Anyone surprised by the lack of leaks...

I actually think that is a good thing for a change versus the last decade of wired" searches"/
well

there were no "leaks" last time. We just all knew that Gettleman was the predetermined choice once Accorsi was hired as consultant.
Remember someone has to say "yes"

Judge has this place locked down!

No one saw that free medium Pepsi coming until a few days before gameday.
Judge

was hired the night before it became public; the leak didn't happen until the Giants went full bore making sure everyone knew they didn't "lose out" on Rhule the next morning by letting everyone know they had already finalized a deal with Judge the night before. So no leaks happened then, no one had a sniff that Judge was a serious contender until the Giants let it be known the next morning immediately after the Panthers ink'd Rhule.
Who can leak?

There are 3 people in the room. This was addressed in Jordan Raanans podcast. Said it’s a very exclusive group of 3 or 4 people that know anything. Easy to control leaks.

That and the two QB sneaks on 2nd and 3rd and long. All of the inanity was well guarded under his reign.
Not really

Unlike draft where you have scouts and coaches who have insights, these situations are much more controlled group of people involved. And those involved are working around the clock, so not much time to talk to anyone. I don't recall many leaks in Joe Judge hiring.

There are 3 other people to add to that "exclucive group" of Giants' decision-makers. It's conceivable that if the Giants are making the announcement today they've already told the two "losers" that they're NOT getting the GM position...and they may have told those two candidates who will be the next GM. Either one of them or anyone that they've told could leak the info.

Ouff - this would really be damning for the NYG organization.

IF it were to happen and IF it were to leak out - it would be a PR nightmare.

people on the new GM's side potentially
The leaks have always come from the administration or from the  
Ivan15 : 1/21/2022 8:47 am : link
Coaching staff. The coaching staff was not involved in this one, and the “leakers” in the administration have retired, moved on, or had their job restructured over the years.
To be fair  
Mike from Ohio : 1/21/2022 8:52 am : link
there are always other people in the organization who know stuff before it is public.

Someone in the Giants front office is setting up hotel/flights for one of them to come back in for a press conference or even temporary housing for them and their family starting next week.

There are PR folks being told to start press releases and website background on the person so they can put that up as soon as they are named.

The leak does not have to come from a decision maker. It can come from lower level staff involved in all of the details.
Things start to leak when you get to the contract stage  
Essex : 1/21/2022 8:54 am : link
Agents, lawyers, expanded universe. I would imagine as it gets closer we will get hints because more people will get an idea of where we are leaning with reference checks, contracts, legal teams etc.

If the two losers know, we would know, especially since Schoen and Poles are up for the Minny job
Tons more people involved with the draft

for info to leak out.
There was a leak  
I Love Clams Casino : 1/21/2022 10:21 am : link
or what seemed like a leak, on ESPN which named Schoen the new GM
The Giants are basically putting out press releases  
David B. : 1/21/2022 11:19 am : link
On their official site about everyone they interviewed. The info is out. What's to leak?
hard to leak

Exactly.

Unless these guys like O'Connor are getting their intel from the Mara's or Tisch, they are making it up.

Minnesota and NYG have been extremely tight-lipped so far. I've only heard speculation and guesswork.

They are going to extraordinary lengths this time.
The leaks have almost always come from the  
Section331 : 1/21/2022 11:54 am : link
personnel dept, whether it's who the Giants want to draft or sign as a FA, somebody or bodies just can't help themselves and blab to the media the first chance they get. Hopefully they are swept out when the new sheriff arrives.
I wouldn't say it has been totally leak free.
