Giants LOSE 23-20
The D just couldn't hold after Eli and Plax tied it up. Pathetic. Coughlin will be fired, and the new GM and Coach hunt will occupy the next few weeks. There's not enough thanks we can give to Tiki Barber. He's the greatest offensive player the Giants have had in my lifetime, and a certain Hall of Famer in my book. Good luck, Giants, there are big decisions ahead of you.

I can't wait for Coughlin to be fired. I don't like Torre's managing, but I have nothing against him personally. I loathe Coughlin.
Tiki really proved me wrong. I had thought he was nothing more than a situational back. Not.
One of the greatest Giants of all.
ESPNews reports that Bobby Petrino will coach the Falcons.
I know.
what's the time table for coughlin firing do u believe I think a couple of days
I'd think by Tuesday, the other teams are already interviewing people.
u guys are nuts they aint firing tommy theres nobody to replace him with
There are lots of good coaches out there.
if thats what you believe, we will prob settle for a cam cameron kind of guy, no top not people and i promise you that
Which scott am I talking to?
first time poster but read your blog a lot, like it a lot....just dont agree with giant fans that we will be getting big time coach
Cool, welcome aboard. The Giants can't afford to keep Coughlin around as a lame duck while Eli's development is stuck.
Coughlin is getting support from Papa and Co. on the postgame show.
Banks is pushing Pioli for GM.
Papa is a Giant employee, he's not gonna get ahead of the owners.
I also believe now that Mara's might be like Dad and believe that coughlin kept up close so he wont fire him and have faith in him
Nah, they can't afford to alienate the fanbase when they are about to ream them on ticket prices at the new stadium.
If they do fire him as u believe...how long for a coach...do we wait till we hire gm or start interviewing right away
I'd think they'd start interviewing soon, because the other teams are.
Confidence in TC being gone next year is evaporating
he's toast. They'll announce it Tuesday.
Monday is before tuesday too bad
Alas. It could leak.
unlike scott i believe if tc is gone we will go big with someone big namer...to boost this franchise in a way
John Mara said that "he will have something to say later in the week."
proably TC and Lewis both get 6 year contract extensions
Supposedly, Coughlin called Petrino the best player caller he had ever been around.
Mara will announce Jerry Reese is new GM and will commence a new coaching hunt.
Jerry Reese...better then Chris Mara, i guess they dont wanna talk to Pioli....You think Charlie Weis is still on Giants Radar
I do. And I think Pioli is Belichick's secretary.
So You Would be happy with Reese
Would you want Jim Mora Jr as a DC
he'd certainly be a good candidate. I want an attack oriented D.
U think mora would take a DC job or just take a year off and wait till next year
he might take a coordinator job. Washington isn't gonna fire their coach for him, I don't think...
NJ.com:
As early as this week, the Giants are expected to request permission to interview Pioli, according to someone who speaks to members of the team's front office on a regular basis. The person requested anonymity because of the private nature of the search.
The interview could happen even though the Patriots are still in the playoffs. League rules permit teams to speak to members of teams that won their wild-card games for this week only.
Pioli likely would be the leading candidate from outside the organization. The team interviewed former Texans GM Charlie Casserly, but he's considered a long shot.
The in-house favorite is director of player personnel Jerry Reese. That creates an intriguing situation because the Tennessee Titans are interested in Reese to replace outgoing general manager Floyd Reese (they are not related), who resigned last week because the Titans were not going to grant him an extension when his contract expires next month.

If the Giants hire Pioli, it would add life to the rumors Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis will be the team's next head coach. Weis was the Patriots' offensive coordinator from 2000-04.
Recently, Weis has publicly stated he would not leave Notre Dame anytime soon, but the same source who discussed Pioli said the Giants have been told Weis would be interested in the job. Weis might simply be taking his public stance because he doesn't want to hurt his recruiting if he stays in South Bend.
I think the Weis thing is real.
Phil-
If Reese is the choice for GM...and they manage to lure Weis away from ND...who will Weis be able to get for his assistants? I would think that a lot of the guys he is close to already have jobs with Belichick, Crennel or Mangini. Who would he get to be his DC?
Pete, I don't know. That would be interesting to see.
that's my problem with going with Weis...I am fearful that he won't be able to put together a really good staff. and as we all know, the difference between a Gregg Williams and a Tim Lewis is huge.
also, while i think Eli needs a good offensive mind to work with...i think the defense needs help more...and unfortunately, i don't think we are lucky enough to get great minds on both sides of the ball.
We'll get guys. Lewis is just incompetent. A new coach, whether it's Charlie or someone else, will do better.
Phil-think Weis can get Dom Capers as DC? Rob Ryan maybe? anyway our new DC goes to a base 3-4? and if we do go that route, do you think think Strahan comes back?
Rumor out of Miami is Couglin will stay on next year
What does Miami know about the Giants? Especially since Shula is done and George Young isn't around anymore.
It would be stupid to go to a 3-4 with our current roster, including Osi, Kiwi and Tuck. We should try to find someone a little fresher and more energetic than Capers.
