The Giants will consider former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett for their head coaching vacancy, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post. However, their longtime rival is viewed as a Plan B – he’ll only be in the picture if things go sour with Baylor’s Matt Rhule, their apparent top choice.
Garrett spent nearly ten years as the Cowboys’ head coach and, hands down, has Rhule beat in the NFL experience department. Rhule has just one year of pro experience – his 2012 season as an assistant offensive line coach with Baylor.
Still, teams have been swooning over Rhule in recent years. Last year, Rhule shot down the other tenant of the Meadowlands, but the Giants job could hold greater appeal for him, especially if they’re willing to let him hire his own staff.
It’s not a given that Rhule will get the Giants job, even though he’s the leader of the pack. Barriers include Rhule’s pricey buyout from Baylor, which is believed to be more than $15MM. On the flip side – it’s possible that he could be had on a lower salary than someone like Garrett.
Between 2010 and 2019, Garrett coached the Cowboys to an 85-67 record and three NFC East titles. But, during that span, the Cowboys did not advance beyond the divisional round.
Yes! Giants should make this move. It would be Great!
Yes, Please. Keep him for 10 years too.
I am not sure why any team would ever want to sign this guy. What has he ever done to impress?
Why does it feel like the Giants are screwing up their head coach search?
I think gettleman is secretly being paid by another nfc East team cause all his moves are super questionable
Because they are
Ok with not hiring Rhule. Definitely do not want McDaniels. Is Belichick coming?
Would Eric Bieniemy be such a bad hire?
I prefer Bieniemy to Garrett. I prefer a mannequin to Garrett. I may be done with the NFL if the Giants hire this clapping buffoon.
Ummmm “New York we may have a problem”
