Matt Rhule showed exactly why he was considered such a strong candidate for the Giants’ head coaching job when it was last available.
He spoke about what a special place it was for him to work at when he was a low-level assistant on the staff in 2012 and noted the difficulty of the decision the following year to leave and take the head coaching job at Temple. He name-dropped some organizational insiders such as senior vice president of medical services Ronnie Barnes, reminisced fondly about Eli Manning’s comebacks and genuflected at the statue of Tom Coughlin.
