In the NFL, there are smart people with legitimate processes who can defend their decision making by pointing to a previous history of success. Then, there are coaches who piggyback off the idea that everyone must have some kind of mystical process, and believe that by referencing such a thing it negates the need for any direct criticism.
Since Joe Judge’s arrival as coach of the Giants, we have been kept at an arm’s length from understanding his process. We only knew that he had one, or thought that he had one. He sold himself as a teacher, a from-the-roots culture changer who could clean a lot of those hard-to-reach places that the franchise had left cobwebbed since the halcyon days of Tom Coughlin.
