edjr 5,596 Posted January 10, 2018 We all know how great Belichick's underlines have done as head coaches. per - Pat Leonard NY daily news http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/signs-point-patriots-dc-matt-patricia-giants-coach-article-1.3748402 A rocket scientist has blasted his way into the lead to be the Giants' next head coach. All signs are pointing to Matt Patricia, the New England Patriots defensive coordinator with a degree in aeronautical engineering, as the man the Giants will hire to point Big Blue back in the right direction. The Giants' glory days saw Bills Parcells, a coach with defense as his backbone, patrolling the sidelines at the Meadowlands, with Bill Belichick as defensive coordinator, winning the franchise's first two Super Bowls in 1986 and 1990, setting the standard in North Jersey. But since Parcells, the Giants have hired five head coaches all with offense as their calling card: Ray Handley, Dan Reeves, Jim Fassel, Tom Coughlin and Ben McAdoo. Coughlin won the Super Bowl twice in 2007 and 2011, but even in '07 succeeded and ruined New England's perfect season thanks largely to Steve Spagnuolo's rabid pass rush led by Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck. Great defense defines the Giants at their peak. And while improving the offense and developing a young quarterback to succeed Eli Manning are priorities in this coaching search, Patricia feels like too good of a fit and could bring an offensive coordinator to address those needs, perhaps Alabama's Brian Daboll, 42, who overlapped with Patricia for seven seasons in New England. Patricia, 43, as the Daily News has written a few times the last couple days, is not a done deal to the Detroit Lions as several reports had claimed coming out of his interviews last weekend with the Giants, Lions and Cardinals (oh my). In fact, there are indications he prefers the Giants to the Lions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,570 Posted January 10, 2018 Amazing. Word around Detroit is that your brother was going to bring him to the Lions. The GM is a buddy from the Belicheck tree, the team has a solid QB and the least bad roster of any of the available teams, and the sh*ttastic owner doesn't interfere in football operations other than harboring a desire to give blow jobs to standing in unison with all the kneelers on the team.

dain11279 930 Posted January 10, 2018 Only difference with him is that in 3 years when the Giants fire his ass and he would typically beg to go back to New England, Brady and Belichick won't be there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TD Ryan2 315 Posted January 10, 2018 here again is an example of BB not being a black-hearted, emotionless, automaton of football genius and greatness. BB is very tuned into the history, legacies, and reputations of those entrenched in the NFL.. from owners, franchises, coaches, etc. and he has a network of people teams, owners, etc that he respects and trusts - the Maras/Giants among them... the 49ers/Shanahans too... and Belichick really does try to put his disciples (players and coaches) in situations where they can succeed. So whether it's Patricia, Garropollo, or Jamie Collins... where Bill sends you is often a pretty good indicator of how he felt about you - p!ss him off and you end up in a place with people that BB doesn't know, like, or respect.

listen2me 23 1,551 Posted January 10, 2018 Think I read somewhere they're only looking for mediocre OC's. Yeah I mean a name in mind that they think is a stud. Seems like the wrong strategy as of late to have a defensive head coach in place and draft a 21 year old QB. Fisher and Goff. Fox out 1 year after Trubisky drafted. At least Patricia is young and not an old school Jeff Fisher sort of guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
