Not trying to be misleading with the title but I wonder if there is ever a chance he would be GM of the Giants? TBH, I hadn’t heard much from him over the last several years and assumed he was out of touch and frankly (just too old) to ever step back in the football world in any capacity. But after watching Eli and Peyton last night (Parcells was the guest in the 1st quarter) he actually sounded great and seemed like he still knew his shit.
Do any of you think there’s any chance in hell he would want to be a GM for the Giants? Would Mara hire him? Is he qualified?
Just throwing out an unlikely but possible option.

Parcells is a great football mind…but in reality his football mind is more old school. The Giants need to come of age.

i only worry he would be to "old school" but at the end of the day football is still won in the trenches. I would worry about having a prehistoric/unimaginative offense sort of like what we have now

Great idea. Now let's get Phil Simms at QB and we've got something.

Can't hurt to try that's for sure. Shit I wonder if Eli would be interested lol? I mean seriuosly I wonder if that's something he would consider? Probably too early though and he might not want to rush into having something like that take up most of his time being he just really left the game. Maybe when he is in his 50's or so I'd think.

No one is a bigger Parcells fan than me. All time coach, who was a master motivator. Now saying that, can we hire someone who wasn’t born before WWII?
Our next GM has to have no ties with the Giants, nor affiliated with anything John Mara. I’ll go as far as I want our next GM to never have spoken to Mara before. If they passed one another at the owner meetings, and said good morning. He’s eliminated from the search. No more Belichick recommendations, or Ernie Accorsi’s influence. The Giants way went out the window with the VCR.

Yeah, that was/is one of my biggest concerns but after hearing him last night I’m not as convinced that that’s the case. He seemed pretty on top of it. I dunno, like I said, unlikely but maybe possible? It’s about the one person I would endorse as being GM AND from the the Giants organization which we all know Mara likes. He could be a complete bust but I wouldn’t be opposed to it. Probably never going to happen anyways but I would love to see how it pans out if it did. |

I am also for bringing in Parcells. But like someone else said, he is 80 years old.

Well...after listening to him and Gettleman...who do you trust more? If it's Parcells...at least he'd be an upgrade. |

I get that 100%, as I said in my post above this is the one exception I would be ok with otherwise I’m with you and adamant they go outside the organization and someone who is younger and more in tune with modern day football. |

That is the problem with this Organization now, all this Old School GARBAGE and trying to recreate yesteryears
Hell No! I don't want no OLD GUYS running this organization anymore. Get some young Creative Minds in that Front Office who can actually relate with todays players. This "Disciplinarian" keeping guys in line Trash don't work anymore, you have to let the players be themselves and when you're relatable the Respect and the Discipline comes Natural from your players instead of trying to force it upon them. These Generation Z guys are Wired a Bit Different so the approach and how they're handled has to be different as well especially if you want to get the best out of them

He is physically unable to do the job. There is no way he is fit enough to work 12 to 16 hours a day.

Mara seems to like the comfort of having people he knows around him ( Gettleman ) so why not Parcells..I wouldn't be against it... |

As much as I respect Parcells, part of the Giants' problem is they keep reaching back to the past for people with a prior connection to the organization. First Gettleman and then Garrett, and that hasn't worked out well. It's time for the Giants to look to new people to help them build for the future instead of looking to past connections for help.

We're going to hire an 80 year old GM who was last involved in the NFL in 2006?

This was my idea when we all wanted Reese fired. Now he's 80. Too old to be a GM.
But I wouldn't be opposed to using him as a consultant for finding a new GM.

Do any of you think there’s any chance in hell he would want to be a GM for the Giants? Would Mara hire him? Is he qualified? Just throwing out an unlikely but possible option. Love Parcells and would have been nice had Wellington Mara stood up to Young who hired Fassel. Mara was too slow to stop it. Flash forward to today, i think anything Parcells related in short term. 2022’s cap is already a disaster and locked up so there won’t be much change. So Parcells will be 81 before he can start making changes. How long will he last? As a consultant, yeah, i think he should always have a say. As GM, that’s a lot to ask imo. These kids getting drafted are one-two years younger than when he last coached. Kids are like 20 years old entering this league. Parcells is 60+ years their senior. Most of them probably don’t know who he is. I think Parcells is too short term as GM and we’ll be looking for his replacement too quickly. Not sure what the answer is tomorrow yet i think our group had the right answer yesterday. Get rid of Gettleman. Now who wants to fix this? |
