I'm not sure if getting another manager from the Giants is a great move. Last one ended badly and there just isn't a lot to look at when it comes to the Giants in the last few years. 

All we need is another Bup Bup Bup Youse Guys at the helm again to sink us completely.

Did DG really end badly? He certainly wasn't perfect here and has been questionable in NY, but DG had pretty damn good success here, ultimately.

I am going to be curious if this process goes like the coaching search. We have a full plan laid out and then all of a sudden it is all over and we have a guy because Tepper finds "The Guy."

I hope so. If you find the guy you don’t stall

I have never disagreed with you more, but that's OK.:shades:

I think he had above average success on the contractual side and below average success on the drafting side! I think that he was downright bad to abysmal at what I'll call situational team building (which it's all situational), as he was much too dogmatic in his theories and approach to modern-day football. Just my $0.02. I am not going to get into an unnecessary debate on Gettleman. He's gone... thankfully!

Maybe it’s just because the only thing we have to compare him to is Hurney, but here are the results of each of his seasons (including 2017 because he was GM for the draft and free agency so that was his team despite getting fired during training camp):

 

2013: 12-4, divisional round loss

2014: 7-8-1, divisional round loss

2015: 15-1, Super Bowl loss

2016: 6-10, missed playoffs

2017: 11-5, wild card loss

 

I don’t know how anyone can argue that is anything other than a mostly successful tenure, in terms of pure outcome. I agree, he wound up missing in the draft considerably more than you’d hope for, but as Belichick (a notably horrible drafter) has shown, it doesn’t matter how you get there, as long as you can build a roster that can win. He should not have been fired when he was, and it’s certainly possible the team still would’ve fallen apart with Cam’s injuries whether DG stayed or not, but I wouldn’t assume that. We’ll never know, but that 5 season stretch is easily the best in our team’s history and DG should’ve been kept around at least another year or two to see what he could’ve kept building here. If we still fell apart then yeah I’d agree with you, but we never got the chance to see how it played out. His Giants tenure isn’t looking so good, but his 5 seasons here were pretty successful overall.

Yup.

People don't want to look at team success when they "evaluate" GM's, they would rather look at 1st round draft picks.

It's a really weird condition that the Panthers fans have.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      By Stumpy · Posted

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
