"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."

Probably. But NFL history is filled with wrong choices that "couldn't be wrong." (See Peyton Manning versus Ryan Leaf).
Nope. They leave right away pretty much. If their teams win the SB, they'd still get a ring, but unlike coaches this is a right away job, too much stuff with draft, cap, contracts, free agency and scouting coming up.
No
McDaniel scares the hell out of me. He's only been an OC for 1 season, most of the time he's been WR coach or Running Coordinator. Thats quite a jump from Run game coordinator to HC in 2 seasons.

You’re right. I should rephrase it and say “in terms of potential and impressions within the industry you can’t go wrong with either of these two guys.”

thats what I said before this search. Interview the candidates make a list.
Pick the one at the bottom of his list.
By all accounts this was Schoen's job wrapped up early on and I honestly think we would have heard a decision yesterday if it wasn't for Peters.
A Ryans/McDaniel pairing would be fantastic.

I really like McDaniel’s personality. He’s like a nerdy analytics guy, but he embraces it and is wicked funny in press conferences.

would be such a fascinating 180 from what we've been used to.
That's fair but he's really been the run-game coordinator since joining SF; they just didn't have an OC because that title fell to Shanahan. Basically he and LaFleur (passing coordinator) were splitting duties until 2021 and effectively were co-offensive coordinators since 2017.

Agreed. Give it to Peters. It’s amazing, going into the process I was all in on Schoen. Now, he feels predictable. Still would be a big upgrade.

Ok, so who from the list whoisn't Hortiz, Poles, Peters, and Schoen should they have selected?
It's alawys been a 3-4 man race. The other candidates really weren't qualified to be GM's yet. Most of them never ran a draft room.
I'm saying out of the finalists pick the one that is most unlike what Mara does.
+1

The good news about being wrong all the time is that you know how to be right. Just do the opposite of what you've always done.
On BBI maybe, but all the polls by the beats had Schoen with most support.
They are not my worry.
My worry is how much control they will actually have. Will they be allowed to gut the scouting department? Can they really hire the coaches? Can they tell Chris Mara to stay out of personnel issues?

more love for Peters from fans. Schoen may be the frontrunner, but Peters has the popular vote.

I was referring to Twitter actually, my whole feed is just Peters love. Just an observation though. It will be really interesting to see the reaction once the decision is made.
I hope we get the smartest, most forward thinking guy who doesn't rely on cluches and truisms to do his job. That's what I hope.
Get the snaetest guy, not the most footballiest guy.
