fuging trash OP

just because the Giants put out a wishlist of the traits of an ideal candidate it DOES NOT mean that wilks is not even a consideration. this is like a job listing that asks for fifty years of experience and expertise that no one in the world has. it's not an actual requirement. delete this please

Ralph Vacchiano is a long time Giants beat writer and a very reliable source.

From the article...

Now that the Giants have their new GM, they will very quickly turn their attention to finding their new head coach.

And only candidates with experience need apply.

That may not be an unbreakable rule, but that's the clear preference of both Giants co-owner John Mara and new GM Dave Gettleman. They'd prefer a coach with previous head coaching experience, or at last "significant" experience as a coordinator, Mara said.

 

Could they go outside the box? Sure, but there are plenty of good candidates who fit their criteria, so why should they?

I still think Wilks gets a job somewhere, and this year, just not with the Giants.

Its hard not to. Its in everythread

 

and the ignore feature just blocks out the text. Not the actually post. Ill see a bunch of san jay posts going down the page. 

 

Eh whatever. I think im just growing out of the huddle. Too much drama over stuff that doesnt even really matter

Not surprising. They didn’t want a first time GM, so why would they want a first time HC.

I could see them going after Todd Haley or Josh McDaniels. On the defensive side I could see Jim Schwartz.

So, how is this confirmed?

They gave two criteria. Wilks fits neither.

They could change their minds, but why should they? There are plenty of choices that fit what they want.

I could definitely see the giants moving on from Eli in a year or two so I would say that might narrow the list of candidates.

They have a very high pick, and have stated that keeping Eli doesn't mean they won't take a quarterback high.

I'd hire Lewis out of that group for the Giants...

I expect them to probably pick high for at least two years. Fixing there Oline IMO might be a better choice. I think all pro lineman are more rare than QB's right now.

if the oline needs fixing they are screwed...but they will have the best DT's in the league...next to us

[Mr. Scot]

Related Note: Mara reportedly talked to Belichick regarding coaches. Belichick recommended Schwartz.

There's some speculation that Belichick did that to keep them from sniffing around Josh McDaniels. And yeah, I think we all know he's capable of pulling that kind of BS.

You guys think gettleman would want anything to do with the people he was forced to work with here?
