Last winter, there was much speculation that the Tom Coughlin era was coming to an end. The Giants quieted said speculation by extending their coach’s contract through 2016. The Giants have four games remaining in the 2015 regular season. Whether or not the Giants make the postseason, this needs to be Coughlin’s last season.
It is not desparaging the legendary coach of the Giants, to admit that the team needs a change. The Giants need a new direction, so they don’t waste the remainder of Eli Manning’s career battling with their own mediocrity. The Coughlin era has been a great run.
