vacancies, and coaching vacancies filled. We had 11
total vacancies entering today. And now we have one of them
filled. It is Joe,
Shane. This is gonna be one of those names where people aren't
going to know how to pronounce it. Is it Shine? Is it shown?
Is it Shoon it? Shane. He's the new general manager of the New
York Giants and we never would have expected this. We thought
it was going to be an inside job without was
gonna be somebody from the front office, like a Kevin
Abrams or somebody. You know, who was acquainted with Joe,
judge back? When we thought Joe judge was safe. They go outside
the box, outside the organization.
They pluck, someone from the bills, front office, former
bills. Assistant GM, Joe, Shane. Now the GM
of the New York football Giants.
Mike, you know what this makes me think of
honestly. It's that kind of 11 minute rant that Joe judge went
on and maybe what did that rant do to kind of change the shape
and the direction of the franchise, right? Because
before that, we'd heard that Joe judge was safe that
Those were going to be okay with Joe, Judd and that's
really why there was that impression that they would just
raise up somebody from the front office. But really after
that,
everything really seem to change, you know, the franchise
kind of bottomed out there. We heard Mara talking about. Well,
you know, I just don't feel like I can say that
the franchise is headed in the right direction and maybe
that made the family and Steve tissue as well. Take a step
back and say we've got to really rethink how we're doing
things, and I think going,
Going to an organization, like the bills and getting a guy
like Joe Shane. Who's been not just around the bills but also
for round of the Miami Dolphins, right? He came up
starting with the Panthers as well. He's been
in different situations and now he can start setting
a different direction for the New York Giants and I think,
especially over the last few years and the different regimes
that we've seen from them.
They need that. So now they have it and I think that's
a good thing.
Look how depressing that graphic is. If you live in and
around New York City, the Giants and jets tied for
the worst records. Over the last five seasons at 22 and 59. The
Giants haven't won a playoff game. Since Super Bowl 46,
haven't been to the
playoffs since the notorious boat cruise on the day off for
Odell Beckham jr. And others when they played at Lambeau
Field, five years ago, and now Joe Shane will begin
the process of finding the successor to Joe judge who was
there for two years?
Years after pat Shermer, who was there for two years
after Ben McAdoo, who was there
for two years? We'll talk about McAdoo in a moment. Shane says,
his immediate focus is to hire head coach and will cast a wide
net Brian table, the bills offense of coordinator already
linked to the job. Obviously Shane knows him
Leslie Frazier. The bills defensive coordinator should be
linked to it as well. And there's been some discussion
that maybe Brian Flores now emerges as a possibility
for the Giants. But you know, they've been taking it slowly.
Everyone's been taking it slowly. IE. The first don't
Domino? That falls is the GM job with the Giants and I don't
think that that means they're going to have a coach by
Monday. I think it's
going to be
later rather than sooner you do more than a week from now that
they have their head coach because Shane is going to want
to take the time and do it. Right? The mehra's are
committed to doing it right? And taking their time and not
rushing into anything miles.
Well, maybe they heard that epic rant that you had. They
were, you didn't let me talk for like 5 minutes last week.
I mean, maybe that's what they Good to hear because again,
like I said, they are changing the way that they do things
here. When you bring in somebody who
doesn't have ties to the organization and whether it's
table, whether it's Frasier, I, you know, you just at least
think now that they're going to go through a really good
process of trying to find a new head coach and identifying
somebody that's going to be the
proper leader of men for that locker room, and for that
organization, because it's not necessarily just about
the scheme in the Xs, and the O's, because just because somebody's
a good coordinator does not necessarily In that they're
going to be a good head coach. Now, I think we can
definitively say that day ball and Frazier have been good
coordinators. And if the Giants want to go in the direction of
somebody who has experience. Yeah, they can go with Leslie
Frazier because he's
been a head coach before and I think that can play into his
favor, but it's going to be about finding the right person
who can lead the giants into some sort of prominence. And
that's not just going to come overnight either.
And, by the way, by the way, don't think I'm gonna. Let
the insult pass because you It in at the front end of your
answer.
If we're going to start pulling out stopwatches and get over
unders on how long a responses, I recall a time. Not that long
ago
where I got up. I left,
I made a sandwich. I ate it.
I had some chips.
I came back. I forgot my phone. I went back to the kitchen and
got it. I came back and you were still going. So about
the dogs quarter going to start. Yeah. Okay, if we're going to
start doing that, if we're going to start doing that
door swings, both ways.
