beardown3231 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Didn't Dodds withdraw his name from a job or two last year? I'm not able to look at twitter right now but IIRC I read that last offseason. Maybe he's looking for a great team's GM to die or some s*** so he can take over a perfect situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 I really hope Byron Leftwich crushes his interview and is a finalist...if he proves he has the leadership skills there is no doubt Fields would be an exceptional fit in his offence...I also think BA will do just about anything to help this guy succeed and being able to lean on him for links to a staff would be massive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 Hoge & Jahns seem really high on Morocco Brown for the GM gig...wouldn't shock me if he aces his interview given his knowledge of working here before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 Anyone else getting a little concerned that we are heading in to Bruce Arians territory again? What I mean by that is sometimes the obvious answer is the right answer...it worries me that we aren't showing more interest in Schoen & Daboll...not saying they need to be the hire but at least bring them in for a 2nd interview based on the turn around in Buffalo and what they have done with Allen.

Madmike90 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan · 2h The most encouraging thing to take from this Giants GM search: From what I've heard, they are offering carte blanche to candidates to reshape the organization. The Giants way of operating is about to change drastically no matter who is hired. The Giants have always been the team that worried me the most and if this is true then it confirms it...they will get the best GM candidate over us because we won't give anyone that amount of power.

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Eh. Hoping they throw out the cover letters for everyone who sucks, and then get lucky picking the right guys. Starting to think this is a lot like QB where luck and situation matter as much as your analysis process. Case in point, a whole lot of you (me) were high on Nagy, the only question was whether FeFillipo would be a good second choice... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 If I had to guess how this plays out I would say we go with Morocco Brown at GM and Matt Eberflus at HC…the way the beat guys have been talking about both gives the impression they know something we don’t…right from the start Hoge & Jahns have been all over Morocco…Eberflus apparently excelled in his interview to the point we are happy to bring him back for a 2nd interview without a GM in place…things are just lining up for that to be the way it goes…especially considering we don’t seem to have much interest in Schoen & Daboll… If we don’t go that way a link that has been overlooked by many is Monti Ossenfort and Brian Flores…both of them worked in the Pats front office as scouts in 06-07 before Flores moved to the coaching side of things until 2019…during those years Ossenfort was still a scout/assistant director of college scouting then director of college scouting for the Pats until he left for Tennessee in 2020…Ossenfort reportedly really impressed in his interview.

Brown interview tomorrow is now massive. DaBearsblog is acting like they are in the room. How can a GM interview go terribly I wonder? They all have to be some measure of good I would think. I mean, I can't imagine he got stumped on a football job skill question. Did he walk in and say who is that? She is hot! And it was McCaskey's granddaughter or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 https://eu.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2018/12/27/why-matt-eberflus-right-man-turnaround-colts-defense/2420024002/ Lovie Smith is a big fan of Eberflus that’s for sure...would it be so bad to have a tougher Lovie on our hands? IMO it would be a major upgrade over the last three guys especially if he can nail the OC pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young guy who is really up and coming who you missed off this list is current Iowa State OC Tom Manning...their offence has been really balanced and put up plenty of points since he took over in 2019...he has been nominated twice in three years for the Broyles Award…Indy and Toledo links there…I think his offence would be excellent for Fields skill set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
