“Let’s prepare ourselves to play an outstanding football game and try to win a game against the Philadelphia Eagles team”. “Right now we have to go out there and put it all on the line”, Pugh said.

“It’s definitely hard”, said Pugh when asked if it was hard to block out the intensifying rumors of Coughlin’s eventual demise. The late game mistakes, inability to play defense and general snafus over the course of the season have to fall on Coughlin’s shoulders and while many will regard him as one of the greatest coaches in Giants history, it’s time for a change in NY.

O’Hara went on to point out all of the obstacles the Giants were forced to deal with, including a plethora of injuries in the secondary, Jason Pierre-Paul’s fireworks accident and Victor Cruz’s season-ending calf injury, and said it’s a miracle in a sense that Coughlin’s team was even in the running for the division title as long as it was. But on Thursday, he was presented with a new query: Does he want to come back next season? But then again, crazier things have happened and it wouldn’t be the first time the head coach left a job abruptly to take on a bigger one.
Coughlin, though, did not sound as if he is thinking about retirement. We’re going to work as hard as we possibly can. I always have the competitive spirit.
“It would be really silly for me to say yesterday was just a normal day”, Shurmur said. That being said, the spotlight would be on him like never before and the pressure on unlike he’s ever experienced.
There has been rampant speculation about Coughlin’s future in the past month as the Giants (6-9) stumbled toward the end of the season, losing five of six games. Behind closed doors that’s been much easier then when he has to meet with the media. The Eagles won’t change much without Kelly given just three practice days to install a plan, but bank on RB DeMarco Murray getting on the field more often. “The players are used to doing things a certain way”, Shurmur said.
But focusing on the game is simply postponing the official start of the clock on a decision regarding who will coach the Giants next season.
When asked how he would feel walking off the field at MetLife Stadium, he brushed the question aside. Surely Coughlin recognizes that possibility. “He kind of told me what happened in the meeting, because it was very brief, with Mr. Lurie, as to what was said, and we wished each other well, and that was it”.
Even if the fans give him what is expected to be an emotional – if potential – sendoff? However, the brutal losses of this season demonstrated how the game has passed Coughlin by and why the Giants need to let him go. And I can’t use the language with ladies around now. “Yeah, he hasn’t got my name yet”.
