Marred in a years-long slump since their last Super Bowl win in 2011, the Giants have struggled both in letting go of the past and embracing the future. For the second time in just three years, the franchise has fired a head coach in search of the ultimate solution.
Pat Shurmur was hired after a short but tumultuous run under Ben McAdoo in 2018. Formerly the Vikings offensive coordinator during the “Minnesota Miracle” and the rise of Case Keenum, Shurmur was thought to have both the head coaching experience and offensive polish desired of a team that was hoping to both maximize Eli Manning’s remaining years and build the foundation for his successor.
