The name "Pat Shurmur" still rankles many in this area. There’s little reason it shouldn’t.
During his two-year tenure as Giants coach, his teams won nine of 32 games, were outscored by 153 points (863-710) and at no point rose above .500. His .281 winning percentage is the second worst in club history behind Bill Ansparger (.200 from 1974-76). He also was at the helm for the departure of popular wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and the dethroning of Eli Manning as starting quarterback.
So there won’t be a tribute video or any welcome back banners hung at MetLife Stadium on Sunday when he returns as the Broncos’ offensive coordinator.
