Have the Giants quit on Tom Coughlin?

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.

Pat Yas alludes to this in his latest blog post. A very good read...

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.

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.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
