Looks like OC KillDrive may get the axe and also OC Mike Sherman. As a FavreCo owner
for most of his career, I can tell you that a firing of Sherman is a great move.
Maybe Gomer can indeed be a comeback candidate in 2014.
Mara never once named Gilbride, although he seemed to blame Gilbride for plenty. That included the handling of late-season breakout star Jerrel Jernigan, who spent two seasons in complete obscurity before this month’s emergence.
Kevin M. Gilbride, the coordinator’s son, is the Giants receivers coach.
jesus. What a ####### surprise. Coaching talent not required, relatives get 1st shot.
I like Gilbride.
He coached a bad Chargers team and a bad Bills team but fine he's no head coach. As an OC, though, I like him.
I enjoy his tough offense. It will never be pretty like some today, but I like it.
When he was with the Steelers they had a QB disaster that no one could fix and eventually they drafted Big Ben. Blame him for Tommy Maddux? or just before retiring Kordell? Cmon. Anyhow he had Bus and Plax and Ward and that Steelers line. In Jax he had Natrone and Brunell flinging it to Keenan and Jimmy Smith, Jacobs/Ward and Bradshaw, Eli Cruz and Nicks. I like his offenses just fine.
He's not the fastest show on Turf, Vermeil, Sean Payton's Drew Brees O, or Tom Moore's Peyton offense.
He's never had the top QB, but probably Brunell and Eli's career years are best. He's done well with what he's been given.
His son-The Giants have produced some excellent WRs the last so many years. There's one reason why Jerrell sat. People all jumped on board a poorly timed statement by Mara as if anyone wanted Jerrell playing over Cruz or Randle. Nicks, til recenty, was the locked in starter. Mario was there fighting for time and Nicks was untouchable. They even had Steve Smith who, before wrecking his knee, was an excellent young WR who had nearly 100 grabs IIRC. It would be a challenge to find a WR coach with a better group. Players leave and the Gmen haven't missed a beat til this year and most of us are blaming Eli.
NY is a different environment than the rest of the country. They call for coaches heads after a single loss. Anywhere except NY it would be odd to hear fans complaining about a coach that's 6-1 or somesuch. People wanted Coughlin gone after winning a Supe.
The Giants offense was out of sync and if that blame goes on Gilbride, ok then, but there's plenty of other issues and a thread here discussing them. Captain of the ship taking the fall... whatever, I'll roll with it, but this is a good OC.
Coughlin is fighting for Gilbride's job. I would not be surprised if Coughlin is suddenly the top coaching candidate. This is new in NY, no one said boo to Wellington Mara but this is his son now. Depending how Coughlin behaves, he might have to let Coughlin go now too.
