Trying to work for an erratic owner levels that concept because all they need is a bug up their ass and you're either gone, or you're being forced to compromise in areas where you shouldn't compromise. Look at Shoen right now. Assuming the rumor is true, he goes to NY with the understanding he will be in charge of everything, and immediately the hold up in hiring a HC is that the owner wants Flores and Shoen wants Daboll. If Shoen wants Daboll, it shouldn't be an issue at all. But here he is, allegedly not having the leverage he thought he'd have...just one week in. Therein lies the problem.

If I'm a coach stepping into a likely winning situation and I succeed, then I can write my ticket out. Looking at your bosses is extremely important and at the same time you can't ignore the roster. The Dolphins' Owner and GM might be bad, but their team has recently won. The Giants have different ownership issues and their teams have sucked badly. Couple things: 1. The Fish just did their last head coach dirty in front of the whole world. 2. The NFC East doesn't have Josh Allen or Bill Belichick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would to me (you couldn't pay me enough to deal with NYC, for example). NJ taxes suck. So do NY. As does the NYC press. I listened to Schoen's press conference and there were questions from at least a dozen news outlets -- and most of them were local. That's another major consideration. The Giants spend all their time in NJ, and believe it or not, there are a lot of nice spots in Jersey to live. There's no need to go into NYC often. Though the City isn't bad. It's just different. I've been in Brooklyn for 28 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins' Owner and GM might be bad, but their team has recently won. The Giants have different ownership issues and their teams have sucked badly. I totally get this. I suspect part of my issue is having worked at a company that had a great product, great regional teams, and great mid-level management, and what turned out to be a batschittcrazy micromanaging nutbag as an owner who wasn't smart enough to trust the success of the people around him. Granted, there are only 32 opportunities in this league, but what happened to Flores -- in my eyes -- was all I would need to see to check them off the list. The only upside to what happened is that the rest of the NFL knows Flores isn't to blame. Frankly, I'm stunned he hasn't been hired yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer Dorsey the OC position, give him a raise, and he knows he has Josh Allen as his QB. Would you rather have Josh and the Bills' offense or Daniel Jones and an Oline that really needs to be rebuilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
