00:00What kind of coach do the Giants need to stop this coaching carousel

00:03that we've seen over the last decade plus?

00:07A good one.

00:09Yes, that would help, Mike.

00:10A good one.

00:10That would help.

00:11See, here's the thing.

00:12People want to say, well, get an experienced coach.

00:14Get an experienced coach.

00:15Guess what?

00:15When Bill Parcells was hired, that was his first head coaching job

00:18in the NFL.

00:19That's a good point.

00:20Everybody who's been hired was hired for the first time.

00:23You know, sometimes that's Tom Landry,

00:24and you wind up coaching for 35 years.

00:27And sometimes it's Joe Judge, and you wind up, you know,

00:29coaching competently for maybe three games.

00:34Look, if it was easy, everybody would hire a good coach.

00:37And that's the thing.

00:38Everything about Shane and Dave will scream that this was a great

00:42and inspired choice.

00:44And let's not forget that in their first year,

00:46what ultimately might doom them is that they were so far above expectation.

00:51They were 9-6-1.

00:52They made the playoffs.

00:54They won a playoff game.

00:56I mean, they were so far ahead.

00:57I mean, if the Giants had started that first year 2-14

01:00and then progressed, I mean, things might have been different.

01:04I mean, look, I mean, we're not talking about three bad years in a row,

01:07and it's hard for any coach to survive that.

01:09But, you know, you add into the fact, the mix here,

01:12that they both had such early speed.

01:14And, you know, Dable's first game as a coach,

01:16he was treated like a savior because he went for two

01:19at the very end of a game in Tennessee.

01:21Remember that?

01:22That seems like about –

01:23I remember that, yeah.

01:23That was only three years ago.

01:25And, you know, that's the nature of it.

01:27So, there's a question.

01:28I mean, look, if there was one guy I could say hire, I mean, yeah,

01:32I'd love to say that.

01:33But I'm not that smart because I don't think a lot of people are that smart.

01:37Sometimes you've got to get lucky and hire the right guy.

01:40Who thought Bill Belichick was the right guy after his turn year in Cleveland

01:43and his first year in New England?

01:45Nobody did.

01:46You know, look what happened there.

01:47I mean, so these things are just – they're hard to predict.

01:50I mean, obviously, you know, if you hire an established coach

01:53like Denver did, you know, with Sean Payton,

01:56you have an idea that they're going to know what they're doing.

01:59But there's no guarantee there.

02:01You know, I know that one of the hot names now is Lane Kiffin.

02:03I love Lane Kiffin.

02:04I think he's a terrific coach.

02:05I think he belongs – he needs to stay in Ole Miss because he's got a kingdom there.

02:10And that includes all the other great, you know, big-time programs

02:13that are going to be begging for him to come over the next couple of weeks

02:16in addition to whatever pro offers you might have.

02:19But, you know, let's not forget, Lane Kiffin didn't exactly set the world on fire

02:23his first time in the NFL either.

02:24That was a long time ago.

02:26But you never have any – you just never have any guarantees.

02:29I know people want to say, don't hire a coordinator this time.

02:31Who knows?

02:32Maybe you're going to hire a great coordinator.

02:34You know, Andy Reid was a coordinator once.

02:36It's true.

02:37He worked out okay.

02:38Okay.
