TC worst coaching move

was his interaction with the players in his first few years here. Success came after that meeting with management when his job was on the line and as result he changed how he interacted.

weakness.

Strahan and others broke TC's balls a lot and went out of his way to be difficult.

waiting a month before removing Headbutt Whitfield from the starting O-line in 2006. He finally put Seubert in with the starters and the o-line that won the '07 title and blocked for two 1,000 rushers in '08 was formed.

Eli could get hurt with no one touching him like Simms and Testaverde.

Overlooked. Went into minny week 17 resting our starters, including Eli. Two weeks later one n done. Did the exact opposite one year earlier and it galvanized the team.

If it was 1989 I'd say go and rest starters. It was a different league back then. In this era the teams are so close, more parity , every edge you can get makes a difference.

It never gets mentioned but I wonder if that move hurt the team in 08. There's a ton of evidence to suggest it did.

what it was and nobody on this site has any idea what it was.

I sort of agree. The best thing he could have done was got Nassib playing time for the last 3-4 games.

Have Eli start, yank him at the half and get the kid a little precious experience.

Fucking dumb decision.

The year before, TC makes Locklear sit (he was playing very well) when "Done" Diehl comes back from injury. That damn near got Eli killed.

is that the Giants players should have been prepared for the return. that was poor preparation and poor coaching.

i would also throw in the game where we threw it 50 times against the Redskins in the wind, although that's on the OC. that game really was painful.

attempting the FG against the Bears.

My second one is also from that season, having Eli try to move the ball against the Titans once the game got tied. Should have been conservative and gotten to OT.

Kicking the FG late to go up 6 on the Chargers in '09.

Would rather have gone for it and left them with a long field even if the lead was only 3.

Not snuffing out that Eagles onside kick in '10 also, had forgot about that.

Another onside kick vote.

Promoting Bill Sheridan to DC should get some consideration.

also recommended him. Hard to tell he would do so poorly.

that might have turned the season around. Done in retaliation for Nicks skipping Wednesday practice to see a specialist on the advice of his agent. Nicks had practiced on Thursday and Friday and was fully ready to play.

Nicks deserved punishment for what he had done, but not at the expense of the team and its fans. This isn't college football where teaching all the players to become responsible adults is more important (on some teams) than winning an important game. In the NFL it's just about winning.

Glad Nicks is gone so I can get over this obsession with Nicks being made a major scapegoat for a horrible offense, with the quarterback the player by far most responsible.

8th...

Most obvious coaching blunder...

Not putting the hands team up 2 scores with 7:00 to go against philly in their miraculous comeback.

I don't know of this game you speak of.

That has been referenced several times on this thread.
