Pat Shurmur delivers commanding presence in Giants press conference

Shortly after Jon Mara and Pat Shurmur shook hands, the lights dimmed in the Giants press room as Shurmur walked to the mike. Once the lights came back on, Shurmur cracked a smile and a couple of jokes, before getting down to business. The lights are staying on with this guy in the  house. 

The Giants got themselves an "adult," a head coach who is going to have full command of the team when the players reconvene in late March. Shurmur came off as organized and strong in his first press conference in front of the New York media, a huge contrast from the guy he succeeded in Ben McAdoo, who was rigid and arrogant. 

Now the challenge will be figuring out the Giants quarterback situation, handling its plethora of stars and fixing a team that was in disarray this past season.
