No one could've predicted the new-look coaching staff of the New York Giants, or that it would include longtime Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett. Following a lengthy meeting with Giants head coach Joe Judge -- after narrowly missing interviewing for the job himself as top dog -- Garrett is the newest offensive coordinator for Big Blue after being replaced with Mike McCarthy in Dallas, and he is wasting no time bringing in those he knows well.

To that point, the Giants are reportedly expected to hire Marc Colombo, the former Cowboys offensive line coach who was fired during the McCarthy regime change -- per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network -- to fill the same role in New York. The team also recently met with once longtime Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who's interested in returning to the league after sitting out a year following his dismissal by Jerry Jones.

While it remains unclear if Linehan will reunite with Garrett like Colombo is set to, and/or if tight end Jason Witten will decide to do the same, and/or if a fired Cowboys quarterbacks coach in Jon Kitna will soon get a call as well; what is evident is Garrett has Judge's ear when it comes to injecting Cowboys offensive blood into the Giants cardiovascular system.

Good for Marc. I think he makes them better. They are MAYBE the best team offensively in our division. We better sure up our defense and fix our oline.

You can read between the lines and you know Jason is thinking "it is a process". I am a little surprised Judge has not surrounded himself with people he has worked with and or has relationships with. If Judge tanks then Garrett and "his" staff will be ready to take over.

Maybe that was Garrett's plan this past year. Screw up the season so he can go home to NY and manipulate things to get the HCing job there within a couple of years. Well, screwing up 2019 he did perfectly. Got us enough wins to hurt in the draft, and not enough to make the playoffs.
