 Today it was revealed that Mike McCarthy has signed to be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and You got to wonder are the Giants set on rule? Because if they actually were considering Mike McCarthy and they let it get away from them. That's a that's a that's a mark against them now They're obviously gonna spin it if they do sign rule that that's the guy that we want it and that's fine That's all well and good Maybe he's the guy for them I thought it was personally should have been Mike McCarthy now when you look at it for the for the Cowboys that was the right move They've got a lot of talent Most people that you talked to in the NFL thought it was more or less a coaching issue rather than a talent issue They've got they've got talent on both sides of the ball. So now why not bring in a guy who is Coached a very good quarterback a great quarterback to great quarterbacks That is won a Super Bowl because Jerry Jones and his son Steven believed that this team is ready to roll Now are the Giants ready to roll next year? Probably not But do you want to turn it over to a coach that has one year as an assistant? Offensive line coach in the NFL because that's the way it looks done to me reading the tea leaves It looks like they had no intention of signing Mike McCarthy Twitter said this earlier it almost weeks of the Mets and Joe Giordi They talked to him that no intention of signing him. They wanted to sign somebody young They probably had Carlos Beltran on their mind and maybe it works out great for the Mets But who's the better manager in 2020 Joe Giordi is who's the better manager in 2020 for the Giants to me Mike McCarthy is not rule Yeah, but they must have just Had their mind set on him all along they did interview Mike McCartney interviewed a lot of people But just because you interview him doesn't mean that you're gonna hire him I think it's a good idea. It's a good practice to interview But it sounds like this is the guy they've wanted all along. He's 41 years old New York guy Ties to the organization and that's what kind of scares me going back to the conversation from last week Michael there's the unknown of the college coach making the jump to the NFL and Is this one of those giant hires? Where because he has ties the organization is this the conventional pick It's a safe pick because the overwhelming majority of people are not going to criticize it because he seems to be the flavor of the month He spent a year here with the Giants He comes in highly touted by people that used to work for the organization like Tom Conflin like Chris Snee But I just think there's a lot of unknown after you whiffed miserably the last two times you tried to bring in a coach And can I also say something about Steve Tish? So at the end of the year, he said he wants to be more involved, right? He's not even at the interviews Are you kidding me? He'll follow up. Oh, well if you want to be more involved yet to sit through the interviews with everybody That's not more involved Yeah, it's curious it It sounds to me like you wanted to get more involved and realized that the people that were making the decisions knew more than No, I think it's he wanted it more involved and said you know what I got other stuff where I make a lot of money in Hollywood But he knew that going in Michael then why do you say you want to be more involved? It's ridiculous. He looks so bad. You're not even you're not even in the middle of the year. Well, he'll do any follow-up interviews Okay, yeah, I'll play along but in fairness to The people that are making the decisions, right Income Steve Tish say I want to be more involved. Okay, but you haven't done the work, right? So why am I gonna listen to what you have to say if you haven't done the work You haven't been here all year you're out in Hollywood now all of a sudden because you talked to the to Bruce Beck about how you want to get more involved now. All right, so get more involved But you're gonna have to wait until the next decision because you haven't been around you haven't studying these coaches I'm sure that they've had listen a lot of the people that they're looking at We're probably guys that were hoping for jobs when they hired Sharma a couple of years ago, right? But they interviewed Jocelyn German the same people. I I feel Like people misunderstood what we were saying last week. I'm not saying he can't be a great coach. He could be a great coach But there is a lot of unknown about it And if you're telling me that this is the right hire because of the ties to the organization Then that sounds to me like it's a typical giant hire, which over the last couple of years really haven't worked out The Giants going by their gut doing the giant way Is that the way you want things to be from now on? This is too important to hire if you're coming after Tom Coughlin All right, then maybe you could afford to make to whiff you've whiffed the last two times Miserable what the first guy didn't even make it through his second year you fired him and then yet then the other guy Basically made it through the second year only because you couldn't do it again the fire in somebody in the middle of a season so you can't afford to get this one wrong and This complete disinterest in Mike McCarthy to me Just sounds like they just had rule pigeonholed from the very beginning. I imagine that rules interviewing with other teams, too Let me maybe says, you know, I want the Carolina job or I want the Browns job Well, you have egg on your face. Well, that was unless they have a secret Agreement with him that he's the guy they could they were they just know but let us let us talk to candidates Let let us pick their brains. Let us get a minority candidate So we adhere to the Rooney rule all of that and then it'll be you maybe that's what's going on now
