| Coughlin On The Hot Seat? |
|
On Friday, in an interesting interview on the NFL Network, former New York Giants linebacker and former team leader, Antonio Pierce, suggested that head coach Tom Coughlin is on the hot seat. Even though he won a Super Bowl - even fairly recently - it wouldn't surprise anyone if that was truly the case. In New York, everyone is always on the hot seat. The problem for Coughlin is that the Giants took a big nosedive in 2009. After starting 5-0, they hit the wall and didn't even make the playoffs. Injuries were a huge part of that but the casual football fans just want results, not excuses. The truth of the matter is that the Giants need to improve as a team. Their passing game needs to improve, namely the wide receivers need to step up, the running game needs to be consistent, namely Brandon Jacobs, and the defensive line needs to play to their capabilities. Those are the things that affect the NFL point spreads on the Giants on a weekly basis in Legend Sportsbook and not so much the difference between who is coaching. Coughlin may be on the hot seat but it doesn't really matter. Unless the Giants can stay healthy and improve their on-field performance, anyone who coaches them will be on the hot seat. |
