Giants Line Coach Pat Flaherty A Potential Successor For Greg Schiano At Rutgers?

PrintCould the decision by Greg Schiano to bolt Rutgers for the head-coaching job with the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers end up affecting the New York Giants coaching staff? It might if the Star-Ledger is right in speculating that Giants' offensive line coach Pat Flaherty could be on the list of candidates to replace Schiano in Piscataway.
Schiano left Rutgers on Thursday in a move that caught many by surprise. Now, with just a few days until the February 1 National Signing Day for college recruits the Scarlet Knights are scrambling to quickly get a new head coach in place.
Flaherty has been the Giants' offensive line coach since 2004 and has the reputation of being one of the best line coaches in the business.
Flaherty has never been a head coach at the collegiate or pro level, but he did coach in the collegiate ranks from 1980-99 before moving to the NFL. He coached the offensive line at Rutgers from 1984-1991.
There have been no indications yet that Rutgers has contacted the Giants about Flaherty, or that the school has set up interviews with any candidates. It is, however, something to keep in mind.

That would make me sad.
nywins42 needs a new screen name - "nywins46" sounds great!
Just ordered FatHeads for all available Giants. Now I have something to aim at when punching holes in my wall.
Succesful teams, ones that make it to the SB, usually...
Lose some of their staff. Fox, Spag most recent. Sucks, people just want winners. That said, I hope he stays. I want SU to get back into recruiting from NJ again
Do we need these distractions before the game?!?!

We need line help as all of the world knows.
Can’t blame him if he does though.
Unless he is good enough to eventually be GMen OC and HC.
I don’t know about his leadership but his work with the battered OL has be nothing but terrific over the last two years.
All the Giants should play like Mark Bavaro.
TQ, DD and KMac Must Go!
TC, PF, KG, will stay but should go for the long term good.
It is equally worthless when people are always optimistic or always pessimistic. Either way I take their opinion with a pound of salt because I know they only have one setting. I post my own thoughts, not what either side wants to read.

Theyll know as soon as he walks in the door and says
“Alright boys, lesson one: How to Continually Suck but Keep Your Job. With this, I hope to guide you to an 0-12 record, while still picking up a raise at the end of the year”
Eli Manning is the opposite of Lebron James. If you ask Lebron for change for a dollar, he only gives you 75c because he doesnt have a fourth quarter. When Eli asks for change, he only takes one quarter because thats all he's gonna need.

in Quinn's defense
the special teams have been OK this year. Far from spectacular but they also aren’t losing games for us.
by Slappinfaces on Jan 27, 2012 10:29 AM EST up reply actions
they're better because the Gianits hired an assistant ST coordinator.
Larry Izzo. Izzo was one of the best ST players
Jacobs to Eli: You're a beast, man. I can't say that enough!
Is that statement for real.
Because I noticed the ST played better than last season. Not great but better. If only we could get a good return man
^^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to argue that Manning is a) not a great quarterback or b) not the best quarterback in franchise history your credibility is automatically shot.

As said above
good coaches/assistants on winning teams get looked at for head coaching jobs in both college and the pros i.e. Spags getting interview requests during the lead up to SB 42.
Stinks but you can’t hold these guys back forever. Flaherty has been a great coach on this team for a number of years. But it wants to live his dream of being a HC. Good luck to him

We dont want him to leave but it is good for him. He may return to us later as OC who knows.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I doubt it happens
he has no HCing experience at any level. He’s never been a coordinator.
Jacobs to Eli: You're a beast, man. I can't say that enough!
The article read like they needed a potl replacements article
Dug up some names and threw em on the wall.
How many guys with no exp as a HC, no exp as a coordinator, is over the age of 50,gets hired for a fairly major college head coaching post?
Notre Dame hired Weis who was a red hot coordinator, and that ended poorly.
Eli is our King!
Bitter-sweet
On the one hand, Rutgers is trying to take Pat from my Giants. On the other hand, Schiano leaving for Tampa opens the door for Nebraska to recruit the QB Fuller from NJ, who was thought to have Nebraska and Rutgers as his top 2 schools. I hope it plays out well for both my teams.

Just the SuperDome
Against the Saints…
The advantage of a dome is to allow speed to fly without worry of field conditions, so it gives speed an advantage. NE doesn’t have speed with the exception of Gronk and Hernandez so it shouldn’t benefit them more. In New Orleans, their speed is accentuated but it was negated more in the outdoor conditions of San Fran

Saints do everything with speed
And their turf seems to play faster than other turf. Plus Brees nt exactly a strong armed QB, so no breeze makes it easier to throw those loopy bombs. Toss in their D is based on speed and blitzing, and the noise in that place It’s a ridiculous home field edge. You saw how good they can be even in SF, but they can’t control the game the way they do in NO.
When we had LT and Haji Sheikh / Allegre kicking big FGs, the Meadowlands was a huge advantage for us in December.
It is what it is.
Eli is our King!
well this is kinda what happens no?

Off topic: Newest from pats fan on covering Cruz
Edelman may not be as bad a Cruz matchup as you think…
I honestly believe that on Edelman matches up against Cruz pretty well. Cruz isn’t significantly taller or stronger than Edelman is (6’/204lbs – 5’10/198lbs) and while it may be hard to believe, Cruz doesn’t beat Edelman by much in the speed department (4.49 40 – 4.52 40). Furthermore, Cruz isn’t particularly known for his hands, so Edelman doesn’t exactly need to have impeccable coverage to have a chance at stopping him. Where Cruz does kill teams is with his quickness and agility, which are arguably Edelman’s best traits. Physically, I see no reason Edelman can’t stay step for step with Cruz, at least long enough to force Manning to throw elsewhere or get hit trying.
LOL
So he is saying
Edelman is better then
