in recent Giants history, if this all works out the way we expect it to work out.

Chapter 2: What past press conferences are referenced and what lessons can be learned?

34.117 - 51.98 Gio

We've been through some press conferences. We didn't know what we were going to get. The Ben McAdoo big suit, the Joe Judge firing everybody up, the Adam Gase bopping around, eyes going everywhere with the tacos. We've seen it all, man.

52.521 - 66.523 Boomer

I know one thing. We're going to get a little bit of a history lesson from John Harbaugh today. He's going to talk about the New York football giants. That's how he's going to talk about the team. He's going to talk about the rich history. He's going to talk about the Mara family.

0

66.563 - 77.558 Boomer

He's going to talk about the respect that he has for one of the legacy franchises and what an honor it is to be able to make $20 million a year to coach this team and to have the

0

77.538 - 104.49 Boomer

unbridled support of ownership on all three sides whether it be the tish family the mara family the coke family um chris mara did a great job here getting down there in front of him as quickly as he did i thought i thought that was the way to kick this whole thing off and i i hear the word collaboration and good young players and joe shane's going to be a pleasure to work with he'll be asked you know are you reporting to the owner which i'm sure he is oh yeah that was a big thing

0

104.47 - 121.634 Boomer

Well, I mean, that's what he did down with Steve Bishotti, and that's why Steve Bishotti called him on his phone. I'm reporting to you that you're fired. So, yeah, we're going to hear all of that kind of stuff. The only advice that I would give him would be just be careful with the word championship when you're talking about the future.

122.074 - 137.459 Boomer

You talk about we're building for championships, not that we're going to win them, but that we're going to build and we're going to try to sustain greatness for as long as we can. And we're going to try to reflect the great teams of the past. And find that giant pride that has been missing.

137.88 - 156.917 Boomer

Now, unfortunately, if he says something like that, it's a shot at these other coaches that have been here before. And he's not that type of guy either. He's not going to try to rip or embarrass anybody that's been in this spot before he was here. So he's going to try to be gracious. He's going to be professional. And I think that's exactly what you want as a Giant fan.

156.977 - 175.087 Boomer

And you know that the work begins today. He's in the office today. He's interviewing coaches. He's talking about bringing in different types of coaches. This is going to be great. The other thing, too, I was wondering when... When Sean McDermott got fired, did the coaching staff get fired again? Or are they trying to keep some of their coaches up there?

175.347 - 195.205 Boomer

And if there is a new coach coming, would that coach inherit those coaches? You know, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. So that would be like if Brian D'Abel went there, I'm sure he knows all those people up there. I would think that he wouldn't want to change too much. But if there were a place for the offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, it would be the Cincinnati Bengals.

Chapter 3: What historical context will Harbaugh provide about the New York Giants?

222.545 - 228.683 Boomer

Yeah, so if that happens, you know, could that mean Joe Brady ends up in Cincinnati with Zach Taylor?

0

229.165 - 233.498 Gio

That would be very interesting. Let's go to Jonathan in Brooklyn. What's going on, Jonathan?

0

234.882 - 236.066 Unknown

Hey, what's going on, guys?

0

236.086 - 236.908 Gio

Hey, man, what's up?

0

237.631 - 259.167 Unknown

So actually, since you guys are talking about Joe Brady, I just wanted to run something by you guys. So it's actually kind of breaking Jets forum and Jets Twitter spaces. And it's just a rumor. It's probably nonsense, but that the Jets are currently doing back channel coverage. you know, working with Joe Brady and that Aaron Glenn wouldn't be safe.

259.187 - 271.923 Unknown

And if Joe Brady decided, hey, the Jets are the right place because of the draft picks and the chance at least one of these years to get a quarterback, that he would come here. So I wanted to kind of just brush that little rumor by you guys.

271.963 - 278.491 Boomer

And you're saying that the hearsay and the rumors out there that if Joe Brady would come to the Jets and they would fire Aaron Glenn?

279.472 - 280.834 Unknown

And they will fire Aaron Glenn, yeah.

