Giants fans should hope Pete Carroll goes to Atlanta
Why?
Because if he doesn't - and the vibe we're getting is that Carroll is just flirting with Arthur Blank and won't take the plunge - then there's a good chance the Giants will lose defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
There are indications that Eagles general manager is the leading contender to land the GM job in Atlanta if Carroll doesn't come aboard as coach and director of football operations. Heckert is known to favor Spagnuolo, who worked as the Eagles' linebackers coach before joining the Giants this season.
The Falcons were denied permission by the Giants to speak with Spagnuolo this week, but it's believed Spagnuolo will be interested in at least an interview with Atlanta once the Giants' playoff run is over.
Of course, Spagnuolo may look at the chaos going on in Atlanta right now and ultimately be skittish about working for the organization. And the Giants will certainly make it worth Spagnuolo's while to stay at least another season.
Either way, Giants fans ought to watch the Carroll situation closely.

nice use of the word "skittish"
Glad you noticed. I used it on purpose - kind of like a "Where's Waldo" - for those sharp enough to get it.
Well done, Karlos.
