Who is the owner?
Do they have a quarterback?
The answers to those two questions are paramount, as far as what a prospective head coach wants to get straight in his head. Unless the guy is desperate and will take any job offered to him, someone with options needs to make sure the person paying him and the key individual playing for him give him the best chance to win, in the building and on the field.
The Giants (2-8) have a terrible record this season, are coming off a terrible record (3-14) last season and have a trail of losing a mile long. But with John Mara and Steve Tisch, they have longstanding, respected ownership — this is not conjecture, this is NFL-wide sentiment — and in Jaxson Dart, they possess someone who is well on his way to having “franchise” inserted into his position description.
