The New York Giants have their next head coach in former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.
It was a thorough selection process, and general manager Dave Gettleman strongly believes that Shurmur is the right person for the job because of his maturity to handle the mental rigors that come with the territory.
From Calvin Watkins of Newsday:
“He’s an adult,” Gettleman said. “He’s mature. He’s got wisdom. He’s very even-keeled and his demeanor really pays off. I’ve watched him on the sidelines. He doesn’t get shook. He doesn’t get rattled. This is a job for a grownup. We’re halfway through the interview, and I wrote down in my notes, ‘This is an adult.’ Everybody wants the next wiz-bang kid. Let me tell you something: You look at history and see how that’s worked out. This is a veteran, seasoned professional football coach.”
