It's amazing too that in the midst of all of this, there was a nationwide Verizon outage where text messages and phone calls weren't going through for like 50% of the nation. So even in the midst of this, you and I were in sort of a blackout. I didn't realize that my texts to you weren't going through. I just thought you were busy and shit.

116.873 - 128.025 Football Grump

You know, I guess we'll find that out in the next coming hours. And now it's Adam Schefter said it. Conor Hughes, I don't know if you saw that. Conor Hughes is basically saying that it is done. He is the coach.

Chapter 8: Why are fans relieved about not hiring Kevin Stefanski?

168.768 - 183.831 Football Grump

And I can't remember a time I felt more secure in a head coach hire. You know what I mean? Like Brian Dayball is excited about. But like first time head coach with a first time GM, a lot of question marks there can be excited without feeling secure. I feel secure and excited about this.

184.071 - 201.439 Bobby Skinner

Absolutely. And there's questions we're going to hit on at the end, too. But this day is about John Harbaugh. John Harbaugh. It's all about John Harbaugh. Uh, so this is our official episode breaking down the hire. We're going to have a lot to come, uh, going forward.

201.98 - 217.62 Bobby Skinner

You know, uh, you know, we're going to try and interview some people who have covered the Ravens when they get the coordinator hired, right? There's going to be film analysis of them. We're going to be at the senior bowl in a couple of weeks, hearing everything people are saying to us. They are breaking big blue live with, uh, Jordan Renan is going to be down there with us. So, uh,

217.6 - 231.796 Bobby Skinner

like and subscribe to this channel. I think we are the number one spot for the New York Giants football. Uh, we will have you covered all off season. We will not talk about the same topic over and over and over again. We're going to try and give you a bunch of, uh, different analysis, looking at a bunch of different things.

231.876 - 258.911 Bobby Skinner

So, uh, let's get into the day before we talk about why we're super excited about John Harbaugh specifically and what we think makes him a good coach. Um, So I was I was in panic, but I was worried because the day started and they're talking. There's reports of like, hey, one of the things they need to figure out is like the Joe Shane dynamic. Right. That's, you know, you know, ownership.

259.171 - 276.88 Bobby Skinner

Obviously, John Mara is sick. Chris Mara, the you know, the brother of John Mara went to John Harbaugh's house on Sunday. It's like that's something they need to kind of work through. And John Harbaugh needs to work through is Joe Shane as his general manager. All right. So we're we're wondering about that.

277.04 - 291.499 Bobby Skinner

Then it comes out like this push that like, hey, they're going to try and get this done today. Right. This is going to get done today, tomorrow. Like they don't want to let him go interview anywhere else. And so now we're under the like the expectation that that's going to happen because nobody knows.

291.682 - 315.495 Bobby Skinner

thought that we all thought he was going to go do his interviews that's what we had been told for about a week he's going to do he's going to pick his places then he's going to go interview and then he's going to make a decision and it'll likely happen next week and so when he left it's like okay but why did you kept telling us that you wanted to get this done today and then we felt like we were getting gaslighted by the same exact reporters being like who thought that this was going to get done today like well you guys are the ones who reported that

315.678 - 337.348 Bobby Skinner

And I think the reality is John Harbaugh wanted to probably go home, speak to his family, inform the other teams without the Giants in his ear, and think about it for at least an hour and make that decision that this is what he wants to do. He wants to be the next head coach of the New York Giants, and I'm excited about it. I think he brings a level of leadership that the Giants need.
