The guys turn to their second Head Coach spotlight, this time looking at the "other LeFleur" in Rams Offensive Coordinator. Mike LeFleur has coached under Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay and certainly has some pedigree under his belt. With some speculation on Matt Stafford's future in L.A. the Giants could certainly do worse than what would be the best pure talent QB to wear the Giants uniform. It would represent a pivot from a primarily future franchise QB mentality to one of immediate respect and leadership at the position. In John Spytek, current Assistant GM in Tampa, the Giants would create a HC/GM/QB tandem with front office experience in building around a veteran signal caller while navigating the draft and free agency as well.
