Plow Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2725854 The New York Giants are likely to retain embattled head coach Tom Coughlin, but a conference call originally scheduled for Tuesday afternoon to discuss his status was postponed as organizational meetings continued. Coughlin will enter the final year of his contract in 2007 at a salary of $3 million, but speculation is that Giants ownership will extend his deal by at least one year to keep the veteran coach from being a lame duck. A source close to Coughlin told ESPN.com on Tuesday that he is "cautiously optimistic" the coach will be retained and that his contract will be extended. But the postponement of the Tuesday conference call signaled there are still some elements to be resolved, possibly with the contract extension and also probably with staffing issues.

jranieli Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 this is all speculation. WFAN started this and it just went off. Do not believe anything until it is official. I do not believe he is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jranieli Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 i hope you are right Even Fatcessa finally admitted it was just speculation. Again I don't believe any of it. I just do not see how he can come back to this mess. This year extension is ridiculous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 There would have to be a year extension. There's no lame duck coaches in this league. Players don't respect a coach (even less they do now, yes) that they know is not coming back. You would severly handcuff him. Doesn't mean they'd keep him longer than this year, though. They'd eat the last year. Did it with Fassel too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that he would resign and a team like Oakland would take him and we would be able to get a draft pick or two out of it but I guess I can keep dreaming.

Plow Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 you know I love rooting for classy teams (Yankees and Giants), However, sometimes I wish they would just balls up and fire his ass right away. Send a god damn statement to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishgutmartyr Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 At the beginning of the season, I would have been OK with Coughlin if he replaced his coordinators. But after all that has happened this year, he has no shot at keeping even a facade of control over this team. I refuse to believe the owners can't see something this obvious.
