Have the Giants quit on Tom Coughlin?

[Kevin Greene]

The last 2 games the Gaints have been blown out by a combined score of 85-16.

After the 2006 season's poor performance and player discontent the Giant organization hesitantly brought Coughlin back for another try. That year the Giant Wild Card team got hot and swept there way to an improbable Super Bowl win over the heavily favored Patriots.

Since then it's been a one and done in the playoffs (as they have their other 2 earlier playoff appearances under Coughlin) followed by this season's major disappointment.

Are the Giants ready for a head coaching change?

And who might be a perfect fit?

I think after we beat them and knocked them out of the playoffs, they lost their fire. Unlike the Panthers, we have been out of the playoff picture for weeks, so we were playing for pride. They didn't have time to get over it and move on. I guess we will see how they handle that disappointment next year. I'm pretty sure Coughlin bought a few years of goodwill win the SB appearance/win, but being in NY that won't last as long as it does in Carolina.

Dude, Jangler, a long thought out post. I'm impressed.

John Fox.

Remember, Fox was defensive coordinator in New York before he took the Carolina job. He's a darling of the New York fans, media and ownership. Sure, Richardson is very close with Giants ownership and this could be a delicate situation. But Richardson's created the situation, and there's no doubt he gave extensive thought to every scenario and is prepared for every possibility.

If New York got Fox, we would get picks and everyone would think Richardson is the greatest owner ever...until he wins a SB with them.

Maybe John could have a good sit down and laugh with Peppers.

Fox would drive the NY media insane within a week.

This is a good read. They also said this on Sportscenter. Also, that the Bills would 'love' to have him. I think if they are looking at Cowher already, they could easily get Fox for a cheaper price. If they offer a long-term deal to him, he's gone.

Looks like maybe we will have a first rounder afterall boys!

Only if he's losing. If he's winning they'll think he's sage.

They'd all be jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge.

I wonder if he'll get the Shanahan treatment, given how close he's been to being gone before.
