Brutal loss. I don't know how we only handed the ball to Jacobs 13 times. This is easily the best he's looked in a game. I'm getting kind of frustrated with the play calling, I feel like Gilbride is falling in love with that shotgun formation.

Rouse finally getting the start at saftey. Not sure what took this long because CC Brown was blowing coverage like crazy

Blown field goal, penalties, lousy play-calling(offense and defense) - horrible, just fucking horrible.

Giants are in serious trouble, with a killer schedule.

Like Coach Parcells said, you are what your record says you are.

 

[jeffx]

i dont understand why we were blitzing so many people and also having Justin Tuck cover Gates

Is there any way to bring Spags back?

 

[Rayman]

just wait come december

Rate you're going, you'll be out of it by then.

Giants proving me right the more time passes by after that little fluke of theirs.

Last season they were 12-4 with a brutal schedule, before injuries and the Plax mess. No fluke there.

LOL were here it's just that noone posts in this thread. Trust me no one has given up yet, we need to worry bout this Panther game and we can't take this team lightly. Go Giants!

You were saying?

Well Sheridan's gone......we still have tons more to fix though, he was only part of the problem.....there were times the offense also disappeared, play calling was spotty

I was reading that Pierce may not be back as well

Reese said Phillips is doing well in his recovery from the knee injury

Half of the team is getting surgery done.....what did Couglin infamously say in his first year here, injuries are a cancer? well consider us terminally ill

 

[Palooza]

I'm not going to be happy if Gilbride moves on to Oakland. Having to replace two coordinators is not going to be pleasant.

Any of you guys know who the Giants are interested in for the D coordinator job yet?

 

[Juggernaut]

I dont think they have anyone in mind yet, officially anyway

Here's the list of names from Vach

• Bob Sutton, Jets LBs coach — He is the target of Coughlin’s search, according to a report today in the National Football Post and he certainly looks like an ideal Coughlin candidate. The 58-year-old is a former Army coach (and we know Coughlin loves people with a military background). He was the LBs coach at Syracuse when Coughlin was the QBs coach there in 1974. He’s been a defensive coordinator (with the Jets from 2006-08). And he’s done a good job with the Jets LBs, who anchor the No. 1 defense in the NFL.

• Dick Jauron, former Bills/Bears coach — He’s been offered this job once before, but turned it down (One person told me he’s actually been offered it and turned it down twice). But according to a source close to Jauron, this time he might be interested. He was Coughlin’s defensive coordinator in Jacksonville from 1995-98.

• Kirk Olivadotti, Redskins LBs coach — I’m not sure yet if he’s actually on the radar, or whether people close to him just want him to be on the radar now that most of the Redskins staff is about to be out of work. He’s been their LBs coach since 2000, but has no coordinator experience and no ties (that I can tell) to Coughlin. He’s only 36, which might play to his advantage if Coughlin wants some youthful exuberance. He’s tied to the organization by his father, Tom, who was once a Giants assistant coach.

• Dom Capers, Packers defensive coordinator — He was on Coughlin’s wish list in 2007 when Spagnuolo got the job, but Capers spurned his old boss and took a $2 million-plus salary from Green Bay instead. Could Coughlin make another run at his old Jaguars coordinator (1999-2000)? Maybe. I have no idea if Capers would want to leave the Packers, nor do I have any idea if his contract will be up when the Packers are done. What I do know is Coughlin would have to convince ownership to pay him at least $2 million per season, they might have to consider naming him Coughlin’s eventual successor, and they’d have to switch to a 3-4 defense. Some people seem to think the latter is a possibility. I’m skeptical, unless they change a lot of personnel.

• George Edwards, Dolphins LBs coach — His name was reported elsewhere yesterday. He’s about to turn 42, so he’s youth on his side, and he has defensive coordinator experience, having run the Redskins D in 2002-03 (he was an assistant D-coordinator his first year). In 2002, one of his starting linebackers was … wait for it … Jessie Armstead, who now works for the Giants.

Other names I’ve heard in the last 24 hours - - mostly as speculation, and mostly from outside of the Giants organization:

Redskins secondary coach Jerry Gray; Former Bills interim coach Perry Fewell (Coughlin’s DBs coach in Jacksonville from 1998-2002); Former Saints coach and Rams defensive coordinator Jim Haslett; Patriots D-line coach (and former Giants LB) Pepper Johnson.

UPDATE: One other name worth mentioning is Romeo Crennel, the former Giants assistant, former Patriots defensive coordinator and former Browns head coach. I omitted him because reports suggested he was likely headed to Kansas City to become the Chiefs’ defensive coordinator. I’m hearing now that might not happen. I don’t know if he’s in the mix for the Giants, but he’s certainly worthy of consideration.

damn, i didnt see that page when i searched

Itd be interesting if jauron got the job

 

[jeffx]

Thank you Giants, for officially ruining my Christmas vacation - I haven't been this pissed since the 49er playoff game. We had a nice two-year run(SB title, 12-4 the following year), but now it's time to back up the truck and clean house. Defense/O-Line needs a complete overhaul. I'm so glad Mr. Mara canned Sheridan's ass - Gilbride should go to.

New Giants DC is Perry Fewell who was expected to go to Chicago in that same role and was even a candidate for the Bills HC job.

Below is an article talking about him as a coach

Thought for sure he was your guy.

Who's left? I don't think you guys have the parts to switch to a 3-4.

He's not a 3-4 guy, usually he's said to be a cover 2 guy who can use other looks.

Brandon Spikes would look sweet in Giant blue. He's what the doctor ordered. Is Rolando McClain coming out this year?
