Good for James. Hopefully, Giant fans will be kinder to him than Hawk “fans” were to his brother….

I’m sure he’ll get the response he earns, just like his brother

I think only Iowa fans would have been as nice to his brother for so long as they were. A lot of other places would have been so much worse.

I'm sure the last name had nothing to do with being able to break into coaching with your first ever coaching job...not as a high school assistant, not as a college position coach, but as an NFL assistant. Surely that happens every day to people who want to coach in the NFL.

Cheers to nepotism continuing to be the way of the land.

Look across the NFL and college, heck, other industries, it's not isolated to Iowa City.

That's the way the world works bro. Look no further than politicians and how their kids magically get into the Ivy League schools or West Point.

And it's no different than Iowa farm kids piggy backing off their fathers and grandfathers success. The land is handed down from the blood, sweat & tears from their forefathers. How can anyone not already in farming start a farm? Did those farm kids earn it or was it handed to them? Sure they were forced to wake up in the early AM and feed the hogs & spend time on the tractor... But if their daddy wasn't there & his daddy before him, what would this kid do... go the bank and ask for a loan for 500 acres & $1.5 million in equipment to run the farm? Nope, it's nepotism as well.

Just saying, a lot of farm kids are born on third base as well as successful coaches kids... ANF.

Makes sense.

Kirk mentioned in his PC yesterday that he had met with Charlie Bullen from the Giants just that morning.

Charlie was OLB coach at Illinois in '23 and was recently hired by the Giants. in the same coaching position for '24.

Wonder why he was in town?

Football is very fraternal, and Kirk has quite a bit of influence.

James has been basically a player/coach for the last few years on the Patriots. I consider this a good hire for the Giants.

Yes he does. He got the entire NFL to pass on Wadley!

What about the CFL? XFL? Arena league? Did he ever play any pro football?

Yeah, apparently Kirk has some influence over those organizations as well.

How many years until he is Iowa’s Offensive Coordinator?

Never heard a bad word about James. He is very well liked by everyone I know who knows him. They speak very highly of his character. Good for him!

If there are two things people in NY/NJ are known for it is kindness and understanding.
