MAJOR Giants Rumors on Mike Tomlin & Marcus Freeman

There’s been a lot of talk about Mike Tomlin and the New York Football Giants, and Adam Shfter has the latest on the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach. And there’s also some rumors heating up around Marcus Freeman and Big Blue. We’re going to dive into all that on today’s show. But I want to hear from you in the comments section right now. Do you want Mike Tomlin as the next head coach of the New York Football Giants? Type Y for yes and for no. [Music] Are the Pittsburgh Steelers going to fire? Mike Tomlin. Adam Shfter has some inside information on that. You’re watching Giants Now by Chat Sports and I am your host Marshall Green. Adam Shfter put out this article saying the Pittsburgh Steelers are not going to fire coach Mike Tomlin, but they have a significant decision to make early next year. After this season, Tomlin’s contract will have two years remaining, 2026 and a team option in 2027. But according to league sources, the Steelers must decide whether to pick up the option on Tom Wood’s contract by March 1st of 2026. There will be organizational meetings and decisions that occur, but not until after this season with a full body of work for all appropriate parties to review. sources said this contract for Tomlin where he has two years left but the 2027 year is a team option is very similar to a rookie’s contract in the NFL when it comes to their fifth year option in the NFL when you draft a rookie you have to make a decision on their fifth year after their third year and with Tomlin you have to make a decision on the 2027 year following the 2025 season so look I understand that Adam Sheper is saying the Steelers are not going to fire Mike Tomlin. And honestly, I never thought that that was a reality that we could be living in. It always came down to this. It would need to be a mutual separation. A separation where we get to maybe Black Monday for instance after week 18 and let’s say the Steelers miss the playoffs. That is what could fuel this. Mike Tomlin and the Steelers meet. The Steelers say, “I’m not going to pick up your 2027year option.” And Tomlin says, “Well, I don’t want to be the coach of the Steelers in 2026 as a lame duck head coach.” Then the two could agree to a mutual separation and then a trade or the trade gates could be open and that is where the New York Giants could step in. That’s always been the case. So, how the Steelers fare down the stretch will be important. And if you are someone like me who wants Mike Tomlin as the next head coach for the New York Giants, you should be rooting for the Steelers to lose every single game on the rest of their schedule, hopefully missing the playoffs. And even if they do make the playoffs, they lose in round one. Even if that were to happen, I still doubt and don’t believe that the Steelers would fire Tomlin. They don’t really fire head coaches. I again reiterate the point that it would be a press release of the Steelers and Mike Tomlin are separating after 18, 19, however many seasons it’s been. Or you will see that the Steelers are not picking up the option on Tomlin for 2027 and they are working towards a trade for another team. And as we know, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants front offices and ownership are closely related. Kate Mara, actress known for uh her work in the House of Cards and Fantastic 4, is the great granddaughter of Tim Mea, the founder of the New York Giants. Kate Mara’s mother is Kathleen Mea. Kathleen Rooney Mara is the daughter of Dan Rooney, longtime Steelers owner and former US ambassador to Ireland. and the granddaughter of Art Rooney Senior, the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers. So, in short, Kate Mara’s father’s side equals the New York Giants, the Mara family, and Kate Mara’s mother’s side equals the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Rooney family. So, there’s actually some blood relationships between the Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is what it boils down to. The Giants, if they want to hire Mike Tomlin as their next head coach, they need a couple of things to happen. First being the Pittsburgh Steelers not picking up the team option. Second, Mike Tomlin wanting out of the Pittsburgh Steelers and then Mike Tomlin wanting to get traded to the New York Giants. You’re going to need all three of those things. And if all three of those things do happen, I am going to be thrilled about it because if available, Mike Tomlin is my number one choice to be the head coach. It always felt like it was a very slim possibility that this was going to happen, but with his 22nd win over John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens and it seeming like the Steelers still have a shot to punch their tickets to the playoffs, that percentage keeps on going down and down and down. Whereas maybe we turn our focus to another AFC North head coach, and that is John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens. like Tomlin and the Steelers. There is a world where I don’t really see the Ravens maybe firing Mr. Harbaugh. I think it’d be a similar situation where Harbaugh and the Ravens have agreed to part ways. It has not been a good season for the Baltimore Ravens as they sit at 6 and seven and on the outside looking in of the AFC playoff picture. Now, if the Ravens keep on losing games, and if the Ravens miss out on the playoffs, I think that he could potentially be fired or no longer employed by the Ravens. Use whatever verbiage you want to make you happy. And if he is available, yeah, he’s he’s near the top, right behind Mike Tomlin of my dream head coaches for the New York Giants. Bring a culture, respectability, winning habits. That’s all I’m looking for in my next guy. Speaking of next guys, we’re going to be talking about that coming up in a minute. There is a college football head coach that over the last 24 hours has been in the media news headlines and now rumors around him joining the New York Giants are heating up.

