They don't want Josh Allen to blame himself.

They don't want Josh Allen to think he got Sean McDermott fired.

So I think they've concocted an explanation aimed at getting him not to feel like it's all his fault that Sean McDermott isn't there.

And now the challenge is to find a coach who recognizes the reality of the situation.

He works for Pagula.

He works for Brandon Bean.

They run the show.

And you're expected to at least get to where Sean McDermott got.

and get farther.

And that's a ton of pressure.

It's a great opportunity, but it's a ton of pressure on whoever takes that job.

Well, you know, this morphed from a situation where Joe Shane was going to hire the head coach.

And it's human nature in that situation to look for someone that you can trust not to come in and try to usurp your authority.

And for the Giants, for at least 50 years, the GM has been above the head coach.

So we had the announcement that Harbaugh is going to be the next coach and they're working on a contract.

And it took three days to work it out.

Why?

Because Harbaugh doesn't want to work.

for joe shane he wants a direct report to ownership and now we're seeing changes being made to the structure of the football operation i know it worked for george payton the gm of the broncos when sean payton came in because my first thought was george payton may be on borrowed time sean's taking over

The challenge for Joe Shane now is to figure out how to make John Harbaugh happy.
