The sins of the former coaches are being visited upon Pat Shurmur, and there is nothing he can do about it.
This is the fifth time in the past six years the Giants have started 0-2. Only 2018 can be pinned on Shurmur. Last year’s 0-2 start devolved into 0-5, and Shurmur said he is “trying to grow away from that’’ when asked if he fears thoughts of a reprise creeping into the minds of the holdovers on his team. He did not inherit the loan, but it sure seems as if Shurmur already owes money he never spent.