Could Marcus Freeman be the next said coach of the New York Giants. Betting odds, trends, and rumors say that it is at least a possibility. Shout out to Cali, friends of the show. They are I don’t want to say a betting site but something along those lines and they put out odds in which you can invest in and they’re asking who will be the next permanent head coach of the New York Giants football team and right now number one Chrisa number two Marcus Freeman and as you can see the blue lines it is once the highest and it remains within the picture of McCarthy Kubak and Shua. There’s been a lot of rumors over the last 24 hours. Shout out to Unbiased Evodka Don, friend of the show and um works for Bar Stool and is um a big part of their team. He tweeted out this morning saying, “Seeing a lot of smoke around Marcus Freeman and the New York Football Giants.” Let’s turn the clock back to mid- November when Paul Schwarz, a beat reporter for this football team, who I believe has one of the closest fingers to the pulse of the front office, said there is some high regard in the Giants building for Marcus Freeman. And I don’t believe he says that without legit substance behind it. And as we know, Tim McDonald is very high up in the decision-making process for the New York Giants. And Tim McDonald would be one of the next men up if Mr. John Mara was going to hand off the decision-making power. Look, we are all rooting for Mr. John Mara to beat cancer’s ass. Um, but uh there’s also going to be multiple people involved in this. And Tim McDonald was at Notre Dame for eight seasons. I would not close the book on Marcus Freeman being a legit candidate. And I know there’s people joking out there. Well, didn’t you see Notre Dame declined to go to a bowl game and it’s so Marcus Freeman is scheduled as clear so he can interview for the New York Giants. That that’s a joke and I understand that. But in every joke, there’s always a small shred of truth. And I do believe the New York Giants will request to interview Mr. Marcus Freeman. Question is, will coach Freeman decide to accept an interview? As we inch closer and closer and closer to the playoffs in week 18, the coaching search is going to heat up and heat up and we will be getting some more inside information as well as rumors and news along the way. And I bet as soon as next week, we could start to hear some legit stuff about this coaching search. So, make sure you are subscribed and have those notifications turned on.

  2. Marcus Freeman has the killer instincts! He doesn't let up when the enemy is down! PLUS he really puts the petal to the metal in the second half,
    something the Giants really need! Leave Marcus Freeman THE FVCK ALONE! AS MUCH AS I LOVE THE GIANTS, I LOVE THE IRISH MORE!
    THE IRISH WERE RIPPED OFF!

  3. Tomlin is not as good as everyone thinks.

    First off, what is his coaching tree?

    What assistant coaches has he raised up into being NFL head coaches?

    What have they done in the last decade?

  4. Yes for sure never has had a losing season that is already far better than we have had since Tom coughlin so yes id rather have a playoff shot every single season opposed to the top 5 pick every year

  5. marshall you should do a comparison of the two mikes, tomlin n mccarthy im all in on mccarthy he fits wvery single criteria. Why are ppl overthinking this? I dont get it experience wins ceo head coach super bowl winner everything we want just sitting on the sidelines doing the pat mcvafee show once a week.

  6. YYYYYYYYYY OR MIKE MCCARTHY WE NEED CULTURE. We dont need to be superpower contenders next season we just need to win games and make the playoffs hopefully. We have talent and the talent can reach its potential playing under a great coach like Tomlin or Mike. Fire joe schoen fire Kafka. If you hire mike we need a good defensive coordinator if we hire Tomlin we need a good offensive coordinator its really easy just saying. I prefer mike because we dont give up picks and he is a free agent already. Now Tomlin would be my number 1 option if he gets let go but I would rather not use picks on a trade for tomlin

  7. I just don’t get the Mike Tomlin obsession. He has not done anything of relevance in years and now we are talking about trading out the first pick for him? That is ridiculous.

  8. Hey guys. If you’ve looked at any of my posts over the last month, I’ve been calling for the Giants to interview Marcus Freeman… At least. I’m not an Irish fan at all… I’m a Michigan fan for goodness sake’s… But I know good coaches when I see him.

    Coach Freeman has great command of his team, they adjust at halftime, his time management is suburb, and he knows how to talk to the media

    I think he would be awesome and if offered the job, I’m pretty sure he would take it

    Tomlin is a dream… If I could pick someone it would be him… I just do not see the Steelers letting him go
