When the possibility of the Cowboys parting ways with Jason Garrett started to get serious traction, there was also speculation of where he might go in that eventuality. One of the destinations brought up was the New York Giants considering Garrett had played there for a few years in the early 2000’s. Of course, for that to even be considered the Giants would have to part ways with Pat Schumer, which they did.
Still, there was one big hurdle to Garrett getting consideration from the Giants and that was Matt Rhule. Ever since they fired Schumer, Rhule has been the number one option for the Giants; he was the guy they desperately wanted.
