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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
