I think Harbaugh is losing a little shine off his star the last few years. He has made a ton of questionable decisions the last 2-3 years from personnel to play calling. Hopefully for the Giants it was just time for a change and he will get back to what made him successful. I’m not a Giants fan but anything to shut up the Cowgirls talk. The team has been irrelevant for 30 years but we have to listen to espn and nfl network talk about them 24/7 like ‘THIS is the year’. Give me a good commanders and giants squad and put Philly and Dallas on the back burner. Yes please
Yes, but that’sa low bar
A low bar that they’ve been tripping over for almost 15 years now.
And that’s why I think they could and should do better. There are so many talented coordinators that would do wonders for that organization. I just think his best years are behind him and he won’t have Lamar Jackson in NY to cover for his mistakes. They need a culture change and to bring in a top young mind and build something long term. Not a 60 something retread. That’s just my opinion though.
They went with the young coordinators 3 times in their last 4 hires. McAdoo, Judge and Daboll all showed they weren’t ready for prime time.
Tells you that the problem is in the front office and their ability to spot real coaching talent. Some coaches are not meant to be the big dog. I didn’t say it was easy, but they have swung and missed way too many times and I think Harbaugh is just another swing and a miss. I mean, everyone’s gonna hail the higher because of John Harbaugh’s prior successes and I’m sure he’ll do better than his predecessors, but like I said that’s a low bar and i don’t think it sets them up long-term. Harbaugh did all that with a shit load of talent in Baltimore and New York just simply doesn’t have. But again, what do I know? I’m just some dip shit on a computer. Lol
I mean, you’re not wrong about the disfunction of the front office. And it’s not the first time it’s happens with the Giants. Even before the Tisch family bought into the team, there were competing sides of the Mara family. Things got so bad in the late 70s, which was another period of deep suckitude, that Pete Rozelle stepped in. He couldn’t see one of the “flagship” franchises go down the tubes in the biggest media market. The cousins put their differences aside, hired George Young to be the GM, drafted Lawrence Taylor and became one of the dominant teams of the late 80s/early 90s. Are they going to make a Suoer Bowl run next year? No. But playing meaningful games in December is a good start. And .500 isn’t out of the question, that would mean more wins than the last 2 season combined.
John Mara has cancer. His brother Chris has stepped up. The Mara family doesn’t really have any outside business, the Giants are it. So at some point will they cash out? Maybe. And while the Maras are most visible, the Tisch family owns half of the team. The Tisch family has other businesses, most notably Loews Corporation.
Steve Tisch is the chairman and executive vice president. It was his plane that ferried Harbaugh to and from Baltimore for the meetings. His brother Jonathan is the treasurer. So they’re really not involved in football decisions, that falls mostly to the Maras. But John Mara and both Tisches are in their 70s. The Giants sold a 10% stake to the Koch family in October with the Maras and Tisches reducing their holdings by 5% each and retaining operational control.
