What is the latest on the Giants' head coach search?
And she said, I wonder how on earth that country bumpkin found his way to town. And I said, hello country bumpkin. How's the frost out on the pumpkin? I've seen some sights and then you're something. Welcome to Giants Nation.
I'm your host, Bobby Skinner, here with my co-host, the football grump. And we've got... The 2025 season awards. We got most outstanding on both offense, defense, most improved, most underwhelming, which we're going to have a conversation about that rookie of the year and most underrated. But there's crazy head coaching buzz since the last time that we did a formal episode when the Giants decided to retain Joe Shane. We will give you a full head coach candidate preview, even though, Grump, I think we might have to turn that into a two-parter because right now, look, this is the list of of names that we've got. These are just interviews. Kevin Stefanski, Mike McCarthy, Raheem Morris, Antonio Pierce, Mike Kafka, Clint Kubiak, Cliff Kingsbury, Vance Joseph, Lou Anarumo, Darren Rizzi.
That doesn't include John Harbaugh. That doesn't include any of the wildcard round coaches that aren't able to be interviewed this week. We joked, people said, they're going to cast a wide net, but it's not going to be like the Jets, 15, 20 names. I think we're going to hit 15 names on this.
You know, maybe.
Who won the Offensive Most Outstanding award for 2025?
I don't know if there's going to be any. It's hard to imagine any other names. The two that are the two glaring ones. Krishula, Jesse Minner. Oh, Jesse Minner.
What factors contributed to the Defensive Most Outstanding award winner?
Yeah. And I was going to say Jeff Halfley. Those are kind of the names. Darren Rizzi is a bit of a surprise. There are some surprise names in here. Yeah. Yeah, it's a wide net for sure, and it covers everything. There's special teams guys there.
Who is considered the Most Underrated player on the Giants?
There's ex-head coaches, ex-interims, offense, defense. It's all over the place. Yeah, which I will say this.
I've only seen Jordan Schultz report Cliff Kingsbury and only Albert Breer, Clint Kubiak. Not to say that I don't trust those guys, but it is weird that Schefter and Rappaport haven't confirmed those ones. So... You know, we'll see with that. But the big news, Grump, let's not bury the lead. John Harbaugh. John Harbaugh fired by the Baltimore Ravens, sent everybody into a frenzy because now he becomes the most desired head coach. We talked about the last two months, Grump, about the Giants feel like they're looking for this guy that doesn't exist, a great experience, leadership, CEO.
Which player was recognized as the Most Improved for the Giants?
I'm like, well, those guys are either head coaches or aren't available to be head coaches without having, you know, they don't have experience. But it's like those guys come around every once in a while where you get the right scenario. Well, that's what you got. The Ravens missing the playoffs on a missed field goal. That ended up being the right scenario for the New York Giants to have an opportunity guy. And I think he goes to the top of everybody's list. Like he's the top of mind. You know, there's other guys I think could be bigger swings than him. But like I'm all in on John Harbaugh. It's just a question of who is he all in on because it feels like he gets to pick whatever team he wants to go to.
Yeah, I agree completely.
Who took home the Rookie of the Year award for 2025?
There are definitely other guys that I'm interested in. There's guys that are bigger swings or could be a better match. But I think John Harbaugh is the perfect match of safe and... Safe, but also not conservative. You know what I mean? This is sort of a...
A big move.
What are the implications of John Harbaugh's coaching status?
Kevin Stefanski or Mike McCarthy is safe and conservative. John Harbaugh is not. John Harbaugh is swinging for a guy who has proven to win over and over and over again with different styles. We're going to do a full preview on them, like I said, next week. I don't want to get too much. I just want to talk more about the situation. But, like... I'm in on Harbaugh. I think a lot of people are as well, too. You know, I tweeted two months ago when they fired Dave. I was like, yeah, I haven't done any research yet. But, like, the second name on my list was, like, John Harbaugh. Please fire him, Ravens. And that was two months ago.
