jason Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 This seems like a match made in heaven. A team has... 1. A troubled locker room and needs a disciplinarian. 2. Plenty of talent. 3. An aging, veteran QB. 4. A bad defense that needs to be turned around by a defensive mind. 5. A new GM looking for a head coach. It would not shock me in the least if Fox gets fired, and immediately gets thrown into the mix as the #1 name for the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Fox and Gettleman have been able to talk since Gettleman was not employed in the NFL (no tampering). If Fox is on, or even at the top of, his short list of candidates in NY he already knows about it. Might be why he's been so calm about things the last week or two.

He also mentioned recently that he has not had trouble finding employment in the NFL. He is overly confident for someone who is almost certainly getting fired about 3:01pm on Sunday.

That comment is absolutely fact. His resume before getting here speaks for itself. So he's just being honest. And you say he's overly confident? Sure but I want a HC that's confident. He's been in the business a long time he knows if he comes out and sounds beaten down he will get crushed for it. I've seen hue Jackson sound way over confident as well despite his team has 1 total win in the 2 yrs he's been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not shock me in the least if Fox gets fired, and immediately gets thrown into the mix as the #1 name for the Giants. There is the Ernie Accorsi connection too. Also, Gettleman was on the Giants staff with Fox from 1997-2001 (which included a SB appearance). So there is familiarity there from multiple angles.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised that if Fox ends up in NY they are in the playoffs in short order. Their defense has a good number of playmakers on it (even though Apple is dubbed a “cancer” by Collins). And hey, Fox has worked with Eli’s big brother so there is that. Saw some rumors where Peyton is interested in coaching. Maybe he’d like to help little bro out and join Fox’s staff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Fox and Peyton teaming makes a lot of sense. IF that plays out you said it first! I have heard reports that Peyton is interested in running a team. Not so sure at the GM level, but at the president level. If I was Virginia, I would kick Teddy out and welcome Peyton in. Maybe Peyton wants to take steps to get there which may involve some coaching duties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only flaw in my theory is there is heavy speculation of Eli going to Jacksonville. I could see that with Coughlin in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only flaw in my theory is there is heavy speculation of Eli going to Jacksonville. I could see that with Coughlin in play. I don't think that's happening with Gettleman. He reportedly If they draft a rookie QB I think he wants Eli there for a year or two. That makes sense in a lot of ways because Rosen might be the only QB in the draft who could start this year. Darnold for all his talent would benefit from a year and probably two behind Eli. Same goes for Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/dave-gettlema...ory?id=52060594 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
