I could seem them promoting Stefanski to keep continuity offensively but I would still expect one of either McAdoo, McCoy or BeVell to take over QB coach. QB Coach/Assistant HC.

RpMc Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just another name to throw into the discussion, and not necessarily a preference. What about Jim Caldwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozizaki Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm a little adverse to promoting from within just because of how garbage the game plan against Philly was. My top priorities would be Darell Bevell or Ben McAdoo. If not, then Stefanski isn't a bad option, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakout Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 McAdoo would worry me. You have to look at this from the players perspective. How many guys would really be happy to see him hired? The way Eli was treated isn't something players ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would you guys like to fill those roles? If Edwards leaves I would like to see Patterson get a shot at DC. I have no clue who I'd want as OC. 1 Patterson was a good kick returner, but he never struck me as the sharpest tool in the shed. Not only that, but he was an offensive player, so he probably isn't all that great of a defensive mind. He is also out in Oakland now, so the opportunity to hire him as a DC has probably passed for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it still was messed up. Bench him to get a better look at Geno Smith. I know fans like to play the "its just business" card but players are not fans.

He’s not the only one reporting it, as well. And while there’s no one left on the coaching staff (other than Stefanski) who was here when Bevell was, it would be interesting to see a coach come back to a team that he was fired from.

His offensive style would definitely fit Bridgewater’s strengths, and the overall talent of the team. Pretty much any offensive scheme that is centered around quick, timing routes, and based out of shotgun formations would fit Bridgewater’s strengths.

He didn't handle the communication of it well, but it was a learning experience. And FWIW, the Vikings' players weren't in the Giants' locker room, so why would they care? As far as they would be concerned, he'd have a clean slate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'm not opposed to Bevell since I think he got the short end of the stick here but I think it'd be hard to sell to fans. I don't like McAdoo. I don't know much about his offense style but given how his offenses have produced, I don't think the players on the roster are the right fit for his offense.
