After the New York Giants’ embarrassing 49-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, head coach Tom Coughlin’s job seems anything but safe. It’s the first time since 1964-1980 the Giants have missed the playoffs four straight years. While Coughlin brought the G-Men two Super Bowls in his twelve year tenure, his record for the past four seasons is 28-35.
There are many arguments for keeping Coughlin in place that are quite sound. Every franchise wants the stability of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have only had three head coaches since Chuck Noll took over in 1969. But with that must come success and Pittsburgh has had plenty of that.
