So, the fact that the Giants hired an EX Bills guy, and then he hired an EX Bills guy has nothing to do with it? Daboll was a foregone conclusion and had nothing to do with GaseFlo or anyone else other than the GM wanted Daboll from the start, and frankly there is nothing wrong with that, unless the thinking is GaseFlo should have been hired because he is "Black".In my previous post, I said if Lovie Smith were a candidate, other teams should have been aware of it. In Giant's case, he felt that the interview wasn't genuine because of the text message he received from Belichick. But as usual, most people are asking the wrong question. We should ask why Belichick texted Daboll three days before the interview to congratulate him. The evidence provided by Flores backed his story, but for some strange reason, he is at fault.
I have said this before, there are only 32 of these jobs in a world of 9 Billion people, the fact that you are interviewed is no small feat. Football is a lot like Big finance, if you are personally interviewed by Paul Tudor Jones (PJ to his friends), that alone, is a recommendation, even if you don't get the job. So even having an interview on a resume, is a very good thing. Now here is another difference between a regular job and a high profile position, the back channel communications. Texans to C Grier, "So tell us about GaseFlo" CG "Well he does not "communicate and collaborate well" so there is that".
Now, it is quite obvious there is some kind of "weirdness" going on in the hiring. There is the supposition that the percentage of coaching and managerial ranks of the NFL are in line with the general population, however, you can't pull from the pool of the general population for these jobs, you have to pull from the industry itself. So since that is the reality, out of all of the Minority players, there are only a very small percentage who qualify as coaches, looks kind of odd to me.
