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.

Just because you lose for a few years doesn't mean that carries over to the next team.
he won with the GOAT or for being a d coordinator here before most players in the league were born? What has Bill accomplished after Brady left that would make anyone think he’s the best option for 2025 and going forward?
RE: So you think it’s purely coincidental that there’s never been
How long do you think he’d coach? Two seasons? Three?
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.
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.
do you think BB would choose NYG over the Eagles, if both jobs were offered to him?
I'd wager he prioritizes winning to pad his W-L record, and chasing championships.
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.
RE: Is the point to give Belichick a golden parachute for SBs
he won with the GOAT or for being a d coordinator here before most players in the league were born? What has Bill accomplished after Brady left that would make anyone think he’s the best option for 2025 and going forward?
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,
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.
Belichick drafting a DL, signing Jacoby Brisset to play QB, improving the defense, going 7-10 twice, retiring, and leaving us back where we are right now
Daboll, Judge, and McAdoo are young innovative coaches that got chewed up by the Giants' organizational structure.
Time to try a different approach.
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.
Belichick drafting a DL, signing Jacoby Brisset to play QB, improving the defense, going 7-10 twice, retiring, and leaving us back where we are right now
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.
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.
Belichick drafting a DL, signing Jacoby Brisset to play QB, improving the defense, going 7-10 twice, retiring, and leaving us back where we are right now
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.

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.
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.

I am on record. I don't give a shit. The guy still breaths and appears to be quite virile. He's also banging a 25 year old.
My preference would be to hand everything to Vrabel, but I'll take Belichick in a heartbeat.
How long do you think he’d coach? Two seasons? Three?

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.

Young and innovative like Ben McAdoo, Joe Judge or Brian Daboll?
I've seen enough of John Mara trying to find a young, innovative coach.
The Bull$hit Mara conspiracy theories again... if he meddled Barkley would still be here.
That said, I think Vrabel would be the better hire in 2025.

So there are cautions with Belichick.
Good question. Given the roster, and his age and goals, maybe he would in order to win.
Yep, pretty much.

No it is the exact point. He was mundane the last 4 years. This isn't 2006 with Tom Brady.

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