Quote:What changed in their football operation because of a fumble?
George Young was hired as the Giants G.M. A few months later, Young drafted QB Phil Simms in Round 1. Young hired Ray Perkins as the Giants HC. Bill Parcells was the Defensive Coordinator on Ray Perkins staff with the Giants. After Perkins left for Alabama to replace the late Paul ' Bear' Bryant, Parcells was named Giants HC. Three seasons later, the Giants, led by Parcells, Simms, and of course a tremendous Defense that Young largely put together ( OLB Lawrence Taylor was their # 1 pick in 1981 ), the Giants beat the Broncos to win the Super Bowl. Four seasons later, the Giants beat the Bills to win their 2nd Super Bowl. For the most part, since the George Young era began in 1979, the Giants have been one of the most successful NFL teams,
