The Giants had a great GM in George Young (until he lost his fastball).  After Young, they had Earnie Accorsi, who was a good but not great GM.  Jerry Reese started off hot (with a great 2007 draft), but he drove the team into the ground.  David Gettleman was a complete disaster, and the verdict is still out on Schoen.

The Giants hit paydirt with Bill Parcells, but they followed that with the disaster that was Ray Handley.  Dan Reeves was a pretty good head coach, but he liked to play GM, which he was not good at.  He was followed by Jim Fassel, who wasn't horrible but was a bit flawed.  The Giants hit paydirt again with Tom Coughlin.   Since Coughlin, it has been a merry-go-round of failed head coaches Ben McAdoo, Pat Shurmur, and Joe Judge.  The verdict on the current HC, Brian Daboll, is still out.

The Giants hit on Phil Simms.  When the Giants cut Simms, they went with failed Dave Brown.  As Brown was released, you had Kannel and Kent Graham.  The Giants found a solid one in Kerry Collins. The Giants upgraded from Collins with Eli Manning.   Since Manning's retirement the Giants have had Daniel Jones.


So, which position have the Giants had the most struggles finding a solid candidate?

Dru Phillips is working at nickel. #NYGiants  did not even bounce him outside on the first day of rookie camp.
I believe he is going to be the starting nickel as a rookie, as I was told by people in the organization when he was drafted.

Smart people around the league view nickel as important as boundary corner.

They might not pay that spot as such right now, but it's gonna hit soon, and Phillips embraces it.

Short of the team or the employee explaining, there is no way to know.  Many titles are not standardized.

I also applaud the weight loss.  I mean, head coaches preach discipline and care for one's body all the time (to his players)...
