He wasn't on the original 8 was he?

Not surprised.

Nope.

Yale guy. Seems like a very unlikely candidate.

I'm wondering if it's for HC or just getting a feel for potential DCs?

I'm not really familiar with him. The Giants D didn't seem good last year, but good coaches end up on bad teams, so who knows. There are definitely other options I'd prefer.

Ivy Leaguers stick together, and new Minnesota GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah (Princeton) is a big fan of Patrick Graham (Yale), a 13-year NFL assistant who also interviewed for the #Giants head coaching job.

Skull and Bones shit.

Ugh...this would be a David Culley-esque hire in my opinion. Demeco Ryans and his one year of coordinator experience ten times over this guy

Might as well interview Andre Patterson while they are at it. He's at least been here, done an incredible job, and is deserving of interviewing.

Is this an east coast thing because Mike McDaniel from the 49ers went to Yale.

Yea, not liking this thought-process at all.  Giants have been crap for years and are not real known to be pumping out good coaches.  Is this guy from the Shumur tree or Joe Judge??

I am pulling for Morris or O'Connell at this point.  

This will be Kwesi's first big decision and even this look-see makes me Kwesi.

You can't get a more David Culley career arc than Andre Patterson. They're basically mirror images.

Same.

That Belichick coaching tree bares rotten fruit.

Hard pass.

Patterson's first 16 years in the NFL= DL coach
Culley first 17 years in the NFL = WR coach

Ya'll better get ready for some unconventional thinking. I'd say KAM is more likely to hire his guy based on leadership, strategic and philosophical alignment than whatever his record might have been with a terrible team. There are a thousand different factors that go into that. 
And ya know what? I don't disagree with that approach. The whole idea behind analytics is to look beyond the surface results.

Ok...I'm not advocating for Dre to be head coach but I think he would at least be as deserving or more than this guy from the Giants to interview. I think we could all agree Dre should have gotten the defensive coordinator job over lil Zimm, but we all knew how that was going to go
