NY Football Giants Expected to Name a General Manager Today

.

.

Can't screw this up!

3 or 4 or I can't figure out how many times we've changed either GM of HC, hopefully we get it right. Eric's opinion of the Mara's football intelligence has been on my mind for the last 8 weeks and can't help but be worried that even though they've stepped out of their comfort zone, they still don't know who's a good candidate and who's is not.

... but little did Jim know that the Giants would find themselves making the worst possible decision they could ever make


I kid - I'm excited about the upcoming announcement.

We feel Kevin Abrams is just as good. Welcome Kevin!"

Is Giants are getting a solid GM.

Hope they can do the same with a Head Coach. It s a tricky proposition picking a coach. But priority one will be to fix the offense.

Exciting times

and McDaniel( not McDaniels) as next hc.

Poles had interviewed with several teams for GM. Not sure why he would accept Assistant GM.

if you're a fan - this has to be a glimmer of hope in what has been a really tough decade of NYG football.

Let's hope a fresh set of eyes really does get the chance to come in and revamp how the NYG do football from top to bottom.

what does an assistant GM do? If any of these individuals were offered an asst GM position with the Giants why would they leave their current position? Especially if there are opportunities in their current organization?

I doubt Poles is coming here as asst GM. He has a similar type position in KC. More likely the GM choice brings someone he's comfortable with from his current team to fill that role.

Agreed but at least they figured out who to interview. Selected from outside the “family”, no direct ex-Giant connection (except Carthon), no TV people. As it turned out, retrospectively, they may not end up picking the best candidate but at least they can’t be too far wrong.

If he can't pick a good HC, he might not then be a good GM

Having a guy come in to interview for the GM role and then offering him Assistant GM would be insulting. Not going to happen.

I'm not 100% sure of their duties, but what I can tell you is that one of my teammates in college has been an assistant GM in multiple NFL organizations.

Then go out and get us a head coach to lead this team.

I would be curious as to his HC selection though. Daboll seems like an obvious front runner.

Me also. And wouldn’t Daboll be killing two birds with one stone? Wouldn’t he serve as his own O coordinator?

He'd almost certainly hire an OC, even if it's an assistant in the Joe Philbin vein of OCs who don't call plays but do a lot of quality control and planning.

it's already been "accidentally" announced on ESPN.

Doubt that's more than a coincidence, but what the hell do I know?

Thanks….we shall see

I’d be disappointed with Scheon at this point, btw Boomer thinks he is the guy. But after reading all the people who are extolling Peters I would prefer him.

I'll try to be happy with whoever they hire.

But we're still gonna suck unless we get a top tier QB

How about assistant to the regional GM?

Sorry, I'm actually feeling positive today. But we gotta ring every last ounce out of that one.

Haha. I spit out my coffee, almost heard the NFL Network/Films narrator with the deep voice reading that.

how the Bears GM job search is being run, haven't seen much there recently although they've interviewed a ton of candidates.

They did a thorough and efficient search of external candidates. They moved on from DG and didn’t even interview Abrams. Kudos to Tisch and Mara for diagnosing the issue and fixing it. Whoever they select, I will get behind.

I agree Mike. Not only that, but I imagine that would be uncomfortable for the GM, sorta like having his replacement waiting in the wings, or worse yet trying to subtly undermine him.

Quote: Ian O'Connor @Ian_OConnor As expected, word is Adam Peters was great yesterday with the Giants. I believe he made it a two-man race with Joe Schoen. Everyone sees the younger Ryan Poles as a big star in the making. Giants will make decision today. I'd put 20 bucks on Schoen but Peters is right there.

Separate and stickied thread on this already.

I like the fact that they had a thorough list of accomplished candidates, and they also are not behind at all on the HC front. No hires yet there. They didn't need to rush, and they didn't - which is great.

is that site traffic has been higher in January than it was in December. We know the reasons why, but still.

and I think they've finally set themselves up for success with whoever they end up with here.

HC is the second part that they MUST get correct. This organization can't afford to continue the drop and can't afford another 2 and done HC. This is even a more critical hire IMO.

The time of year between January and September has been the more interesting and exciting Giants football time for years.

Here’s hoping this is the last year this is true.

Football season is the worst time of year for Giants fans.

that's what I've been trying to get across to the Giants. They are losing the interest of fans.

My kids want to like the Giants. The team makes it impossible.

My kids (6 & 8yo) just feel bad for me and don't understand why I torture myself every Sunday

out of the finalists. I will say however that whoever it turns out to be better use our two first round picks on addressing the Offensive Line. If not I will stop following a team I have been a fan of since the early 60's and may go as far as to leave BBI.

That is my ultimatum!!!!!

Probably true. No offense, but if you carry a similar attitude at home as you on this site these days, you are very likely contributing to the matter. We are seeing some legitimate signs of hope here at least but you refuse to acknowledge an inch of it and have given up all hope, only add to gloom and doom. If your kids are like mine, they probably feed on that.

On an aside, your voice carries a lot of that same weight here too. Many posters look to you to make sense of what is going on. They trust you. When everything you do tells them there is no hope, it sucks it out of them.

on twitter the choice is Peters

(if you trust him...I don't have a great sense either way but just thought I'd post it)
