If Coughlin Gets Hook, Giants Have Nice Options in '08

Submitted by Mike Nixon, Jul 17, 2007 14:45

If I am Jerry Reese, while it may be nice to speculate, you cannot make decisions based on who might be available. Thus, speculating on Bill Cowher assumes that he wants to resume coaching and that he would want to resume coaching in the fish bowl that is New York. No good GM makes decisions based on speculation. Thus, the idea that the Giants are setting Coughlin up to fail is ridiculous. Reese showed great restraint by not spending foolishly on a poor free agent crop.

I think the Giants are waiting to see if TC will adjust, drop some of his stupid rules, and show a willingness to compromise. That will be the only thing that saves his job. That and winning. Same as it is for everyone else.
