It has been a very exciting last few days. I would argue the last few days have been more

exciting for the New York Giants and the Jets to a degree than the previous 18 weeks of

garbage football. The Giants are full on their coaching search. There are a couple of available

names that became available over the last 72 hours. Kevin Stephansky, John Harbaugh,

things are heating up. So let's break it all down with a guy with as much inside as anybody.

The great Connor Hughes does a fine job for SNY. Conner, Sean Morash, Evan Roberts. How you doing

today, man? I'm doing well, guys. How are you?

Excellent. So when do they hire John Harbaugh? Do they do it by the end of tomorrow? Like, how quickly are they going to pull this off? Well, they still have to go through the whole process. And I don't necessarily mean the process with Harbaugh. I think if they could have the way that they wanted, yeah, they would probably hire them just about on the spot. But they still have to go through the Rooney Rule process and go through the multiple in-person interviews with minorities and things of that nature. So this is going to take time. But make no doubt about it. I mean, he seems to be the guy that they want from everything I've heard. Now, Connor, when it comes to Joe Shane and John Harba, I know there's varying reports out there that that wouldn't be a deterrent.

Do you think internally, Joe Shane is really going to push harder for a guy like Stefansky because he's worried about his own job with the John Harbaugh coming in? That is the thing. That's such a great question, Sean, because I think that's what fascinates me the most, because I dug on this. and it was once Harbaugh,

once Harbaugh was let go,

and you knew the Giants were going to be interested in it.

I made calls to,

I've been fortunate enough to be around enough And it was once Harbaugh, once Harbaugh was let go, and you knew the Giants were

to be interested in it, and I made calls to, I've been fortunate enough to be around enough people now that have worked with Harbaugh or no Harbaugh, and I've heard conflicting things. You know, some people told me, no way in heck, he's going to want to work with Joe Shane. Other people told me, no, there's going to be no way it wouldn't be deterrent at all. he would absolutely take it.

So I've heard conflicting things about it.

What I fall back on is that if you're Joe Shane and you're the one who is leading this search, and for all intents and purposes, it seems to be the guy that is the front man for this search and doing all the work and in these interviews and taking guys out to dinner and all that stuff, why would you even be entertaining someone if you had a fear that he's going to come in and immediately boot you out? I mean, again, that's not a source thing. That's just me falling back on logic. I can't imagine he would do that. I mean, I could see this being a one-year relationship potentially. And if it doesn't work, Shane moves on and the Giants move forward with Harbaugh.

I don't necessarily know, but I don't think that this will be Shane saying, hey, we need to go with Stefansky instead of Harbaugh trying to save his own. You know what? Because at the end of the day, when you compare the resumes and you compare the type of coach Harbaugh is, there's a reason why teams with coaches are calling about him,

let alone the Giants not doing everything they can to try to get him.

So on that note, unfortunately, you've been here for plenty of coaching changes in the New York locals. Is there ever going to be a point in time where John Harbaugh is in a room with people involved with the Giants that Joe Shane is also not in the same room at the same time?

I don't know the answer to that. I mean, I guess you talk like if this gets to an interview point where you know, it's just the Tish or it's just Mara or whoever, I don't know.

Just because if John doesn't want to work with Joe, it's very hard to say that with Joe in the

room. You know what I mean? Correct. Correct. Yeah. Look, I think here's the thing. If you hire somebody like Kevin Stefansky or you hire somebody like Mike McCarthy or you hire one of these coordinating guys, which, you know, whether it's Shula or Minter, guys who have absolutely resumes that are deserving of head coaching consideration and potentially head coaching jobs. These are guys that are going to get jobs. And when they are in there, it's going to be, okay, you're the head coach. That's the general manager. You're going to have your role. General manager is going to have your role. Collaborative working together, but it's going to be one and one. You know what I mean? it's going to be one over here, one over there. When you bring in somebody like Harbaugh,
