Pay the cost to be the boss. Pay the cost to be the boss. I pay the cost to be the boss.
What are the highlights from John Harbaugh's introductory press conference?
Look at me. You know what you see. You see a bad mug. Look at me.
Welcome to the Giants Nation. I'm your host, Bobby Skinner, here with my co-host, the football grump. And today, we got John Harbaugh's introductory press conference. We're going to talk about it. First time hearing from ownership in over a year. First time hearing from Chris Mayer, really, ever. We heard from Joe Shane, obviously the Harbaugh press conference, everything we thought about that. A big, big day. Hopefully a great day for the Giants. And we get to look back at it certainly seemed like a celebration in the building. We saw John Harbaugh arrive on Monday night.
What key principles and methods did John Harbaugh emphasize?
And guess what? I decided to pull out. I had the same shirt as John Harbaugh. So I'm wearing it for the I'm wearing for the podcast.
What additional notes were shared from the press conference?
I put tennis balls on my hands and I ran a lap for Joe Judge. I'll wear this blue button up for John Harbaugh.
geez, you're so much more prepared than I am.
How is the power structure changing in the Giants organization?
And it seems like you're a little bit more prepared than Joe Shane was to introduce John Harbaugh.
What role is Chris Mara taking in the organization?
And so possibly this monumental moment in Giants history, perhaps the moment in which, you know, the whole organization gets turned around and started that way with a whole lot of, I mean, that was weird, right? But it felt like, it felt normal until he kind of stumbled and then it kind of felt like he just got panicky. So I'm not gonna,
I'm not trying to bash him, but it was... I don't want to pile on this too much. That's not the point of the episode today. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. But that was... I never got so many texts simultaneously in my life where everyone's like, what? I was like, what is going on? What are you panicking about?
What insights did Joe Schoen share about the team's direction?
All you have to do is say it was a great search and you landed with a great candidate in Joan Harbaugh and you think he's going to turn this franchise around? I now introduce you, the 21st head coach in the New York Giants, Joan Harbaugh. I was shocked. I saw some people say these shoes, like, oh, they had to walk a long way.
How does Joe Schoen view his role and the confidence in his decisions?
But SNY videos... Had a clip of them walking in. They were very laissez-faire walking in. Harbaugh stopped and talked with players. It wasn't like they had to jog over or anything. It was so weird. I was shocked. If that happened on the bi-week press conference or even the end of the season press, it would be understandable. That was very weird. I don't know what the hell was going on, but it did not distract me from John Harbaugh.
No, I think he just had an idea of what he wanted to say rehearsed in his head and then tripped over some words and then started to panic. I don't think it was anything major. It's funny, though. I'll laugh. But but Harbaugh was very composed. I found him very, very interesting to listen to. He used the word football a million times. And that sounds like a bad speaker, but he was really driving home a point of emphasis for him. He had several that he went over multiple times. So I actually found it to be a pretty illuminating press conference.
You know what? He treated it just like a normal press conference. We've done these head coaching press conferences a lot over the years, and then you watch them around the league. You see the Jets go through a bunch of them, right? And you see a lot of them They're just trying to sell themselves, right? Like, this is... I'm going to put together... These are my eight bullet points of what we're trying to build here. I'm going to come across as stern, all that stuff. And that really wasn't what it was with John Harbaugh. It seemed like a very normal press conference. You know, he was 100% himself in it. And he didn't feel like he was selling himself because I think his resume does that. Like, that's what happens when you get...
You know, a head coach who's been a coach for 18 years in the NFL has won a Super Bowl. He doesn't feel the need to go out there and tell you everything that he's going to enact and do. He's more so been like, this is what I do.
