James Bettcher to the Giants

[TJ]

done deal

Good for him. I look forward to seeing some of that soft zone coverage he's patented.

Cards lost a good coordinator
Hopefully they found a better one

Good luck dealing with Wentz & Eagles in that div

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Adios. Never a fan.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm glad Bettcher landed on his feet with the Giants. Pleased to see this hire.

I feel the same way I did when Bowles took the Jets over the Falcons... he chose the wrong team.

Still wish him luck though

Thanks for your input, James.

Titans might have been a better career move. Hope he does well,...hope he does real well and keeps dallas out of the playoffs for years.

I missed Bowles more than I do Bettcher.

For some reason I don’t think the D respected him that much since the NFC championship game vs Carolina.

He had some very mind boggling game plans and poor adjustments.

 

[Arz101]

Cards are likely to get a DC who never called plays or who called plays for one year. Be careful what you wish for season 27625. Fingers crossed.

I’m worried too, we might even hire a DC rookie switching to a 4-3 which will make our D suck for 2-3 years until things start clicking again.

If Bettcher was released I’m sure Wilks already has someone lined up.

SK and MB most likely asked who would Wilks choose as OC and DC during the interview and be ok with it.

So where are the people that said he wouldn't get another job? He wasn't on the market for long.

Oh and he's fat....

He isn't?

 

[Cheesebeef]

All I can say is thank God we didn’t get Shurmur. Wasn’t wowed by him before, even less impressed with this decision.

 

[sdscard4]

Goes to show maybe Shurmer wasn't even a finalist for our coach.

 

[Finito]

Good for him. I hope he does well

or,.. the Cards tried to sell him on keeping Bettcher if they hired him...and they convinced him

Happy to see Bettch get a good gig. If he can handle the pressure of the NY fans and media and show adaptability (the Giants have traditionally been a 43) and stronger half-time adjustments, then he will be worthy of a HC gig when the time is right. The other big if in going to the Giants is the discord and dysfunction on that team. There are several head cases on that defense, particularly in their secondary (Jenoris Jenkins, Eli Apple in particular). if it keeps blowing up, he will likely wish he chose the Titans instead.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I would rather have Shurmur and Bettcher here.

Jurecky one hour earlier said
Bettcher is leaning to the Titans....

Buckley and Gambadoro are other 2 always wrong

Somers still be the best in the business

 

[Ronin]

Good for him and good luck

Probably hanging out with the people that had to have Horton as head coach.

Where is Horton btw? I didn't hear him in any HC interview talk. Probably tearing it up as a great DC somewhere right?

Nothing about this in the NYC dailies.

But sounds like a done deal. Best of luck, JB

I'm not a Bettcher fan. I felt he put in a game plan and stuck to it no matter what was going on. IMO he never made adjustments. I don't see him as a leader.
