According to CBS Sports.

Quote:

The New York Giants might be on the verge of making a huge addition to their defensive coaching staff.

CBS Sports is reporting that Leslie Frazier, defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills from 2017-2022, is in discussion with the Giants to join their staff.

Frazier, though, has options. He is also reportedly being sought by the Green Bay Packers and Washington Commanders.

Anything that comes out like this just screams

leverage by Frazier's side.

Nothing to see here, for now

The linked article is just rehashing a Josina Anderson tweet from the other day that merely states that Frazier is visiting different teams. Not even a hint that he's being sought, or is actively looking, for a new gig right now.

I mean, I would think he is definitely looking for some sort of role on a new team, if only to set himself up for next winter's head coach hiring season. He's been coaching in the NFL since 1999, so I don't know why he'd need to make these visits just to keep his relationships fresh.

I know we're not hiring him as DC, but Frazier lost me for good as a credible defensive mind when he oversaw the ending to that Chiefs Bills AFC title game. THERE WERE 13 SECONDS LEFT!

After getting fired by Jacksonville, Coughlin

spent the next summer observing other teams’ training camps, I believe. Perhaps that’s what Frazier is looking for.

Agreed, that was brutal. His Bills defenses had a history of not closing big games.

Sorta like Eagles and Vic Fangio

Too much bend don’t break from Frazier for my liking, but his guys knew how to tackle

Nothing against him per se

David B. : 6/8/2023 1:31 am : link

But why would they need him?

Just having another quality defensive mind in the building. Think of it as coaching depth.

Nobody second guesses Wink or would try to..😎..That said, it’s kinda overkill..Too many chefs in the kitchen?

Dude is a good coach.

I trust Daboll and Wink to only add him if it makes sense. His defensive style seems different than Wink, which does make this interesting.

He's not going to be our DC this year or calling plays,

BLUATHRT : 6/8/2023 9:10 am : link

so if he's added, a good defensive coach to help along the way isn't a bad thing.

I don't

Eric from BBI : Admin : 6/8/2023 9:12 am : link

think this report is accurate. Stapleton tweeted a couple of days ago that this was not about interviewing for a job.

Not the worse thing

Lines of Scrimmage : 6/8/2023 9:17 am : link

to have a DC who has spent the last few years in the AFCE who the Giants face this season.

If the reports are true,

what job would Frazier be looking for?
