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.

nothing to see here...

The team could use a coaching churn so I would lament a loss or two in the ranks.

It's per the linked story by Ralph Vacchiano.

The team says they want an experienced head coach. Wilks isn't that.

They say they might be willing to take a longtime coordinator, but Wilks isn't that either.

So basically, unless they go back on the statements they've made, Wilks is not an option.

Says nothing good or bad about Wilks. Just means he's a different kind of coach than they want.

Doesnt guarantee we keep him, though. Just means it's highly unlikely his head coaching opportunity is gonna be with the Giants.

Thia is guaranteed by recent team statements (link)

Team ownership has stated that they want one of two things in a head coach:

1) Someone who's been a head coach before

2) Someone who's been a coordinator for an extended time

Wilks is neither of those things.

Mind you, this doesn't guarantee that somebody else won't go after him, but if Wilks is coaching another NFL team next year, it won't be the Giants.

[Mr. Scot]

Another possible option that I've seen mentioned...

Jim Harbaugh.

 

 

I don't see it, but he does fit the criteria the Giants gave, sooooo...

So, not confirmed, just highly unlikely.

Its possible...if they want to publicly contradict themselves.

If the Giants said they only wanted to hire a current offensive coordinator, would you still give Wilks a chance?

I am thinking it will be Jim Schwartz

How thrown off would we be if Shula became their HC and won multiple SBs...

I don't care.  Let him go.  Besides, if they won multiple superbowls it would be because the coach overrode shula's play calling.
