The day is January 22, 2018. On this day, the New York Giants made a decision that would see them to seven total wins over 29 games. What happened on that day? They hired Pat Shurmur, former Cleveland Browns head coach, and Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator.
When the move happened, some were excited about the potential of Shurmur grooming a young quarterback that was inevitably in the Giants’ future and helping Eli Manning reach his potential after years of mediocrity. For the most part, Shurmur has done a good job helping rookie passer Daniel Jones develop, despite a severe fumbling issue.
