Giants This Week
While I hope they are casting a big net, I also hope they are able to make a quick decision. Assistants are going to get snapped up fast and we don't want the Giants getting a second or third choice or worse. That's essentially what happened when Coughlin came aboard. Ernie held up his hiring of assistants so he could interview Nick Saban, and TC ended up losing his first and in some cases second choices of asssistants. So the Giants must move with deliberate haste.
Once they've hired a guy, they also have to go back into review mode as the new DC talks about what he'll need assistant-wise and roster-wise to execute his defense. And he'll also have to chime in on the decisions that must be made about all of the defenive side FA's, most notably JPP.
So, it would be a good thing to kick this process into high gear, and find the right guy.

I hope Spags gets the job.
Coughlin had a lot of years to fix that, and didn't, until he was forced to do it.
I want the next great coordinator, and again, I think McAdoo is the next head coach, so someone he can work with.
Fixed it well enough to win two SB's in an era where there was max parity and no dynasties.
Yes, and I too would like to see a great coordinator who can grow with McAdoo.
In large part because of the players brought in during Accorsi's tenure. The guy may be a blowhard, but I think we have seen since his departure that he was pretty good at organizational management and that has been missed.
You said it yourself about Eli's efficiency going up with a McAdoo type of system. Gildbride is competent, unlike Lewis or Fewell or Hufnagel, of Quinn, but his system is not easy to pick up or to make adjustments within it. So I agree that Eli would have been appreciably better under another system (and may still be now) because it could get more out of the players around him.
Do you guys have a favorite ?
Ernie was a joke.
He only cared about the first round in every draft and not a like about the later stuff. And that was really bad when Fassel was coach and not into the draft.
Also, Ernie was originally brought in to manage the cap for GY. And he screwed that up so badly, they had to bring in Kevin Abrams as capologist.
Can't remember the name of the guy who was running the draft between Boisture and Jerry, but he quit after the 2002 draft becaue Ernie made it too hard to get anything done.
The league had to step in and "make" the Eli trade.
Ernie was a GM for a long time and for a lot of teams, but no team EVER let him pick a coach.
in 2007 Ernie was gone, Jerry had to do double duty and you now the rest of it.
I would argue that over the past several years Jerry has had to figure out much more than he would have had Ernie been better at his job.
YF,
I don't have a favorite. And honestly think we can win with a top 15 D, though I'd rather have a top 5.

Yet they had more talent come in while Ernie was here and the decline began after he left.

So the decline started after we won Super Bowl 42? And Jerry both destroyed Osi's knee and shot Plax?
You can trace the decline to the state of the OL, more specifically, the failure to adequately prepare for the impending decline of O'Hara and Seubert, including the failed, expensive Baas signing.
I would argue that the under reported story of the NYG in the Eli era is his greatness, that has been held back by, at varying points, by Gilbride and the negligence of Reese in overseeing the decline of the OL.
But if you get Eli in the playoffs, you have a very good chance of advancing, unlike say, Peyton.
Think about it another way.
Reese has been the GM since 2007 and has had many really bad drafts.
Sure, Wilson got hurt, but how did he not take an OL top 3 in that draft.
You have said that they couldn't find Giant-type OL, but that's an affordable luxury given Eli's situation.
It reminds me of the difference between Pat Riley and Mike D'Antoni. Riley came here having run the up temp offense in LA, saw he didn't have the personnel and adapted to what he had. The other coach plays 7 seconds or less even though he didn't have the right PG, except for a cup of coffee with Lin, and even though his star player wasn't a fit for the system.
Even if you somehow want to blame that on Accorsi, almost no new GM, who would be hired without the inside knowledge of the organization that Reese had, would get anywhere close to 7 years to fix it.
Wilson got hurt, T2 got hurt, Sintim got hurt, Koets got hurt, every safety got hurt...
It's been a bunch of bad luck and two SB titles. The last two drafts have been very good, and they are picking higher than they have in 11 years this year, let's see what they do.
In the Accorsi era, most worthy players made it to their second contract, though they let Cornelius Griffin go to the Skins. In the Reese era a ton of the guys you'd expect to get second deals couldn't because their careers were already ended or derailed by injury.
Well I just read the Giant's passed om Morris. 1 down
