Julian Edelman entertains Bill Belichick to the Giants after Brian Daboll firing
NY Post
Julian Edelman knows the Giants “don’t really make crazy hires,” but tossed in a familiar dark horse anyway when speculating who could replace the fired Brian Daboll as head coach.
During Monday’s installment of his “Games with Names” podcast, the former Patriots receiver entertained the idea of his former coach, eight-time Super Bowl winner and current UNC football coach Bill Belichick, holding the position at an organization he’s long revered.
“There’s a team down in Chapel Hill that’s playing a little better. What if the Giants brought in Bill Belichick?” Edelman said.
“… He f–king loves them, we all know that. Guy shed a single tear every time we played there. The only time I saw him get happy [is] when he talked about LT [Giants Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor]. Just joking.”
Belichick — whose first year with North Carolina has been a rollercoaster of personal and professional highs and lows — first joined the Giants in 1979 as a defensive assistant and special teams coach under Ray Perkins. He was elevated to defensive coordinator in 1985, two years after Bill Parcells succeeded Perkins.
He won a pair of Super Bowls with the Giants before joining the Browns in 1991 for his first head coaching stint.
If we’re taking Leon Rose at his press-release words — which represents his only form of public communication these days — then the Knicks absolutely have to blitz for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The alliance between the Mara Family and the Tisch Family has, by and large, been the gold standard for all such partnership agreements. From the moment Wellington Mara and Robert Tisch entered into their 50-50 arrangement at the top of the Giants’ organizational flow chart on Feb. 21, 1991, this has been a model affiliation.
Cody Bellinger remains the Yankees’ No. 1 target, and while they aren’t necessarily close to a deal, they are making a big effort.
It wouldn’t be an NFL week if there weren’t some sort of controversy.
The Knicks have time to think. Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t going anywhere just yet.
