Giants Closing in on Patricia?

So, this morning I woke to a bunch of tweets and articles saying that Pat DC Matt Patricia will probably be the Giants next coach.  None of the articles offered any proof, so the timing of them could suggest that the information was introduced to goad Detroit into giving Patricia more, or it might have been introduced to get Wilks to hurry back. I have no idea and we'll have to see if there's any truth to the Patricia rumors.

That said, Patricia has always been the most intriguing candidate and checked the most boxes.  Sure he hasn't had a head coaching gig to get fired from, but he is a bright guy, from New York state, who developed his own useful analytics.  Takeo Spikes calls him Belichick's protege, and I buy that.  You might remember that Bill's winning formula for Super Bowl 25 involved allowing Thurman Thomas to run for 100 yards.  That was outside fo the box and Patricia is the same sort of thinker.  It would be fun to have that kind of advantage again.

It will also be interesting to see if Patricia can put together a coaching staff.  He's only been with the Pats on the NFL level, so he doesn't have the relationships a more traveled coach, like Wilks would have.

Of course it could just be public negotiating, but could also be the truth.
