Pennington NYT: Giants and Tom Coughlin Near a Crossroads
"And for fans who absolve Coughlin of the losing and blame General Manager Jerry Reese for not stocking the Giants’ roster with enough talent, this is what Mara had to say about Reese in the same interview: “To me, Jerry is as good a general manager as there is in the league. When it comes to the leadership of the team, I’m confident I have the right people in place.”
