Good morning, New York Giants fans!
The Giants are as dysfunctional right now as any team in the league, and that includes the Jets. The only difference between them and the Jets is that the Giants have a quarterback, at least if they can keep the quarterback in one piece. In fact, the Giants are as dysfunctional as they were coming out of the 1970s before Commissioner Pete Rozelle basically hired George Young to be their general manager.
The Giants fire another coach now, the fourth fulltime coach they have fired since Tom Coughlin (Steve Spagnuolo was let go after being an interim)…..The only question now is why the general manager, Joe Schoen, isn’t. As the Giants continue to play whack-a-mole with one coach after another – Ben McAdoo and Pat Shurmur and the immortal Joe Judge and now Daboll – they are now game-planning themselves right into another disaster if they even consider letting a lame-duck, thin-ice general manager like Schoen pick the next coach.
The reality is, the Giants didn’t have the appetite to go through a full front-office overhaul in 2019, and six years later, they don’t want to do it now. Schoen stays because it is easier for the Giants to keep the GM than it is to admit that they’re wrong — again — and hit the reset button.
The problem is not only that Schoen’s track record in four years as GM is less than stellar — and that’s putting it mildly. Keeping him could be a deal breaker for the best coaching candidates, too, because what rising star wants to stake his career on a boss who could have one foot out the door?
Brian Daboll had to go, that much had become painfully obvious.
I must...
