A remarkable day in the history of the Giants unfolded with a forceful yet nostalgic Tom Coughlin feisty as ever as he bid adieu, John Mara every bit the man in charge as he sounded the alarm for the franchise and Jerry Reese on the defensive and vowing to do better.
What happens next will determine if the Giants continue to flounder – as they have the past four years under Coughlin – or rise to great heights once again – as they did with two stirring Super Bowl championships under Coughlin’s stewardship.
The Giants have not embarked on a head coach search in 12 years, and finding someone capable of adding to the hardware that Coughlin put in the trophy case will not be easy.
