Sephiroth Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ahh yes, Kevin Gilbride. The guy who's gonna revive the Giants offense and reignite Eli's career (Gilbride sure did a bang-up job with Eli as a quarterbacks coach, didn't he). He of the famed punch in the face from world-class asshole Buddy Ryan. He of the unstoppable run-and-shoot offense. So, what can we expect, Giants fans? Here's a summary of Gilbride's last 8 years as an OC: '95 Jaguars - 28th total offense (team finished 4-12) '96 Jaguars - 3rd in total offense (team finished 9-7) '97 Chargers 27th in total offense (team finished 4-12, Gilbride was HC) '98 Chargers 24th in total offense (team finished 2-4 before Gilbride was canned for legendary coach June Jones... yep, Gilbride was THAT good). '99 Steelers - 23rd in total offense (team finished 6-10) '00 Steelers 19th in total offense (team finished 9-7) '02 Buffalo Bills - 8th in total offense (team finished 8-8) '03 Buffalo Bills - 28th in total offense (team finished 6-10) Even better... Gilbride's QBs are famous for slumping after the halfway point in the season (remember Kordell Stewart and Drew Bledoe in Buffalo). It's gonna be a LONG season.

Plow Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 isn't it ironic that all they talk about is improving Eli next year. So they're saying they arent happy with him so far. So, they're giving his QB coach a promotion? I dont get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I guess they know something that we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And note: With Gilbride as OC, no team finished with more than 9 wins in a season. On the bright side... this lines us up perfectly for Belichick or Cowher in two years.

If he get hired as DC and gets his foot in the Giants door he may be a candidate for Giants head coach in 2008 if Gilbride and Coughlin fail. or would he (Mora) sabotage TC and KG just to get a shot at HC?

Sephiroth Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Jeez. Well, how is Mora as a D-coordinator? I know that those Falcolns D's weren't half bad while he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
