Retaining Coughlin wasn't a bad idea, considering the pool of coaches available wasn't going to be great. The Giants were not a bad team; they had a lot of injuries. However, Giants had a lot of turnovers, with Eli throwing 25 interceptions. Do you guys think there will be a lockout in the NFL, or will things be alright in time for next season? Of course, this would become a bigger issue once the Super Bowl is over, but warrants some attention. | ||

Tom Coughlin 137-110-0 Anyone who says there isn't a big difference between the two coaches is the one who doesn't know football. I suggest you study up, and then come back. Coughlin has had identical problems with two teams, it's not because of the teams, it's because of him. When variables change, and yield the same results, it's the constant that is causing the problem, not the variables. By the way, is your enter key broken? It's really hard to read walls of text like that. To be fair, as well, Eli threw a lot of those picks in some games that were already lost. He threw like four more than were needed vs GB, when the game was already all but over. | ||

When variables change, and yield the same results, it's the constant that is causing the problem, not the variables. Coughlin 8-6 in the playoffs vs Cowhers 12-9. Big difference ... right. Coughlin's record with the giants is 65-47 .580 Cowher's is what you posted... .620... Big difference again... right. The Giants have never finished last in the NFC east. They've consistently been a decent team. Look at teams in the NFL with consistency - they have longevity with their coaching staff. What's there to gain in picking up Cowher? Nothing. You really think Cowher can gel with Eli manning? Eli will be crying by midseason - and if he isn't itll look like he is from all of Cowher's spit. Not to mention Cowher will probably be an even bigger salary hit because he's already got a gig with CBS and you're pulling him out of retirement. I know my "research" - thanks kid. | ||

A .04 difference is pretty big when you look at the number. If it's 6 or 10, then it's not, but when it's 161-99 and 137-110 then it is. We're talking .4 over 200+ games each. Consistently decent does not cut it in the NFL these days. | ||

I forget when the stretch was in the late 90's when the Steelers were absolutely terrible. Last or close to it 3-4 years straight. The giants have had 10 win seasons for the better part of Coughlin's stay, and if he coached there for the 15 years or whatever Cowher did at Pittsburgh, it would be right around the same thing. I'd like to know too what it is about Cowher's coaching style would make him better in New York. Is he going to solve their WR injuries or make sure another top tier WR doesn't shoot himself in the leg? Is he going to make Osi be the d-lineman he was in 2007? Maybe make Eli worth half of what he's being paid after winning the SB? I don't see it at all, and I don't think you can justify it either. | ||
