Thailog80 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 The NY post had "unnamed" Giants players as saying they hate Coughlin and want him out of there. My question is if this same team tanked on Fassel last year and now on Coughlin shouldn't it be time to get rid of the malcontents? Sounds like the Giants have some serious locker room cancers on that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's seriously "old school" and today's NFL players don't respond well to that. Almost the "Anti-Mularkey" if you will. The proof is in the results.

Dennis in NC Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 I heard that today too. It reminded me of the folks on TSW who were hot to hire Coughlin as Bills HC. I'm glad TD made the correct choice this time. Coughlin just seems like a real prick to work for... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their oline stinks, secondary & wr's STINK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mularkey could very well be the next great Bills coach. He's already a more successful Bills coach than Greggo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's just about the right coach. Coughlin is obviously not the right fit for that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the standard "BS" soundbytes they gave GW but the genuine thoughts of respected guys like TV and LM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsue Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 Coughlin is a tough SOB and a jerk. Besides he has no playmakers to work with on the Giants. There will be alot of players with out jobs on the Giants in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players would give the standard comment about how they liked Williams and wanted to play hard for him, then they would go out and tank it and show no emotion doing it. Two things are obvious to me now. 1. Williams was problem number 1 (which I knew anyways last year) 2. Willis is the guy in Buffalo, Travis wasn't the right guy in the RB spot.
