Would you rather have a proven "QB Whisperer" like Stefanski or the guy running the #1 defense in the league, Matt Burke? Debate in the comments! 👇
Kevin is not good Alex. Kevin is not responsible for defense that jim. Kevin is not even playcalling. Kevin is not even better than Daboll
See how the Knicks let go of Thibs and got a Mike Brown in there to elevate. We need a handoff like that. I don’t want stubborn coach. We need a schematic coach that’s going to help Dart and unleash our defense
NEWSFLASH! The Giants have been a garbage organization the last 10 years! I like the idea of Stefanski as a head coach as long as Joe Schoen is not the GM!
Suggesting Stefanski and Boosting him up like he’s such a great coach is crazy. Yall sound like Acho. What have he done with the Browns??? He made them a circus because of how He handled the QB position. But oh wait he won 2 time coach of year awhile back so he’s the guy 🤦🏾♂️ What a Joke
Do your homework. Stefanski is not the guy. He is the one who pushed for drafting Gabriel. His special teams coach is the worst. He has ruined the QB position in Cleveland. Ran Baker Mayfield out of town. Another Daboll situation. You guys sound stupid on this one
MILES GARRETT WILL BE MILES WHEREVER HE HE IS CANT HIVE THAT CREDIT TO STEFANSKI
Said Kevin Stefanski once Daboll was fired
The hate on Shedeur can only work for so long, Sanders is a better QB than Pop-Tart hands down.
The college stats proved it and now his NFL stats does as well (& he played less games) 🤣
Kevin Stefanski sucks! How hé signed off on Drafting Dillion Gabriel,Then starting him is beyond me.Hard pass.
Schoen is one of those guys whose best skill is keeping his job.
Happy New Year, gents! Stefanski is and was one of my top choices for Dabolls replacement. Even over Mcarthy. Much like Tomlin and Harbaugh, im still just not convinced he shakes loose.i see Burke as a consolation prize i can live with.
wouldn't be my first choice at all but I wouldn't be upset about it as long as he brings over Jim Schwartz with him to remain his DC
Stefanski???? If we fired Daboll just to hire him that would be a classic move from the giants lol what a dumpster fire man
Ravens lose on Sunday, Jon Harbaugh needs to be the Giants top choice for HC, not Kevin Stefanski
Schwartz would not want to be dc for the Giants,
he hates them. He is a hothead.
They need to get Brian Flores.
Would like Ian Cunningham as Giants gm.
Head coach I want for the New York Giants is either Dan Lanning of Oregon, or Klint Kubiak of the Seahawks or Mike McCarthy.
Ooh hell no that is a big mistake By the new york giants management look at what he did with the cleveland browns.Are you serious
I wouldn't mind Stefanski. Cleveland is kind of an incompetent organization. Not that the Giants haven't been either, but at least historically they haven't. I'd be fine with Stefanski. Guess we'd find out whether it was on him in Cleveland or just the organization is that incompetent
A lot of giant fans have to remember Bill Belichick was Browns coach and failed moved on and became successful
I think Kevin Stefanski is a good coach. Just needs a good opportunity and a fresh start. I’d welcome Kevin Stefanski. I do not want a first-time head coach done with that.
Stefanski is the real deal.
I prefer a guy that is battle hardened in a non-ideal situation similar to the Giants then a coach coming from a stacked team.
I hope Vic Dibitetto remains as Grand Pubah of Football Operaiche. 😊😊
Enough of your hatred for Schoen! So the GM would in affect work at the pleasure of the HC I hope not
Why stefanski? That would be a lateral move from daboll. And we’re not letting a coach pick a GM… that’s ass backwards. Let the gm pick the coach… if it’s schoen or someone else.
Happy New Year, guys!
It's funny that this comes out after it was suggested that Freeman may have been told Schoen wasn't leaving and decided to stay at Notre Dame. Not saying that's what happened but the timing is interesting
Coaching Tree + Coaching Lineage – Shula has both
Please Alex, never recommend keeping Kafka ever again lol
Didn't Stefanski decide to go with Gabriel at QB over Sanders when every1 with a pulse know Sanders was better. Yeah not interested in that guy
No to Stefanski he has a losing record as HC. He was also HC when Browns signed Watson, the worst deal in NFL history while letting Baker go. Spare me coach of the year BS, Daboll was one also. The only good thing in Browns is Jim Shwartz defense and nothing to do with Stefanski
He was unable to turn around the Browns – you can say it was Browns fault, but he will be in very similar situation in NY.
No to Burke, that defense and system is Demeco Ryans
Please no Kevin he’s clueless, we even bring him in for a second interview if he gets let go just shows how dense this franchise is
Yall love feeding us dreams I swear
The giants haven’t shown us they are capable of picking a good head coach for the last ten years
NY Giants need someone more proven as a head coach, but this is a start when it comes to possible candidates.
Why is Brian Flores on no one's list? He scared us into not playing. The crap in Miami he overcame. Experienced successful coach
Oh God no, on Stafanski. I mean why? I just don't get hiring a failed head coach after we just had 3 of them. Or was it 4? I Wanted Dabol gone too but if we had a good DC we would have 7 or more victories. Stafanski has a good DC by your own account and still only has 3 victories. The math ain't mathing.
i swear if Stefanski is our HC im done. Cant stand the bloke. But ill take their DC coordinator, Jim Schwartz
Qb whisper by far, however isn't srefanski under contract for another 3-4 years? Im worried about compensation if Browns don't release him.
The question is why doesn’t John Mara do what’s best for the organization?
No to stefanski , he’s been there long enough . Go with a stabilizing presence McCarthy , he’s won plenty of
