I don't expect everyone to agree with Allen's hiring. But come on, Vinny was terrible in certain aspects and Allen has had success as a general manager. At least let the guy come in and start working before you start pissing all over him.

I don't think anyone is pissing on him. There is nothing wrong with looking at his past record so we know what we are getting. Some of us know very little about the guy, so looking at his past is the first step in learning about him. If some are making opinions about Allen's past or voicing their own opinions about his being hired here, that is not a bad thing.

Offensive linemen in every draft. I'll take it.

Also, take note HOW MANY picks they had. Completely opposite as our usual 5 total picks with Vinny.

I can't help but think the way the team's playing right now along with this positive news, that the Giants want to come here Monday night with the playoffs on the line.

I think we're gonna be fired up big time.

Just gotta chime in on this one. Awesome!!!!

(How sad is it that the biggest news in skins-land since JGG came back is that Vinny finally got the ax? But whatever. I'll take it!)

I'm sure this has been suggested but Bruce Allen pretty much guarantee's Chuckie as our next head coach, right?

Not necessarily, but of course his name is going to be at the top of the rumor mill based on their relationship.

Oh dear, another 10 years of misery to look forward to.

diehardskin2982 · 12-17-2009, 11:40 AM

Great news!!! I met Allen while he was in Oakland and he is a great guy. People don't realize he also drafted Nnamdi Asomugha in Oakland.

SmootSmack · 12-17-2009, 11:42 AM

Allen and Gruden are very close (they watch football games together up here). But it's not like that's the only coach Allen has ties to

bigdaddy2348 · 12-17-2009, 11:42 AM

Is this a prelude to Gruden leaving the booth and coaching Washington.

12thMan · 12-17-2009, 11:51 AM

Here we go. So let's parse through every single player drafted under Allen and come to conclusions about his qualifications.

Yeah, let us go ahead and give this guy a chance and not assume draft fail right off the bat. As long as he can Danny Boy from playing fantasy football we should be good. I actually expect with this hiring that the head coach will have more to do with guys we bring in. Lets give him a chance.

Anyone who is not optimistic about anyone else being an upgrade over Vinny is insane. Allen has taken two struggling franchises to Super Bowls. Vinny has taken a proud, winning team into the dumpster.

I agree...let him do his thing and repair this team too. I bet his draft will focus on the offensive line, something that Vinny failed to do year after year. If Vinny stayed, we'd probably be downgrading QB by drafting one and loading the roster up with 8 RBs while ignoring the line again in the upcoming draft.

The new head coach will have his say in personnel as well, so Allen is just one piece of the puzzle. (I stole that from SS, I think)
