I'm at the point as the day went on yesterday that I really, really want the Giants to hire Kevin Stefansky. I mean, I just think it's absolutely perfect. And one of these teams finally caught a break when it came from who was available when they fired a coach. I was thinking when he did come available, would the Jets consider their thought about Aaron Glenn? Yeah, but if I'm Kevin Sampansky, I'm not going to the Jets.

0:21.6

I know, this is the part of it, though.

0:23.3

So, like, you're not...

0:24.8

And Todd McShay said it yesterday, too, so there's not a single player in the draft.

0:28.9

It wants to be a New York Jet.

0:30.0

Now, that might be a little bit of an exaggeration.

0:32.8

But when it comes to the head coaches, I keep saying this, that Aaron Glenn was the only guy who would rather coach the Jets than anybody else. I firmly believe that anybody else out there that was a candidate that had offers from two different teams, and the Jets were one of them, they were taking the other team. So that's another reason why Aaron Glenn has to stay here. But if I'm Kevin Stafansky and I'm the New York Giants, I make sure that this

thing happens and I think that Jackson Dart would be an amazing, we just think the Browns are always terrible, like, and they have been. Just watching their owner yesterday talk. Yeah, it's a disaster. And like, but the fact that this guy was able to do what he did, you know, have three playoff games when he was there win one of them two coach of the years i mean just the fact that this guy was able to do what he did, you know, have three playoff games when he was there, win one of them, two coach of the years. I mean, just the fact that, you know, all the quarterbacks that he had to go through. And I know that he probably had some input on some of it, but he basically, you know, Jimmy Haslam. I think he lost out on some of that input. Yeah, and Jimmy Haslam, too, I don't know if he was just taking all the slings and arrows yesterday or really was true, made it seem like he was the only driving force behind the Deshawn Watson thing.

1:38.1

He made it sound like that.

1:40.0

But Stefansky, to me, it's the perfect guy at the right time for this organization.

1:45.2

We always yell and screwing about guys with a head coaching experience.

1:49.7

He's been through the blender of the NFL in one of the worst organizations in sports.

1:55.2

If he comes here with Jackson Dart, I mean, that's exactly the guy that we're talking about.

2:00.1

When we said who is the Vrable

2:01.8

of this class? You would think it would be Kevin Stefanski. That's the closest thing that we have to it. Now, Kevin Stefanski wasn't a player, didn't win championships with the Giants like Vrable did with the Patriots, but that's the closest thing that we have. And we don't have the Ben Johnson comp. We don't have that this year.

2:17.7

I wonder if Kevin Stefansky and Jonathan Gannon,

2:20.7

I'm sure they know each other. I don't know if they've ever worked together before. But if you had Kevin Stavansky as your head coach and Jonathan Gannon as your defensive coordinator? Well, yeah. I mean, that would be great. And obviously. Because Jonathan was really good in Philadelphia, and he was replaced by Nick,

2:35.4

Vic Fangio.

2:36.6

I think it was Vic Fangio who replaced him in Philadelphia

2:39.1

after he left to go to Arizona.

2:40.7

Yeah.

2:41.3

I think it was him.
