The Giants dropped to 2-7.

That moment was 11 years ago. Posey played six more seasons, retired and became the Giants’ president of baseball operations. Vitello became University of Tennessee’s head coach, turned the Vols into a collegiate powerhouse, and now is making the unprecedented leap from collegiate head coach to major-league manager.

The New York Giants play host to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in a battle of teams missing multiple star players on both sides of the ball. New York lost not just the game but an important piece of the puzzle last week against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles as rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a dislocated ankle that will knock him out for the remainder of the season.
