Tom Coughlin has informed his staff that he is out as the New York Giantscoach, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Giants are expected to make a formal announcement regarding Coughlin later Monday.

Coughlin met with Giants ownership Monday, one day after New York completed its third consecutive losing season. Coughlin coached the Giants for 12 seasons, leading them to two Super Bowl championships.

Well, bye.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Great coach; glad he is gone.

 

[USMarineVet]

Maybe Mara will ask Jerry for permission to talk to Red.

 

[IAmLegend]

Giants fans have been calling for his head for a couple seasons now. And this guy helped them win 2 Super Bowls..

 

[jobberone]

Well, bye.

FIFY

Which should tell you, it doesn't matter what a HC does, they will always be the scapegoat.

If Garrett is ever fired, whoever we hire, fans will be calling for his head in 2 years max.

 

[LucaBrasi]

He's a very good coach, much like Andy Reid I'm glad he won't be in the division.

 

[Coy]

Glad he is gone, HoF HC IMO and by all accounts a class act.
Bring him to Dallas Jerry, you can do it

They´ll probably get Sean Payton, SMH.

 

[CowboyChris]

only our team accepts mediocrity at the head coaching position. as for Coughlin, great coach, but the writing was on the wall.

This.

Reid and Coughlin are now both gone; hallelujah. You would think it would be an easy run for Garrett (Gruden hasn't proven anything) from here on out.

Complete speculation but wouldn't be surprised to see Sean Payton end up back in NY.

Hear Rumors this morning that SF will look Payton

Coughlin...

Got Jacksonville up and going quickly without a process. Got the Giants 2 SBs. Could actually out gameplan other coaches in big games over the years. Slipped recently but still deserves kudos

Well, he is getting up there in age..... and has been with the Giants for a long time. 2 super bowls. not too shabby. I dont care how bad they were in between. they were pretty bad though....

It was time.

I wouldve loved to have Coughlin coaching Romo/Witten.

 

[Alexander]

Maybe Mara will ask Jerry for permission to talk to Red.

God is great but not that great.

I wouldve loved to have Coughlin coaching Romo/Witten.

Well there is still time!

Immediate word is that he does not want to retire.

I know, not going to happen.

 

[slaga]

Is Eli going to have to learn a new offense at the ripe age of 35?

Hope so. He looked like he really took to McAdoo's system and now will have to start over.

He just had to and it took awhile for him to adjust.

Glad Coughlin and Reid are out of the division.

Both are guys who were clearly better coaches than Jason Garrett in just about every way you can measure the worth of a coach.

Advantage Cowboys.
