set up meetings or see what dates these coaches would be available. Remember if these coaches are making the rounds, the Giants want to let them know that they are interested to prevent a coach signing with another team before at least thinking the Giants were interested.

I have a feeling the new GM will be announced this weekend.
