Giants Receive Permission to Talk to Pioli
According to radio reports, the Giants have asked for and received permission to talk to Patriot exec Scott Pioli. This is another football personality who sees the Giants as his dream job. I have three concerns about bringing him in. 1) I like Jerry Reese and think he's a more natural choice since he's establish his credentials without the benefit of a brand name coach's influence
2) I'm concerned that Pioli has been more of a Belichick functionary than his own man in NE
3) Franchise/Player relations in NE have been really strained under Pioli's watch, and I'm not sure if that has to do with Pioli intransigence or the owner's reputed cheapness.
Overall, I will like the move if it can be determined that Pioli is his own man and if he can land us the kind of coach who can WIN Superbowls for us.
UPDATE: PIOLI HAS APPARENTLY TURNED DOWN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE GIANTS!

What Radio Station Reported it ESPN Radio or WFAN or something different
WEEI back East and XTRA out here.
Lets Say they interview him this week, and they want him would he be named gm this week or do they have to wait until Patriots are out of playoffs
dan, they'd interview him today or tomorrow. We could probably announce him right away.
Thanks Phil, thanks for all the info your a great guy
Thank you, dan, I think the same of you.
Oh NO Why he would do that, jeeze if my dream job called i would definately have to listen to what they would say/offer...kind of shcoking maybe glauber heard wrong or misinformation
Parcells is his father in law and is no doubt feeling vulnerable right now. I can only imagine the sniffy phone call.
I thought parcells was nice...guess not.....hey whats ur take on Scoops claim on PC becoming coach he was kind of right about johnson trade, but i dunno about pc doesnt sound or feel right
Well, one of the Giant owners does live out here in LA.
YEa but when you have two owners, both have to agree, i would have no problem with PC not my top choice but i think he might actually be good out here, but we just need a real DC coach
Im guessing with Pioli out of the picture we are gonna announce Reese as new GM which is good move, i hope it doesnt effect our coaching decision
o thats great, Whats next were gonna keep the head coach
If Couglin stays, I'll try ot take a pass on the 2007 season. I can't even listen to him talk without wanting to punch something.
If he stays, my pile of Giants stuff isn't going to the laundry, it's going down the shoot.
r u confident he's gone
yeah, but who knows now that Pioli pulled this crap today...
Could Pioli have been put off by rumors that Mara/Tisch aren't on the same page with regard to the future direction of the franchise?
No, there's something weird going on here with Pioli and the Pats... Why did the Pats issue his statement? What the hell kind of weird red soxy move was that?
maybe pioli waits till pats out of playoffs to interview for job
We have to fill the job sooner than that, we need coaches.

sirius satellite radio and nfl network are saying that parcells is talking to the giants about the GM job. pioli (parcell's son in law) turned down an interview for personal reasons opening the door for his father in law.
we're not gonna hire Parcells for GM. He sucks at personel, though he's good at coaching. Ironicall, Coughlin sucks at coaching and is good at personel.
I think coughlin is gone, but i just have that feeling that us fans are gonna get screwed and hes gonna stay...o i hate this crap
My pile of Giants stuff depends on them firing Coughlin.
What will it take for the mara's to realize there gonna have a crap load of fans unhappy with this orginization if they keep him
I think they might be offering him an easy way out.
Yea phil my night got a lot nicer with what SCOOP is saying
Would you reprint it here?
Rich check your email...dont know if phil wants me to post it on here
No Thanks Bill!!!

Lets try this
Phew!
Ill just post it
The Giants have rebuffed an overture from Cowboys coach Bill Parcells about returning to the organization as general manager, according to a high-ranking NFL executive familiar with the team's thinking.
Parcells had informed the Giants through an intermediary that he would be interested in returning to the organization to replace the retiring Ernie Accorsi, according to two NFL executives and a player. The sources requested anonymity because of the private nature of the search
Gilbride and Coughlin coming back from giants insider....great
it's nonsense.
Pretty intense, i think its certain we will find out the truth
find out the truth tomorrow
Could Pioli have rebuffed the Giants because he knew his father-in-law wanted the job?
it's possible.
