Coughlin Watch Begins

Now that the Giants got bounced out of the playoffs. . . Playoffs? Playoffs? the Giants are set to determine whether or not to make a coaching change. Running the most bland offensive ever, player discontent, lack of discipline, and huge numbers of penalities have lead to Coughlin getting a lot of heat from the media and his own players. Word inside the orgainzation is that a decision will be released by at least Thursday. All signs point to the Giants deceding to make a move as Coughlin declined to do his Monday Post Game Press Conference. The most intresting rumor on his possible successor is Norm Chow, current offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans who has a reputation for making great quarterbacks in order to help the development of Eli.

In other news concerning Giants player development, current General Manager Ernie Acorsi is retiring in a matter of months also leaving the Giants with a vacant general manager position. Thought is they may hold off on nameing a new coach until picking a new GM so that he can have some imput. Looks like the Giants may go in house and promote Jerry Reese since sadly the Giants number one candidate, Scott Pioli, declined an interview for the promotion from the vice president of player personell with the New England Patriots. Also rumored for the job is NFL analysist Stephen Major Perkins. At least he has not denied intrest yet. However the even more intresting rumor is that Pioli's father in law, the Big Tuna himself, has floated his name to the team because of his desire to move on from coaching and into a GM position. (partly to get away from TO.) I for one would love to see him return to the organization in any possible connection. His impute on the Patriots draft gave the Patriots most of the core players that won Belichick three super bowls.
