Tom Coughlin out in NY

[Victor7]

Its official now

If anything thank you Tom for handing the ****ing Patriots 2 Super Bowl defeats. Including the awesomeness that was ruining their beloved perfect season.

**** the Pats for life !

[Thurmal]

Tom and the Giants did the Lord's work those two games.

[Bill Cody]

I'd take Coughlin over Rex all day

[sukie]

Is Tom old enough to be considered for a consulting role?

[Joe Fo Sho]

So would I.

Fun fact though - Rex has made it to the playoffs more times in the last 7 years than Coughlin has and he only has 1 more regular season loss in that span.

Tom apparently still wants to coach, just thought it was time for he and the Giants to part ways.

If that is true, I don't see how he doesn't take one of the current vacancies.

[Woodman]

All the best to a real fighter!!

Tom Terrific!!

There are a few GM gigs as well. A new GM in Miami might look at a Coughlin Or perhaps Cleveland.

This probably makes more sense.

Not to him I'll bet. TC is a COACH

[DynaPaul]

Way to thank the guy for his titles.

I don't think he was being shown the door. My guess is that after several close, late-in-the-game losses due to poor play calls, he decided that it was time to leave the coaching ranks.

[swiper]

Rumors are that he would still consider coaching elsewhere.

Remember that in the last few years that he struggled, not only was Eli erratic much of the time, but Coughlin had a coule of guys that we know quite well forced on him as coordinators: Kevin Gilbride and Perry Fewell. Both who are know for, well, not being very good. Both were fired in Buffalo and then NY.

[Night Train]

Gilbride was not fired in NY. He retired on his own.

Coughlin 19-29 the last 3 years. That division was for the taking and they folded bad.

Kevin Gilbride retires as NY Giants offensive coordinator before he can be fired (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/gilbride-set-retire-giants-o-coordinator-article-1.1564719)
LOL. Yes. Technically he did retire. He was about to get canned.


Amid speculation that he could be fired, Gilbride - dubbed 'Killdrive' by Giants fans - says he's finally ready to step away from the game after nearly 39 years in football.

I can think of no better personification of the word "Coot" than Tom Coughlin.

Hell of a coach too.

[DynaPaul]

I can think of a few teams that would love to have to him. He's a good football guy that knows how to coach. San Francisco could probably fix their Harbaugh mistake by hiring him.
