Pat Shurmur says he’s built for this. Then again, this is all he has known: This as in being the head coach of a losing a football team struggling to find wins.
“How does it wear on me? I’m built for this,” is what the Giants head coach said on Thursday in response to how a five-game losing streak was affecting his psyche.
The Giants are 2-7 and heading nowhere fast, but Shurmur clearly isn’t ready to concede the season and put his job in jeopardy. Perhaps that’s why he reportedly stood before his team on Wednesday and delivered a message threatening jobs and changes if the Giants don’t perform well against the Jets (1-7) on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
