Saturday will be retained as Irsay loves the guy, but it’s still something to keep an eye on.
Hopefully he gets turned off enough by Irsay dry humping his

The only thing I can think of is when you do it in New York, there is more of a spotlight.
Part of being a good franchise is getting poached from

It’s on Daboll to have a pipeline in place to replace the coordinators. Philly may lose both candidates and they are always losing front office people.

Wink deserves it. He’s been overlooked for years. Selfishly I hope he stays, but he has made it known he wants to be a HC some day. Mara should have hired him over Judge in 2020.
Don't do it Jim  
Blue Dream : 1/27/2023 10:23 am : link
He is no Jeff Saturday. Don't want to miss out on that
Can't see a strong-minded guy like Wink taking that job.  
Racer : 1/27/2023 10:24 am : link
Saturday will be in the building pulling Littlefinger moves on Irsay to perpetuity. Can't possibly go well.

That job will go to Saturday or to a young'un who is desperate for their shot in my opinion.
uh ohhh

They poach Martindale, I hope Drew Wilkins is looked at to take over as coordinator.

He got a lot of praise from Wink prior to being hired.
NO!

Noooooo!
If Wink gets an HC offer  
JB_in_DC : 1/27/2023 10:36 am : link
I bet he'll take it. He's not gonna wait for the right one, he's waited long enough and with age and side of the ball working against him he will jump.
This Would Suck  
Bernie : 1/27/2023 10:36 am : link
My fear is the Giants lose him to Indy and Kafka to Houston.
When you are good  
blueblood : 1/27/2023 10:39 am : link

Losing Wilkins would be a big loss

If Wink were to go to Indy, I think he'd bring OLB coach Drew Wilkins with him to be his DC.

Wilkins had a big impact with Giants' young talent this year.

I think they'll both be back with NYG, but Daboll has to prepare with options just in case. Same with Mike Kafka.
Hmm  
George : 1/27/2023 10:43 am : link
Makes me wonder if we're in danger of losing Wilkins to a DC opening somewhere else this winter...

Lines of Scrimmage : 1/27/2023 10:49 am : link
Coaches are on two year contracts. Not sure on how that works but I believe the Giants could promote Wilkins if Wink left. Wanting to is BD’s decision and I imagine both would want that situation and part of the discussion and decision.

Another team wanting Wilkins if Wink stays is a different scenario and Wilkins would have to want that job if presented.
I think  
Hades07 : 1/27/2023 10:50 am : link
Jerome Henderson will be DC if Wink leaves and we stay in house for DC.

Though I would not be surprised to see this crew look outside the org for a new DC.
A definite non-zero percent chance  
Spiciest Memelord : 1/27/2023 10:53 am : link
he gets the job.

As good a job as Wink did, gun to my head I do prefer a more bend but don't break Fangio Cover 6 over Winks attacking D style. Hell Fangio is sitting around on his couch eating Doritos right now I believe.
Fangio is the favorite

I think he has a chance

I can see Wink's personality being a hit with Irsay.
 
ryanmkeane : 1/27/2023 11:04 am : link
Damn, hope Irsay does the dumb thing and stays with Saturday
Noooooooooo  
I Love Clams Casino : 1/27/2023 11:05 am : link
please please please please

It just confounds the shit outta me

I mean I understand why they are interested in Wink, but it just frustrates the hell outta me that he's on equal billing as DeMeco Ryans....I mean, really?

Can ya just leave the Giants alone please.....aaahhhhhh JFC!

Hire Ryans, not Wink ya dopes!

I don’t know man. Apparently Colts fans have started a petition to voice their displeasure with hiring Saturday. Between that and supposedly members of the front office have been trying to talk Irsay out of it, I think he will ultimately give in and hire someone else.
If Wink wasn't willing to take the job

Ahem! Where did Daboll and Schoen come from? Were they fresh-sprung from the earth, or did we 'poach' them from some other team? (Not to mention Hodgins 🙄).

His point is that it happens when the Giants have ONE semi decent season. Guys like Daboll and Schoen were with an organization that had sustained success.

jtfuoco : 1/27/2023 11:56 am : link
Would hurt the giants on multiple levels not only would we lose wink but he will most certainly take a bunch of assistant coaches with him. Then add the longer it takes the more coaching options to replace wink dry up with Zimmer going to colorado it's already and others securing there next job.
I know these are coveted positions  
ghost718 : 1/27/2023 12:03 pm : link
But with this job,you have to take into consideration you could be replaced at any point by a Colts Hot Dog Vendor.
Who would be your choice as Winks  
GFAN52 : 1/27/2023 12:06 pm : link
Replacement if not in-house?
Irsay is crazy  
Essex : 1/27/2023 12:13 pm : link
who knows what goes through his mind. He names Saturday a coach to begin with--who in their right mind would do that. Anyone who says they know what goes into his thinking is lying. This is a total we will see what happens, but there is no reason to think Wink could not get the job.
Raanan seems to think  
Metnut : 1/27/2023 12:25 pm : link
that giving him a big raise could keep him in NY and cause him to withdraw from Colts interviews (if I'm reading what he wrote correctly).

A big part of Wink's exit from Baltimore was the Ravens not agreeing to the lucrative extension he was asking for.

Absolutely take a shot with Wilkins. Probably keep a similiar defense too plus add a few wrinkles
I don’t know much about him but it would be helpful not to start from scratch
Love having WINK but we need players , that’s what I am focused on.
Same with Kafka, daboll imprint all over the offense
There are so many good coordinators out there. Key is getting right one

But who are all these coaches that we lose? Spags got a HC job. I know years ago we lost Lombardi, Landry, Bekichick, and Fox. But I feel like we make too much about losing coaches. It has been a long time.

He's an inspirational guy who's more than paid any dues that need paying. Not a bad foil for their unpredictable owner, either.

The Indianapolis Colts are bringing in New York Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale for a second head coach interview.

Following the news that Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn pulled his name from the candidacy, the Colts quickly found a replacement from their initial list of coaches.

Martindale already interviewed once virtually so he’s among the finalists for the head coach vacancy. An exact date for the interview hasn’t been set, but Martindale is expected to do so this weekend.

Entering Friday, the Colts have held second interviews with interim head coach Jeff Saturday and Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. They are scheduled to interview Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris on Friday.

...
A number of candidates that have already been interviewed are coaching in the conference championship round of the playoffs, including Shane Steichen, Eric Bieniemy and Brian Callahan.

All three of those candidates can be interviewed a second time after the conference championship games conclude, regardless of the outcome.

The Colts had plans to interview San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans, but he canceled last weekend to focus on their divisional-round playoff game against the Cowboys.

However, because the Colts didn’t interview Ryans before the divisional round, they cannot interview him until after the Super Bowl is concluded, per NFL rules.

This is a terrible list. Wink might get it.

I agree, hopefully cokehead is dumb enough to hire Saturday.

Really wants to be a HC, but I don’t see him taking, stuff, from Irsay.
Which means Wink is gone.

It'd suck if we lost Wink, but I'm be happy for the man. He deserves a HC gig.
