kurtsimonw Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Coughlin has to be up there as one of the greatest Giants in the Super Bowl era. On the staff for 1 Super Bowl win, head coach for 2 more. I'm glad he never really got fired and it was more of a mutual thing, he deserved that at the very least.

kkr Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 He should have been begged to stay on. McAdoo and Spags to interview for the position. Gase too. MEH! Coughlin On Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdomlahor Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Nothing in it. He was laughing and smiling with Mara before the conference apparently. I think he probably just wanted to leave the room as quick as possible due to the emotions. Edited January 5, 2016 by abdomlahor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Yeah probably right there, especially having just addressed Eli in the way he did. Jerry Reese Presser Edited January 5, 2016 by kkr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Eagles to interview McAdoo, pleeaase go to Philly. I'd rather not keep boy wonder and his 30th ranked redzon offense at all, forget as HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hue Jackson signed for the Browns before even getting on a plane to come speak to the Giants! Not looking good, we are probably killing time before the inevitable hiring of McAdoo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) It doesn't look great on Mara and Tisch. Seems like he might not have felt wanted enough here. That or he might have got more control over the roster in Cleveland. Can't see any other reasons why he'd choose a shitshow like the Browns over possibly the most stable coaching job in the league.

abdomlahor Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 McAdoo to be confirmed Head Coach apparently, with rumours that Joe Philbin might be coming in as OC. Could've been worse I suppose. Eagles were ready to hire him apparently. Kurt will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkr Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Not against the move considering what was out there. There is also no denying that the offense has improved a great deal the past two seasons. I would say redzone struggles are down to the lack of a big receiver and also a woeful running game. Improve RT, TE and a solid complimentary possession receiver on offense and we might be in a very strong position. Offense already well inside top 10 or even top 5 in most passing categories. Like Sullivan to OC, he has been good as QB coach and his year in Tampa as OC went well too. McAddo to call plays for now, let's see. Philbin as assistant HC and QBs is a decent appointment too. Similar role in Green Bay with McCarthy when winning a SuperBowl. I would have kept Coughlin based on what was available, but he vouched for McAdoo going out the door so ok let's get to it! Biggest issue now is improving the defense for Spags as it was about as bad as I have seen last season. See if Spags is still up to it also.

abdomlahor Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Sullivan is an interesting. Seems like they're just all in on making Eli as comfortable as possible which is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Really awful news. McAdoo did something amazing last year, that's somehow creating one of the leagues worst red zone offense with Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. Didn't think it was possible The only positive is that Eli doesn't have to learn a other offense. The only positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 He did lose two of our top redzone targets in Donnell and Fells, and the running game wasn't great either with the injuries on the line and a rookie left tackle. I don't think the running back by commitee helped it either to be honest. It should've been better yes but he's already shown that he can be solid in the redzone. We were a top 10 team in that area the year before if I recall correctly. I'm pretty happy with the appointment, especially considering who else we could've ended up with.

kkr Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Philbin to the Colts and not us! Well that was short lived. Looks like there will be a shakeup of position coaches as a number have moved on already including Larry Izzo sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
