Giants Deny Dallas Cowboys Permission to Speak to Assistant Coach Andre Patterson​

Patterson is a valuable member of head coach Brian Daboll's staff.

The Dallas Cowboys might have gotten the better of the New York Giants in recent years, so the last thing New York probably wanted to do was give their division rivals any additional advantages.

To that end, the Giants have denied the Cowboy's request for permission to speak with defensive line coach Andre Patterson for an undisclosed position on new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer's staff.

Patterson, who was on Zimmer's Minnesota Vikings staff as their defensive line coach from 2014 to 2019 before gaining additional responsibilities as the Vikings co-defensive coordinator in 2020 and assistant head coach in 2021, is still under contract with the Giants.

What's our recourse? Do we bring the black cat out again?

The last thing the league wants is for our talent to be coached.

 

[Asklesko]

Well that sucks.

He's way fatter than Durde. Would have been a nice upgrade.

Off to a fast start losing this off-season. Can't wait to see what unemployed coach we dredge up from the barn to coach our DL this year



Also, I find it funny that there is all this consternation over our defense when the OL coach is still here. And there's been no indication of a change. Do they think he performed well this year or what?

Makes little sense by the Giants to block this move as they just hired their own new DC who probably wants to add his own staff.

Teams aren't quick to dump assistants because coaches don't know if they can get the ones they want.

If this guy was your target, why didn't you hire Zimmer as an Associate HC and sign this guy as a DC?

Just ask Jerry he'll tell you every great thing he can about our offense and attribute it to our ol coach lol

That's big. Thought with Martindale's departure, there'd be a shot at it.
