It certainly could hurt some, but the Falcons waited for Quinn, and it worked for them pretty well. If he's the right coach, the team should be willing to wait, as it's about setting it up for the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how close Ron Rivera and Pat Shurmur are after coaching together for a few years in Philly, maybe Rivera is trying to help him. I mean I doubt it, but really the only connection I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 The New York Giants interviewed Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur on Saturday for their vacant head coaching job. Shurmur met with co-owner John Mara, general manager Dave Gettleman, and assistant general manager Kevin Abrams in Bloomington, Minnesota. The 52-year-old Shurmur, who had a two-year stint as the Cleveland Browns’ head coach, was the fourth person the Giants have spoken in their search to find a replacement for Ben McAdoo, who was fired on Dec. 4 after less than two years on the job. Giants interim Steve Spagnuolo was interviewed Wednesday and New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels were interviewed Friday in Foxborough, Mass. https://www.twincities.com/2018/01/06/new-york-giants-interview-vikings-pat-shurmur-for-head-coaching-job/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
