Browns' Stefanski Linked as "Fit" for Giants Job

 We are days away from the  New York Giants taking center stage in their Head Coaching search for 2026. New York fired Brian Daboll eight weeks ago, and the speculation has been running rampant since about who will be the ultimate successor. 

With days to go before Week 18, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler offered up a nugget, saying that Browns Head Coach Kevin Stafanski, who is on the hot seat himself in Cleveland, could be a fit with the Giants should they target him. 

 “Stefanski might be the strongest retread candidate in the eyes of many. The Giants would be an ideal fit,” Fowler stated in his intel piece. “And trades of any kind are never off the table in Cleveland, but it’d be tricky trying to trade a coach who’s 7-26 over the past two years."

This would be a stunning move, especially if either Mike Tomlin or John Harbaugh become available on Monday. It's believed the loser of the Steelers Ravens contest will be out as Head Coach after two decades at the helm. 

If either Tomlin or Harbaugh get loose, they would have plenty of teams willing to bend over backwards for their services. Heck, they might even jump to TV instead for a year and wait if they wanted to. 

Stefanski is a two-time coach of the year himself, and won 44 games in Cleveland. Heck, he even won a playoff game with the Browns, and took them to the divisional round of the playoffs a couple years ago. The guy can coach, but as Fowler stated is 7-26 his last two seasons. 

The Giants job is certainly attractive with a young core led by second year quarterback Jaxson Dart in 2026. Stefanski was known as a quarterback guru during his time in Minnesota as an O.C. so this could be an ideal spot for him.  

It also remains to be seen if the Giants retain GM Joe Schoen, but the thought was that he would be back. 

Buckle up folks.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...

Same Ol' Jets! Gang Green Dropped by Ravens

 RAVENS 24 - JETS 9  In short the opener to the 2022 season for the New York Jets was a complete and utter disaster.  A team that came into the season with the promise of better days ahead, a team that had taken on so many kudos in the off-season for what so many in the media had claimed was an impeccable off-season and draft, came out flat as a pancake when it mattered the most.  If this was a debut of what is to come for the Jets in 2022, you better start preparing your 2023 draft boards.  Sunday's 24-9 loss wasn't just a defeat at the hands of a better team, it was a total indictment of the Jets current predicament.  The Jets offensive line, which has been battered and beaten this summer with the losses of Meckhi Becton and Duane Brown looked like a sieve on Sunday. Joe Flacco, who is not exactly fleet of foot, was under siege all afternoon. The fact he came out of Sunday's game having been sacked only three times was a miracle in itself.  George Fa...
