Report: Coaches hesitant to join Giants without major structural changes

For those New York Giants fans who were hoping for some fundamental changes up and down the organization, they are about to be disappointed it appears.

The team has fired head coach Pat Shurmur, but is choosing to retain general manager Dave Gettleman, who many believe the game has passed by.

But the Giants have so many individuals deeply rooted in their process, it would be almost impossible for them detangle all of them out. That archaic structure with so many old-school thinkers will likely keep innovative minds and other coaches seeking some control over personnel away.

The Giants have gotten feedback in recent weeks that some coaches would be hesitant to go there without structural changes. Lots of people have been in their jobs for decades there. Some think the franchise needs a reset.

We'll see what happens.

To his credit, Gettleman has made some tweaks to the scouting and personnel departments, but he can’t do anything about the ownership group, especially Chris Mara, who is the Giants’ senior vice president of player personnel.

To his credit, and contrary to popular belief, Dave Gettleman has made a serious effort to modernize the Giants scouting department over the last 2 years. So the main thing here isn't him.

The organization has too many shot callers outside of the general manager that makes the coaching — and GM job — less attractive to anyone who want sot be their own man.
