- Patricia made the best impression
- Shurmur made the biggest leap
- McDaniels just like everyone else no one knows what the Giants are thinking
- Wilks presented himself well but he has a far climb up the mountain with Mara & Tisch to convince them hes not McAdoo Jr

There's no question Coughlin had to go. His last year coaching here was a horror show. I don't ever remember a good team losing a game the way we lost to Dallas opening day. And, there were other games during the year that we gave away. With that as an aside, I can see why they kept Reese at least that year. And, people conveniently forget that the year after Coughlin was fired, the team won 11 games and went to the playoffs. I understand alot of people will ignore that but it happened.
On the other hand, Reese had 1 huge mistake over a period of time and that mistake was never fixed and pretty much killed this season. He never built an OL. He made assumptions that certain players players would step up and they didn't or they got hurt. If the team had a decent OL, not a great one but decent, this team, warts and all, could have gone to the playoffs. If an OL could have gotten a running game going, this team would score and the defense would not have would not have to get back on the field minutes after another 3 and out. The OL is the foundation of the team and without a foundation, everything crumbles. For me, Reese's draft and free agent signings were an indication that he was either unaware of how they were on thin ice or how stubborn he was.
How the hell do they draft Engram plus when there were good OL available in the draft and how do they only bring in Fluker as a free agent? We had a horrible OL and they draft Biz and sign Wheeler as a UFDA and with Fluker, that's supposed to make a difference? And, Reese was not helped by McAdoo who went with Hart as a starter with Fluker and Jones on the bench.
I have been concerned about Reese for a few seasons but I don't think he should have been fired when Coughlin was let go. But, he made assumptions about the OL that warranted his being let go. I'm assuming it was the Eli benching that triggered a midseason firing but he was a goner anyway.
You can comfort yourself with those thoughts. They are wrong-headed as events (including a 200 million spend on free agency to rectify the for shit defense Reese put together) have clearly proved. Reese should have got the axe after the 2013 season when three lousy drafts in a row and bungled free agency left the team without a tight end, running back, wideouts or much else.
So yeah, comfort yourself as you sift through the ashes of Reese's Hindenberg. The very fact you think that a team with Preston Parker, Larry Donnell, Daniel Fells, Rashad Jennings, Stevie Brown, Jameel McClain, Cullen Jenkins, Chykie Brown, JD Walton and the rest of luminaries constituted a "good team" shows you really do not know your ass from a two base hit.
Why are you upset today? Have a snickers.
LOL! I thought about asking him ‘Why are you so angry?’ but wasn’t in the mood to feel the wrath myself.
Fruit of a poisonous tree after Chip Kelly.
