Hortiz was my hope for GM in 2022, but yeah after his interview the Giants moved on.
I bet the Giants were not as excited about a Jim Harbaugh retred than other teams were. Also remember that this was before Harbaughs best two years at Michigan.
I liked Peters more because 49ers have been much better in the draft. The Bills and Dolphins teams that Schoen has been on haven’t been the best at drafting, outside of Josh Allen mainly. Ortiz I liked a decent amount too but he seemed to not even be in consideration.
Daboll I liked but I also liked Kevin O’Connell who we never even gave an interview.
People acting like bringing in Schoen and Daboll was some kind of massive blunder lol. It really wasn’t it just hasn’t worked out obviously. I’m not going to fault the hire and wanting to get people from a winning org like the Bills
Great. We’re worried about someone being nervous in our interview. So we get confident bozos instead.
Oh yeah, I’m sure hiring Jim Harbaugh would have been a massive success
Harbaugh is a winner everywhere he has been. That being said, he is a huge personality and wore out his welcome at the end of his time with SF.
I thought Ryan poles was the other option but it’s been a while so I’m prob wrong
Let’s not play pretend. Almost everyone, team, fans, media, loved the Schoen/Daboll decision. It looked like the right direction. Things don’t work out sometimes, but pretending it was the wrong decision at the time seems disingenuous.
4-13 instead of 2-15
This isn’t hindsight but I wanted Peters mainly because I wanted someone from that pipeline on the Giants.
Fans would have hated Harbaugh here.
I can imagine how much we’d have been going apeshit having Greg Roman as the OC given how unimaginative his offenses have shown to be and unlike LAC, we don’t have a stud like Justin Herbert under center.
How would internal Giants management feedback like this ever get out? That a guy seemed nervous in his interview? Is this on the web somewhere?
It’s weird like I’m okay with Daboll I’m iffy of Schoen. Like he drafted great this year. But you know it’s been a mess everywhere else. Daboll I think has been good. Players like him. I wanna see what he does with a Qb he drafts
Dabol legit sucks. Always making faces and faux angry does nothing but show up his players. Tanking for maybe the 12th best prospect if Sanders or maybe 20th if Ward. If they overpay for a veteran they are cooked salary cap wise. Maybe trade for the Michigan kid in Minnesota? Either way can’t give this duo another qb.
If Schoen stuck to what he said during his introduction, we’d be fine. But time and time again he drafts for need and changes directions so quickly that he cant stick with a plan
Infuriating stuff. Peters or Hortiz with Jim Harbaugh would’ve been exactly what the Giants needed!!!
lol there is no way Harbaugh would have came here in 2022. He only left Michigan this past year because he won a natty.
Did Joe not come out as a fraud? He looked like he was playing GM on Hard Knocks.
“What could have been” is pretty similar to what it is. Mara needs to stay hands off as his loyalty to Jones and thinking he could be an Eli clone were crazy.
Lmfao keep us the FUCK away from Jim.
Peters is in year 1 and took a QB the Giants could not. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
