Many Giants fans rejoiced after hearing Joe Judge will not be the head coach of their favorite team next season. However, the Giants still need a replacement for Joe Judge, as now they will have their fourth new head coach in a span of six years. It is vital for Big Blue to make the right choice to prevent having five coaches in eight years.
This head coach search is different for the Giants than the previous ones, since this time there is a great replacement available. Brian Flores is the best candidate to be the next Giants head coach. The Dolphins moving on from a coach that took a 1-7 team with not an abundance of talent to a 9-8 team is puzzling. One of the reasons that has been mentioned, is Brian’s relationship with Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins General manager. Ideally, an organization would want everyone to be on the same page, but the most important thing is to win games. There are many head coaching jobs open and with how many problems the Giants have, their opening is not appealing.
The most important aspect of a football team, is having a quality and reliable quarterback. The Giants have still yet to find that, as Daniel Jones did not have a great year and did not finish the season after getting injured. The Giants also do not have a ton of cap room, which makes it even more difficult to improve their team. Even despite all the struggles the Giants have, Flores is interested in becoming the head coach.
Insider Jordan Shultz said that Flores would “Prioritize the G-men job ‘at or near the top of his list,’ per a source close to the situation.” One of the main reasons Brian Flores has been linked to the Giants is his New York heritage. Having a coach who knows New York, can be a nice bonus when it comes to coaching one of the New York teams. It was clear that Joe Judge was not made for New York with the way he conducted his press conferences. The occasional sarcasm and overall demeanor of Judge did not resonate well with Giants fans. When the head coach of a team that has underachieved is joking around at a press conference, they have essentially written their resignation letter. Flores knows how New York fans are and would handle his press conferences much differently. The other main problem for the Giants is the head coaching job is not the only important vacancy they have.
The person that will decide the next Giants head coach is the team president. However since the Giants do not have a president, they have not begun the head coach interviews. It is important that the Giants get the right president who can hopefully find the quarterback of the future and solve the salary cap issues. The head coach search is an easy solution, the candidate who has had a winning season, is familiar with New York, and wants to be the head coach is exactly what the Giants need. Big Blue can not take Flores’ interest for granted, not every coaching candidate would want to get involved in the mess that is the New York Giants.
