Continue to hire unproven coaches? After he who shall not be named got the boot in 1992, Dan Reeves came in and brought stability back. After Coach Fassel, the Giants brought in Coughlin. We need a proven winner to jumpstart this franchise…even just to calm the fan base. I have zero faith in another rookie administration.
McCarthy isn’t too good, same for Peyton.
Vrable is the guy to try and get. The question is will he wanna come here?
Dan had us an Overtime away from Homefield advantage, NFC East title and the best record in the NFL.

Did we get any of those.
I don’t think he is a good head coach and it makes it worse now that he’s calling the O. He’s taken on too much. He needs to learn to be the head coach 1st instead of doing 2 jobs.
He has called 2 terrible games so far. How do you only send 2 receivers out on multiple occasions? We should have had Gillian practicing more kicks on the sideline at the very least. If we kick 1 XP we probably win as it would have forced wash to go for it. But that why he’s a bad coach, he doesn’t see ahead. His use of timeouts is always bizarre. He should fire himself as OC till he leans the head coach job

Would Bill Parcells and Tom Coughlin be interested in an encore?
I am only half kidding.
Hold back the 24 from coming hot out of the gate. Theres a chance we hit on 4 guys this draft in Theo/Nubin/Phillips and Nabers
Coughlin was strong willed but also a very loyal company man.
We need another Parcells-type who isn't afraid to be a pain in the ass to ownership when they have to.
Will Mara allow it?
he has no vision. he is simply trying to copy what he sees other franchises do.
that, and that established coaches know better than to come coach for John Mara. it’s the quickest way to tarnish your legacy at this point.
that’s what the “hire BB!” folks don’t seem to get. BB wants nowhere near this train wreck. he didn’t 30 years ago. he has 6 rings, millions of dollars and a cushy sports talk gig since then. you think he views it as better now? don’t lie to yourselves (like you did when you thought Bill Cowher would come here). established coaches are too smart to hitch their wagon to this mess.
The real and obvious problem is that no proven coach would ever want to come here because the book is out on this organization and how $&@?ed up it is

mike mccarthy, doug pederson, and brian flores are the only ones who have been out there in the last several years - and they wanted flores. schoen chose daboll.

Anybody worth hiring would make sure The Nephew was up in the C-Suite where he belongs and not involved in football personnel.
Is the Mara family willing to admit that they don't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to running a football team?
This offseason will be different. Belichick and Vrabel, plus the potential of John Harbaugh and maybe Flores again.
As to the money, I don't give a fuck what anyone says, this franchise doesn't spent itself out of trouble like the Eagles and Cowboys and other teams do. I don't mean signing FAs or cutting dead weight at times. Deeper. Think deeper.
For all this talk of Mara forcing Schoen/Daboll to sign Jones to the long term deal, that's unprovable and probably just flat out false. We have years of evidence to support the belief that Mara lets the GM operate with nearly full autonomy. HOWEVER, what so many seem to miss is Mara likely told Schoen and Daboll there's no way in hell you're cutting Jones this last offseason and finding a vet QB in FA that makes a lot of money. It's just a theory, but I don't think an unfounded one. Mara likely told these two you signed Jones, fucking fix him. If you don't fix him cut him next offseason when the cut isn't as financially painful.
We didn't cut Dave Brown until the very end. We didn't cut GAlloaday until it was obvious he couldn't even get on the field anymore. The Giants history is littered with examples of this team refusing to move on from shaky talent. Ask yourself why. Is it patience? Or is it something else.
The Giants are weird. 45 years of following their every move. Not saying cheap as much as weird and brutally stubborn.
It's a business. Remember that.
Whatever I am done. Mara gets enough shit around here without my help. The lock signing was weird. HE's so bad and such a non threat to anything yet they gave this slob 5 million. You couldn't use that 5 million on Barkley who is an impact player. Nah he's part of the losing culture here! Mara doesn't meddle then..Fucking clown.
They simply hire the wrong leaders. They'd be just fine if they hired good GMs and more important, good HCs.
Maybe one day Mara and the rest will hire a good HC. Not some asst who got fat on the backs of Josh Allen.

Bad coaching hires is an underrated failure of this whole era. Look at the careers of McAdoo, Judge, and Shurmer post-Giants.
Daboll will still be a sought-after OC but he doesn't appear to be a program builder.
Tische doesn't know or care about football and he doesn't have the ownership percentage to make Mara do anything. Tische is here for the money, and he's doing just fine in that regard, thank you
