One thing for sure  
Tittle 9 20 64 : 9/18/2024 11:55 am : link
You wouldn’t see tackling like we saw against Washington this past Sunday.
let's just be honest here  
djm : 9/18/2024 12:06 pm : link
every single HC hire save for a select few (harbaugh was one of them but nope) comes with risk. Unproven? It's a risk. Retread? Again, risk. Vrabel? Comes with a risk. IS he that good? He lost down the stretch and never won an AFC title game.

They all come with a risk. Unless there's a Tom Coughlin sitting there (and even he came with risk) a HC who had showed he could build something from the ground floor not once but twice --we should just go big or go home.

If this is going to fail again and again we might as well go with the greatest living HC in NFL history. Fuck it. Mara should be offering reach arounds this fucking second. Back channels. Do whatever the fuck is needed to at least leave the door open to Bill coming here.

here's a list of HCs who were fired (or lost)  
djm : 9/18/2024 12:11 pm : link
only to win again in their next stop:

Andy Reid
Tom Coughlin
Bill Belichick (we forget he was fired in Cleveland)
Bill Parcells lost at the end in NYJ then rebuilt Dallas
Mike Holmgren didn't do badly in Seattle
McCarthy is winning in Dallas more than his predecessor did


Just because you lose for a few years doesn't mean that carries over to the next team.
None of those guys were 73 years old

BB would need to be head coach  
Reale01 : 9/18/2024 12:21 pm : link
If he wants to get the all-time wins record. I think it is possible he would give up personell if the GM was someone he trusted.
Could BB's 1st move be to insist on a full-time return to these unis?

How often does a 73 year old HC even throw his hat in the ring? Also, i know it's sort of a cliche but being 73 today isn't the same as being 73 20-30 years ago.

If the guy wants to HC again, who the fuck are we to say he can't? You sure about that? You better be. He seems perfectly fine to me. Interview him. Vet him through and through. You want someone else? Who? Ill take BB and worry about depends and Lawrence Welk if and when.
so what's the age threshold ?  
djm : 9/18/2024 1:44 pm : link
ageism alive and well I see. When do we cut someone off? 70? 65? 71?

We fired our best HC of this era because of age and 2 straight bad seasons. The young HCs that replaced him were much worse.

If the guy still has it, he still has it. We are worried about him coaching for longer than 3 years? How about we get one good year and go from there.
ill stop

I'm not  
darren in pdx : 9/18/2024 1:50 pm : link
sure how I feel about Belichick or Vrabel but my guess is that Bill would prefer a better roster to win-now than the Giants. Philly and Dallas make a lot more sense for him. All I know that whatever the Giants do the odds are that it's not going to work out for them unless they luck into a franchise QB.

Probably true. I wonder if Philly or Dallas would exclude him from their HC search because he's too old. Something tells me the answer to that would be hell fucking no.

I know it doesn't tell the whole tail but watching Bill on the Manning MNF live cast he did not in any way shape or form look like someone who was too old.

Again, if you can bang and keep up with a 25 year old, you can still coach. Call that a simplistic view all you want. Don't worry he aint coming here anyway as Mara is too fucking cheap and paranoid to ditch the HC and hire some expensive "retread" while rocking the Joe Schoen apple cart.

Vince Lombardi, Chuck Noll and Tom Landry. Three coaches with zero championships between them without their HoF QB.

Were they all a product of their QB too?
If Belichick gives the Giants 3 competent seasons,  
Go Terps : 9/18/2024 2:02 pm : link
that will be the best stretch they got in 15 years.

I just want to watch a team that blocks, tackles, and doesn't do stupid shit like disrespect the kicking game. I'm confident Belichick will provide that.

Again - what do the Giants have to lose? If the Giants showed up in Cleveland Sunday with 53 free agents and a new coaching staff would it even matter? Who cares?

Greenfield this shit and get a grownup in here. All we're doing right now is throwing away years.

You could fly Parcells to Cleveland and have him show up a hour before game time and it'll go better than what will probably end up happening.

These guys were not top choices. I think BB without Brady has shown to be sub par. Don’t think Daboll and Schoen are going anywhere next year. Fans panic. I am not in love with Daboll. This is his first coaching job.

Hiring Bill B. at this point would  
Chris L. : 9/18/2024 2:32 pm : link
be just as big a mistake as drafting Jones. He would want to be both coach and GM and you want NOOOOO part of him as GM. His drafting of players up in New England over the last 10 years of his tenure up there was horrible. Plus when he fails it will be next to impossible to get rid of him because we will have yet another John Mara favorite. Hard no for me.

The pendulum swings left and right. Harbaugh is 2-0 with the Chargers and I expect them to have a really good year. He just gets how to install a gritty culture. 3 TE sets, crisp blocking, solid in the trenches. Control T.O.P. The league is no longer set up to defend that.

And that’s not to say you can’t win being a pass heavy team. The truth is, there’s more than one way to win. One of the biggest problems to my eye? The Giants don’t hire guys with an identifiable style of play. McAdoo, Shurmur, Judge, thus far even Daboll. The same questions keep coming up years into their tenures - whats the team building towards? What style of football do they want to play?

If a house cleaning is in order, hire a successful HC with a CLEAR style of football he has previously shown capable of installing. The Giants date down far too often. I think its because they’re wary of a big personality type that isn’t easily controllable. Thats just conjecture though.
I do think he has a chip on his shoulder  
moespree : 9/18/2024 2:49 pm : link
To show he can still coach and win without Brady.

That being said, hiring him to be the GM too would be a disaster waiting to happen.

And I thought that if he got back in he'd hire new people than his usual assistants, just to shake it up for himself. But him and Patricia going around everywhere in the media together doesn't really suggest that will happen.

So there are cautions with Belichick.

Good question. Given the roster, and his age and goals, maybe he would in order to win.

The Giants have not had a defensive head coach since Parcells if you can believe it:

Handley
Reeves
Fassel
Coughlin
McAdoo
Shurmur
Judge (ST)
Daboll

It's time to go defense. Vrabel makes the most sense and he's got Cowden in the building with him.

Look at the body of work after Brady left.



Sure, if you remove the bulk of his career, what else has he done?

Seems like there is some sort of pattern here...

Parcells coaching championships without Lawrence Taylor = 0
Vince Lombardi coaching championships without Bart Starr = 0
Tom Landry coaching championships without Roger Staubach = 0
Chuck Noll coaching championships without Terry Bradshaw = 0


Two comments unrelated to Belichick:

- this made me look up Staubach’s career. I had no idea how outstanding Staubach’s 1971 season was. He led the league in YPA, lowert number of interceptions, and he won each and every game he started. (The Cowboys lost a couple when he was injured.) That has to be one of the great QB seasons ever.

- Mike including Lombardi and Starr on the list is unfair. Starr was the starter throughout Lombardi Packers tenure. Lombardi coached one season in Washington before becoming ill. In that first season with the Skins, they coincidentally had the same winning % as the Packers did the first year Lombardi coached them. If Lombardi had lived, he might very well have won more with what was a talented Washington squad.

Mike from Ohio : 9/19/2024 8:56 am : link
Lombardi is probably the best comparison of them all. Most of BB's career he had Tom Brady as his QB. Suggesting Lombardi could have won more elsewhere is complete conjecture on your part. The fact of the matter is the majority of his coaching career he had one HoF QB and that was when he won championships. Your guess that he could have won more with Washington doesn't make the factual comparison any different.

It would not surprise me if he signs with Dallas. Jerry is nit getting any younger and wants to win now.

Mara trying to copy the Steelers combined with multiple season of bad HC hires, poor player analyst.
