So, the Giants not only didn't FIRE Coach Tom Coughlin, but they gave me another year extension??? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Good, because the Giants do nothing will TC but fade every year anyway, so his presence in the NFC East is good news for Eagles fans...
I'm actually kind of stunned though....what did Coughlin do to earn the confidence of the Giants leadership...NOT get blown out on Sunday against the Birds? Wasn't two consecutive late-season fades followed by quick exits from the playoffs enough for NY....with a team with that much talent to play THAT undisciplined down the stretch?
Isn't this year the optimum time for a change...GM Ernie Acorsi is leaving, Tiki is leaving, and Coughlin has done NOTHING to help development the franchise QB that the Giants paid oh-so-dearly for three years ago? And don't be fooled by the extra-year the Mara-Tisch families gave him...he's still got one foot out the door now, as surely as he would if he was entering the final year of his contract....
Why extend him for one year?? Does anyone really think that nominal gesture will change the players perspective of the coach? I mean, look, I know general opinion of the jock I.Q. is pretty low, but come on, these guys have some common sense.
Finally, why not have a coach in a "contract year?" We have players in contract years all the time and never flinch...Heck, most times its referred to reverently as extra-motivation for the player to show his/her worth to prospective employers and not some sword of damacles hovering menacingly over the player....Could not the same mantra be applied to a coach...wouldn't it be worth it to see what Coughlin REALLY has "under the hood" as a coach. As it stands, why lessen your leverage over the coach if you're the owners...all having another year on the contract does is mean that you're going to have to buy him out of the final year next Dec/Jan when the Giants have squandered away yet another season....
