This fanbase would riot. We would be going from a bad HC to a mediocre HC and win just enough games to miss the playoffs and draft mid round every year. Wonderful. You're right, the fanbase probably would riot. The Cowboys did steal Landry from us though and I would like payback. Ernie was in love was Garrett, I don't see why we should not interview him and do what's best for the club. Landry started out 0-11 and did not win more than 5 games in any of his 1st 5 seasons and was given a 10 year extension anyway. Those were different times though..when loyalty was still a virtue. If Garrett flew B-17s in war I would give him the HC job here, other wise keep looking.

I'm starting to feel we're built soft (myself included) these days.

I'm starting to feel we're built soft (myself included) these days. Landry was a pilot in the same squadron my Grandfather flew in (ball turret gunner). My grandfather was shot down March 3rd 1945. The crazy thing is that Landry flew that same plane a month before that event. I got all the mission records from the flights my Grandfather flew and Landry flew a bunch of the same missions. The CO of the squadron was also Landry, but not Tom Landry. Crazy stuff.
We are soft now. I was a door gunner in helicopters in the Marines in two wars and I don't know if I could do what those men back then did. They were built different.

What if the Giants move so slowly , the other good candidates get snatched up? Ummm...That has already happened. Rivera and McCarty were the best out there IMO and based on coaching experience and records. Remember when all of the good coaches got hired and the Eagles got “stuck” with Doug Pederson (the Giants beat them out for McAdoo)? Or when the Colts got embarrassed by McDaniels and got “stuck” with Frank Reich? Things aren’t always as they appear

Well, the scary thing is he is certainly "an adult in the room." He seems to lack in the inspiration and motivation department. Just say no, to Jaso.

He's discussed it with his coaching staff? Why is this news? Let me know when he's discussed this with the Giants. I'm not shooting the messenger. That just means his staff leaked it to the press. I cant believe he isn't publicly thanking JJ for finally letting him go. Stockholm Syndrome is strong in that coach.
