The New York Giants again have the most impressive athletes in the NFL.
Jerry Reese is the General manager who has to accept this coach that has absolutely made every season of his tenure a nerve wracking experience and then , again, had to replace the roster losses with a equal or superior player.
Now he must continue to endure the incredibly curious “offensive” decisions of ….”Terrible Tom Coughlin”!
Yes I said it before and with infinitely more conviction I say it now!…Nice guy, father figure maybe…Loser Coach!
Coughlin is the only “NFL COACH” who would have the ball, 1st and 10 on the 5 yard line in the first pre-season game and choose to pass on first, second , and third downs with a plethora of running backs grinding their teeth with eagerness to blast into the end zone . The result, predictably enough, sets the table for the Giants new season. A field goal..frustration for running backs, disappointment from Quarterbacks and fans.
This again was followed by total undue stress on the defensive component and always the fans.
Typical Coughlin?…Absolutely!
Now we are looking at game #3 of the season after having lost the first 2. We have also lost players through injury and attrition as usual. We must include “braindead” decisions offered as excuses along with player blame.
We have lost any real hope for success for this season…without miracles aplenty. We have lost years of our lives and athlete purity. We have lost the “fruitful” years of our youth . We have kept Tom Coughlin…Why ?
How or what do we the NY Giant fan, player, or management owe Tom Coughlin? Mr. Mara may feel protective about TC and loyalty is fine but loyalty to fans and players come first.
Every one has to go sooner or later…. one way or the other. Why is Tom still here? Your job record or capability of job success usually determines possession of same job. His record, except for miraculous wins including 2 Super Bowls over 10 years absolutely sucks.
His legendary ability to show a infantile loss of control in critical moments is not a compliment or what a recruiter would ask for in a new candidate. It is, however, a most valid negative indicator according to valid medical professionals. His job planning and approach may be understandable but being a “relic” and being “understood” by your opponent is not what a winning team, Army, or player would want….if a team could be a winner with that obvious handicap.
Which easily explains the results..of the Giant games. The Giants have players like no other team in the league and Tom doesn’t have a clue what to do with them. Losses could be heavy this year. Players cannot be replaced as easily as coaches although good coaches are hard to find..
Other Coaches must be given an opportunity to coach the Giants while we still have a team or other great athletes of today! Our time is now…..?
Injuries are mounting.
I have pointed out examples from years past until now.. Tom Coughlin is the same old dude from 30 years ago..Every one and their game has changed profoundly but not Tom.
The hits Eli takes are an insult to his ability be a quarterback. This is do to a total lack of proper planning,strategy, preparation and understanding of today’s game. Tom eerily continues to expose Eli to career peril due to this personal flaw and weakness unnecessarily.
Perry Fewell is not Steve Spagnuolo, who saved Tom Coughlin’s toasted buns in’07 but being on the same page with your staff helps too, I’d bet.
Now, no one is on the same page as Coughlin obviously, and with a depressing frequency, more an more. Dementia has begun! Yes!
Most importantly, some wonderful athletes have never played for another professional COACH in their NFL careers! Does Eli and Cruz or Hicks and JPP, Tuck only get to be led by Tom Coughlin..That really smells badly.
Really bad the more one breathes..Ugh!
At this time , except for scarcely few moments, Coughlin always blames others. Players have to be destroyed. Teams and fan base get to be decimated while this” senior citizen”, whose heritage is totally suspect, gets to blame others for his consistent malfunctions while standing on their careers and futures to embellish his very own mediocre history.
Boxers often don’t know when to quit….too bad they cannot be fired before it is too late?
This extended ….period.. is truly adding insult to injury.
He has easily destroyed the careers of a minimum of 30 excellent football players in his 10 years with the Giants (3 py) and six(6) other potentially winning teams.
The players of today need the opportunity to play for another coach.
Any other coach would be held totally accountable, many times over. except Tom Coughlin..
Only Tom Coughlin??? Why not him?……What!!!.Jimmy Johnson for the money, Lou Saban …more money?…Too bad , Pete Carroll is on a roll. ..Bill Belichick..with a 6th rd. draft choice? Tom Brady always sticks in my craw.
Good Coaching wins….. Cowher waits..
