SteelKing728 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Hopefully Shurmur is coaching in February and the Giants are too impatient to wait. I think they'd be better off with a defensive/special teams minded coach. And truthfully I'd rather go with Priefer than Shurmur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I do hope that Shurmur sticks around for another year though, so he can prepare Stefanski to take over the OC job when he does go (as I think that's Stefanski's eventual role...even though I don't think he's quite ready for it yet).

I think that would be a job that Paton would be intrigued by, considering the Giants' history of organizational stability. Not to veer this thread off too much, but just minutes after writing this, the rumors have already started on Twitter with people asking about Paton. I really think he's been waiting for a job like this...if they are interested, this might finally be the gig that he leaves for...and potentially (not guaranteed certainly) could make it a landing spot for Shurmur, who certainly knows the NFC East very well.

SemperFeist Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I’m just wondering if that’s high profile enough for New York? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week was a bad week for us. Overall Priefer is doing a good job this year even after losing his stud in Cordarrelle Patterson. Add in that he has a long history of success and I think teams will find that appealing. Why is accepting a head coaching job elsewhere a step down?

vike daddy Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 hopefully all our guys are tied up in to early February, and many teams will need to make their moves before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 1 minute ago, vike daddy said: we are 32nd in net punting. Terrible stat to base how well a team is, or isn’t, punting. As it doesn’t take into account where the team is punting from. Considering that most of our drives stall out around midfield, the 40 yards we’re netting per punt is putting the defense in good position. And we’re about middle of the pack when it comes to percentage of punts inside the 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put that more on Forbath though. At one point we were best in the league at punt return yardage against us too. I think he's a legit option VD. Maybe not a big name, but I think he would do fine if given an opportunity somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 not to hijack the thread in to one about special teams and Priefer, but we have not improved in that area this year. which is Proefer's responsibility. but hey, we're 10-2 so something's going right. still, i don't see the head coaching mantle being sent to Preifer, and don't see how he has earned the consideration.

Heimdallr Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd actually love to see a Paton/Shurmur/Keenum combo somewhere. It would be just terrible for us, but it would be entertaining to see how that would play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With NYG essentially starting its search on December 4, waiting until February 5 to get their guy would be a long time to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also certainly would open up the position of Asst. GM for Jamaal Stephenson (if he wants it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Is the Giants’ vacant coaching seat the job that finally lures Jon Gruden out of the booth? ? Imagine the rivalry between Washington and New York then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
