Tiki Barber: “It’s time for Tom Coughlin to go.

rbsp7 : 11/17/2014 1:03 pm
Former NFL running back Tiki Barber joins The Home Team each Monday morning to recap the NFL weekend, and said this morning that his former head coach with the New York Giants, Tom Coughlin, has reached the end of the line with the team.

SHUT UP TIKI, YOU SONFOFABITCH.
TOM CAUGHLIN'S JOB IS FINE. HE'S DOING A GREAT JOB. IT'S JUST A REBUILDING YEAR BECAUSE OF ALL THE ROOKIES AND INJURIES. HE IS A DOING VERY WELL. HE IS MOST DEFINITELY ON A VERY COLD SEAT.
I don't think Tiki even understands what he is saying

Tiki is pretty good at knowing when to leave a team

but he's right. Whats the playoff tally going to be now? Home on the sofa 4 out of 5 years, getting blown out with alarming regularity along the way, and failing miserably at the draft. 47% of the players drafted by the Giants in the last 5 years are out of the league. Not moved on, developing elsewhere, filling ST roles and backup spots. Out of the league, period. Deemed unfit for the NFL by every other franchise. Bad coordinator hires and an unavering blind loyalty to poor coaches that has hampered the STs in particular for 4 or 5 years. He had to be strong armed into letting other coordinators go.

It's all unacceptable. I've posted here for quite awhile, although not nearly as much as I used to. I think the long timers who know my posts would agree that I'm not a knee jerk reactionary. But I want to gut it. Commit to a core group of players and gut it. Beckham, Pugh, Jennings, Richburg, Donnell, ODB, Big Hank, Kennard, Prince, and DRC. Maybe Randle, the talent is so evident at times. There's also gotta be a few guys worth keeping around to develop. New GM, new coach, be uncharacteristically active in FA bc they'll have the cash, make the most of your likely top 10 draft position, and load up for one last run with Eli. He's got at least 4-5 good years of football in him and unless the Giants find themselves in an unlikely Peyton/Luck scenario I hope they're all played here.

But it's time for an overhaul. It's been 10 years and they've given us some of the franchise's most memorable moments. But a decade is a long, long tenure as a HC. Everything runs its course. It's time.

offers up his opinions on the NFL and the Giants every week. It's not like he came out of the woodwork just to pile on Coughlin here. It's only at choice moments that people shine a spotlight on his comments.
I haven't cared anything about anything Tiki Barber has

said since he left the Giants. I greatly appreciate his contributions while he was with the team, but he has turned into an incredible ass since he left the Giants.

Sonic Youth : 11/17/2014 3:19 pm : link
But this is dumb and just seems like Tiki is piling on.

No idea why he needs to chime in on this, especially given his history with Coughlin.

He might be right, who knows, but he should have really STFU on this one for once.

at this point Tiki could stand up and announce that he has a cure for cancer, and NYG fans would still rip him.

Tiki may be right, he may be wrong but he's paid to voice an opinion and getting on Coughlin is more than fair at this point. I'm in the middle...but Tiki isn't out of line for saying this.
I have a fundamental problem with an ex NFL player or coach  
B in ALB : 11/17/2014 4:15 pm : link
who doesn't see the hyprocrisy in calling for someone's job. This person should know firsthand how difficult it is to maintain longevity in the NFL - let alone win and maybe have the opportunity for championships.

I think Barber is out of line - yet again - and it's classless for him to call for Coughlin's job.

Right or wrong in his opinion and i'm sure he often felt the same way when he was playing for him. Then - bam - you're out of the league and they win two SBs.

Yes, the guy who was valedictorian of his high school and went to UVA on an academic, not athletic scholarship, can only recite his ABC's.

it's tiki's job  
aquidneck : 11/17/2014 6:00 pm : link
to call for Coughlin's job. He's a paid talking head, and a minor one.

No big deal?

It's only awkward because he played here and because he's a proven and long standing smarmy marment douchebag.

Let it go?

So you believe he's going to announce the cure for cancer? If thousands of Ivy leaguers don't make it in the business world then why does a self destructive idiot get the benefit of doubt with his miserable track record? Oh of course, he played football. Whatever

no you jackass. I never once said that. I said he is, despite what you want to believe, smart enough to recite something other than the "ABC'S".

Exactly. It's going on 8 years yet whenever he opens his mouth, regardless of what he says, there's a chorus of "shit up Tiki!". It's going on a decade already, if you can't reconcile the fact the Tiki Barber isn't the idealized Mr. Nice Guy he appeared to be than I don't know what to tell you.

But he's absolutely right. If you're OK with the last 5 years of Giants football and furthermore scoff at the idea of replacing a coach who's missed the postseason 4 out of 5 years, in the prime of the greatest QB the franchise has ever had, then you have ridiculously low expectations. From the poor drafts to the alarming regularity with which they are blown out, the last 5 years have been unacceptable.
Sadly, Tiki missed an opportunity  
JohnF : 11/17/2014 8:22 pm : link
to put himself back in the graces of Giant fans. If he said the opposite, that Tom deserved another chance, that would have made a huge impact. He would have made national news, I think.

Hell, he didn't even have to mean it...

No, he had to pile on. As good a football player as Tiki was, he had and has no sense of timing.

it is his analysis of why. Makes you wonder how Tiki was able to play in the NFL and still sound like he does not know anything about football.

Hey Tiki, do you think you could have run behind this offensive line? Do you have any words about Reese?
Can someone please explain to me

Anyone who is still holding a grudge towards Tiki all these years later really needs to let it fucking go.

It's so unbelievably petty and ridiculous at this point. His career as a Giant should far outweigh the couple of stupid comments that proceeded it.

He was a great player and one of the most talented offensive players we've ever seen in a Giant uniform.
