Speculation swirls around a potential New York Giants<\/a> coaching change following their 2-7 start to the 2025 season under Brian Daboll.<\/p>\n

Former NFL columnist Gary Myers, a keen league observer, tells Big Blue View<\/a> that Bill Belichick would accept the Giants’ head coaching role “in a second” if offered in the offseason, positioning him as a prime candidate on the NFL carousel.<\/p>\n

Belichick’s ties to the Giants are profound and enduring. He joined the organization in 1979 as a special teams assistant under Ray Perkins, climbing to defensive coordinator by 1985 alongside Bill Parcells. In that role, he engineered elite defenses that secured Super Bowl XXI and XXV victories in 1987 and 1991 over Denver and Buffalo, respectively.<\/p>\n

“He loves the Giants. I mean he loves the Giants,” Myers told BBV. “He gets emotional and melancholy reminiscing about his Giant years.”<\/p>\n

A loyalty unshaken despite New England’s Super Bowl losses to Big Blue in 2008 and 2012.<\/p>\n

Now 73, Belichick guides the North Carolina Tar Heels<\/a> through a 3-5 campaign in his debut college season, succeeding Mack Brown. This follows his 24-year Patriots tenure, which delivered six Super Bowl titles, 333 NFL wins — 14 short of Don Shula’s record — and a vast coaching influence.<\/p>\n

“I know that’s important to him, although he’ll never admit that,” Myers said.<\/p>\n

Transitioning back to the pros would necessitate a $1 million buyout from Belichick, feasible post-season.<\/p>\n

“I think Belichick would do it in a second,” Myers maintained, pointing out he wants a Super Bowl ring without Tom Brady.<\/p>\n

Would Giants co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch be open to Belichick, who would likely require additional power currently held by general manager Joe Schoen, returning?<\/p>\n

“I do know that John Mara has a good relationship with Bill. Whether that means he would hire him, I don’t know,” Myers said. “I think that Mara and Steve Tisch would have a long discussion about it, and they’d say, ‘Well, we’re probably only going to get him for three years. It didn’t end well for him in New England. Is that an indication that he’s kind of lost his touch, or the game has passed him by, or any excuse you want to make for not hiring him? Is the girlfriend thing an embarrassment? You know, how would our fans react to that?’<\/p>\n

“But they might also say, looking at all the potential candidates, who gives us the best chance to win, which is what it’s all about. And if he only stays three years, but it can get us in a Super Bowl. Is that worth it?”<\/p>\n

Daboll is trending out in East Rutherford, so the Belichick conversation and speculation will resume again in a few months. Might it come to fruition this time? We’ll see…<\/p>\n
