Lughead Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 LINK Giants Coach Tom Coughlin: 'I'm Going to Try to Be More Patient' Posted Jul 15th 2007 10:15AM by Dan Benton Filed under: NY Giants, NFC East, New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin has been on a mission this offseason. One of his main focuses has been trying to get his players to, essentially, shut their mouths. He has made it extremely clear that he's sick and tired of players airing the team's dirty laundry (see: Tiki Barber) to the media. However, Coughlin also realizes that there are other problems surrounding the Giants; including himself. "I think there's no question I can improve," Coughlin admitted to The Post recently about his personal relations. "I'm going to try to be more patient, I'm going to try to be someone who understands again the jobs and responsibilities of those around me." We've all heard the saying: "The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one." Well, Coughlin has now climbed that mountain. The next step is actually doing what he says he's going to do. Does that mean letting players run wild? Absolutely not, but it should at least eliminate fines for being early to a meeting.

RandolphScott Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Why Tom Coughlin was hired. 1. Pledged he would stop penalties. 2. Said injuries were a "cancer" and "mental" more than anything. 3. Restore Giant pride. 4. He was Irish Catholic. 5. Boston College Connection (Thanks Admiral) Coughlin hasn't done any of the things he has pledged to do since his hiring in 2004, unless you guys call 1 and done playoff apperances good. The sad part? Tom even knows he is a lame duck coach, he just doesn't want to admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year later, he wanted jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 14 years ago, Tom didn't want us. One year later, he wanted jacksonville. He was hired in 2004, he was interviewed for the Giants job in 1991 but decided to take the BC job instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