281.641 - 312.457 Gio

Yeah, I mean, we've talked about this before. The Jets would have to pay the rest of Aaron Glenn's contract. Although good news is that Rob Sala is off the dole now. He is. That is true. As he gets the job with the Titans. I don't know. I mean, is Woody Johnson in love with Joe Brady? Did they bring him in to even interview last year? I don't think they could do this.

Chapter 4: How does Harbaugh view the support from the Mara and Tish families?

314.119 - 319.505 Gio

What do you mean you don't think they could do it? Like actually can't do it? Physically can't do it?

0

319.565 - 343.7 Boomer

I mean, wouldn't they have to go through all the Rooney rules and everything? Or I don't know how that would work. Yeah. I mean, you know, the Indianapolis Colts, when this happened with Josh McDaniels and Frank Reich, the Indianapolis Colts had already gone through the Rooney rule requirements hiring Josh McDaniel. And Josh basically backed out of the job, so all requirements were satisfied.

0

343.74 - 346.166 Boomer

That's why they could just turn to Frank and give him the job.

0

346.407 - 373.298 Gio

Yeah. Yeah, I don't think that... Well, first of all, it's a rumor. But I don't believe that... Oh, they did? Okay. So they did request an interview with Joe Brady last year when they were talking, when they were going to hire Aaron Glenn and ended up hiring Aaron Glenn. So they did have him in the building. Yeah, and that's Mike Tannenbaum's group.

0

373.318 - 375.081 Boomer

What, the 33rd team?

375.121 - 376.043 Gio

33rd team.

376.163 - 392.459 Boomer

Right. So, yeah, I mean, Mike is plugged in as much as anybody is, and they're the ones that kind of – I guess, I don't know if they were. Do they represent coaches, the 33rd team, or are they just hired as consultants?

392.66 - 414.845 Gio

Consultants, I believe. I don't believe that they are agents in any way. Are they involved in the meetings, the interviews, or is it just the team? That's a good question. Not sure. Yeah, but the Jets, here's the thing that's interesting, though. The Jets could have offered Joe Brady the job last year when they interviewed him. And he didn't take it.

414.865 - 430.296 Gio

And they could have, if they wanted him so badly, could have fired Aaron Glenn at the end of this year and offered him a job because he was an offensive coordinator. And that would have been a move up, so I don't know why now. I'm assuming they still would have to go through all the protocol before...

Chapter 5: What are the implications of discussing championships in the Giants' future?

441.15 - 442.551 Gio

He was an offensive coordinator.

0

442.592 - 463.126 Boomer

So the Dolphins are filled, the Falcons are filled, the Titans are filled, and the Giants are filled. Okay, so that leaves six other jobs. Yeah. And so a number of coordinators are still coaching. Ryan Flores is not coaching. He's out there. I don't know. I haven't heard much about him.

0

463.166 - 486.794 Gio

He was linked to the Steelers, and he was linked to the Raiders. Mike McDaniel is still out there, and he has had a number of interviews. If he doesn't get a head coaching job, then he'll be Rob Sala's offensive coordinator. He has to be. That's his boy. That would be great. You'd have two of the best coordinators there. Rob Sala is a defensive coordinator.

0

486.814 - 496.847 Boomer

Rob Sala has told Tennessee that he will be calling the defense. It's one thing he did not do here. Although that Jeff Albrecht, when Rob was the head coach and Jeff Albrecht was calling the defense, they were fine.

0

496.927 - 497.728 Gio

Yeah, they were.

498.729 - 514.789 Boomer

I mean, I don't know. I guess there's really just a mixed perception about the whole thing. If you have a guy that you believe in, like he believed in Jeff Holbrook, they worked well together. And believe you me, he's on the headsets with the defensive coordinator.

518.11 - 526.135 Gio

So you see the difference between the offense and the defense when Rob Sala was here. Bottom of the league with the offense.

526.175 - 538.093 Boomer

They never had the quarterback, man. And the one thing that helped his defense when they were winning out there in San Francisco is that offense for a period of time there, it looked like they were virtually unstoppable.
