The NFL Coaching Carousel pre-2026 edition

The Giants interviewing Mike McCarthy.   

 

Isn't he kind of like Jeff Fisher?   He's just there.   The very definition of a re-tread? 

 

I mean, he wouldn't be bad, but does he inspire any excitement?

Mike McCarthy is worse than vanilla ice cream.

The Mara family likes vanilla ice cream.

Years ago I would agree with the "worse than vanilla ice cream" being an insult.    But then I had high quality vanilla ice cream and my attitude has changed.   Do vanilla right and it's great.    Vanilla gelato at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor blows the chocolate away.    

Sometimes vanilla is good and when you have been casting about in a sea of mediocrity as long as the Giants had, maybe you need the stabilizing effect of a Mike McCarthy to correct things before you go and get the exciting guy.    

I mean, like Jeff Fisher, you're always probably going to be in the 7-10 win range, hoping for a couple lucky breaks or a perfectly-timed hot streak like they did when they denied the Patriots an undefeated season.   

 

I think Mike McDaniel was fired because they have already hired John Harbaugh.    Stephen Ross -  Michigan connection.  

Maybe the belief is Harbaugh and Monken can resurrect Tua's career.    But if that's the case, you better have a really good back up because that one bad hit is always looming.   If he gets another obvious concussion, they can't let him play again.

These are good takes and better segues, get this guy in front of a mic. 😉

He’s the players choice, but if they cared about what the players wanted they probably wouldn’t have fired Stefanski

Stephen Ross on Mike McDaniel firing: Our organization is in need of comprehensive change

 

“After careful evaluation and extensive discussions since the season ended, I have made the decision that our organization is in need of comprehensive change.”

 

 

He’s so close to seeing the problem.
