It's bad enough that the New York Football Giants are playing themselves out of the postseason, but now the Giants have to deal with rumors that they are playing for a lame duck head ball coach. Although, Bill Cowher is insulted by rumors that he wants Tom Coughlin's job in New York, there is no denying that Cowher would jump at the chance to lead the G-Men. But, who is to say that Cowher would have any more success in New York than Tom Coughlin? Tom Coughlin is one of the five best coaches in the NFL right now. Sure, Cowher has 149 head coaching victories over 15 seasons, and is an impressive 59 games over .500. But, all of Cowher's coaching experience came with the winningest football franchsie in the NFL. If Cowher is such a great coach, then how come there wasn't a drop off when Mike Tomlin took over the reins of the Steelers?
Although, Coughlin only has 132 wins through the same amount of years as Cowher and is 25 games over .500, his record is negatively impacted somewhat by having to build the Jacksonsville Jaguars from an expansion team in 1995. In addition, Coughlin knows his football, having worked his way up the college ranks from being a graudate assistant at Syracuse to eventually being the head man at Boston College. It's a shame that Coughlin now has to worry about his job security after all the success that he has had at every stop along the way. It's more of a shame that there are those who think Cowher, who has just as many rings as Coughlin, can do a better job in New York.
