For years.

Kelly Â

can't even beat Northwestern with far superior talent and we're going to bring him to coach in the NFL? I don't see it happening.

Same.

I think if the offense progresses properly under McAdoo he will be the one given the reigns.

Still need a new defensive mind.

I am really not sure how to react to this Â

"With Black Monday approaching, the Fritz Pollard Alliance, a group that promotes minority hiring throughout the NFL, released its list of top candidates for the 2015 hiring season.

The candidates are: Lions defensive coordinator Teryl Austin, Cardinals defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell, "

Really?

What if we get blown out the next two weeks?

Mara should not have to fire Fewell Â

Zebra3 : 12/21/2014 9:51 am : link

Coughlin should do it at the end of the last game.

Gary Myers on TC? I'm surprised that Â

Bobby Epps : 12/21/2014 9:59 am : link

Myers doesn't have a quote from Tiki about TC leaving.

We should all be happy when Myers has written off TC completely Â

it means ring #3 is coming...

I guess I should have thrown in the caveat that UNLESS the Â

SanFranGiantsFan : 12/21/2014 10:01 am : link

team lies down like a bunch of dogs, he's going nowhere. And after reading some of those articles & quotes from DRC & Fells, that doesn't seem likely. Mara loves Coughlin. The whole BC thing, Wellington's last hire, etc...he wants to bring him back & unless stuff went completely off the rails late, it wasn't going to happen. He's going to get a reprieve.

Then it will be interesting

Looking at that Kawakami article on Frank Gore Â

pganut : 12/21/2014 10:37 am : link

Who he suggests will be headed to the Hall of Fame after what should be his last season, the current one. I looked up Gore's numbers because the suggestion that he'd be in a conversation about the Hall raised my eyebrows. Gore has 10,929 career yards (21st all time) and 64 rushing TDs (64th all time). 5 Pro Bowls.

I never thought of Gore as a HOFer and still don't, especially without a championship. Solid player with a great work ethic, though. Was the article a bit of hometown hyperbole, or do you think he's a legit HOF candidate?

just a feeling Â

HomerJones45 : 12/21/2014 10:41 am : link

That Fewell is more highly regarded in professional circles than among the fans.

BTW, anyone notice how the Redskin offense did yesterday compared to how it did against us.

Agree homer

Let's hope that the Fritz Pollard Alliance is 100% correct: Â

Bobby Epps : 12/21/2014 10:59 am : link

THAT FEWELL IS HIRED AS A HC and leaves the Giants.

I don't care how he leaves the Giants as long as he leaves.

A few points about Fewell's position on that list: Â

Big Blue Blogger : 12/21/2014 11:17 am : link

1) There aren't all that many seasoned, African-American coordinators in the NFL, so it's not a hard list to make;

2) Fewell does have some head coaching experience, and seems to have earned respect during his brief stint as interim HC in Buffalo (though not enough to keep the job against a rather weak field);

3) He has been near the top of that list for years.

I've long believed Fewell might be a better HC than DC. He seems to have a good temperament, and I think he's a well-organized, effective delegator. Doesn't mean he would succeed, or that he'll even get the chance; but I think fans who treat his candidacy as a joke are missing some strengths.

Ralph's advocacy of re-signing Rolle is pure fluff. Â

Big Blue Blogger : 12/21/2014 11:21 am : link

Would it be nice to have him back? Sure. Is he worth high-end - or even mid-range - starter money? The market will have to decide that one. At this stage of his career, Rolle can probably still command a pretty good salary. I just don't see the sense in giving him much guaranteed money. If any team will, I think you give him a hug and wish him well in Oakland, or wherever.

I hope some idiotic team out there does make the mistake Â

Dave in Hoboken : 12/21/2014 11:24 am : link

of hiring Perry. Take him off our hands, please.

Love the Rex Ryan Reference Â

Samiam : 12/21/2014 11:50 am : link

The Jets are going to fire a coach with 3 wins and Ryan is a candidate for 3 or 4 head coaching jobs in the NFL. Imagine how many job offers he'd have if he won 6 games.

Kelly would be a horrible signing Â

speedywheels : 12/21/2014 12:06 pm : link

Kelly. Â

LawrenceTaylor56 : 12/21/2014 12:09 pm : link

No thanks.

Perry would probably be a better HC than a coordinator Â

oipolloi : 12/21/2014 12:11 pm : link

Just like Coughlin.

Has Vacchiano Â

Doomster : 12/21/2014 12:34 pm : link

seen Rolle play this year, especially lately?

As for JPP, yeah the stats have gone up since the season was over, but that won't justify a high price tag...

oipolloi: When was Coughlin a coordinator? Â

Big Blue Blogger : 12/21/2014 1:03 pm : link

At Syracuse in the 70s under Maloney?

I'd rather keep TC Â

Rflairr : 12/21/2014 1:46 pm : link

than bring in that clown Kelly

it's just oi's way of keeping up his rep Â

GMenLTS : 12/21/2014 1:57 pm : link

He totally evaluated TC's OCing skills at Syracuse and came away thoroughly unimpressed....
