ESPN source: Tom Coughlin fired as Giants head coach
For the other five home games, the Giants will be hosting the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and New Orleans Saints at MetLife Stadium.
The New York Giants defense has struggled all season, and it is the only viable explanation as to why they lost this one.
Graham called Kelly’s absence “like a void in the room sometimes”.
The Philadelphia Eagles have already begun the interview process in the search for their new head coach. National Football League rosters are constantly turning over. After the season both teams suffered, this was better described as a pride game.
Should the Eagles commit to Sam Bradford long-term?
Coughlin addressed the media after Sunday’s 35-30 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, a loss that punctuated his third consecutive losing season in NY. “He’s like a father figure to all the players”.
Some may read Peters’ words as an indictment of Kelly.
The Giants opened the 2014 season 0-2, and Coughlin’s decision to hire offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo certainly didn’t look good at that time. He said he exited the loss to the Redskins last week because of an elbow injury.
“He’s been great”, Beckham said. “He gave me a contract”. I bought into what he was doing. That’s a part of the business.
The Eagles are expected to consider many candidates for the job, including several coordinators. However, this is something to keep an eye on as the Eagles’ search fo a new head coach continues to unfold.
And it’s nearly certain that one of the Lurie’s first questions will be about that position, and specifically Sam Bradford.
Bradford isn’t a lock to return to Philadelphia, however.
“If [the new coach] feels like I fit and I feel like I fit, that’s it”, Bradford explained.
Scheme will be important. Except this season, interim coach Pat Shurmur directed the team and not Chip Kelly.
Bradford completed 16 of 22 attempts for 180 yards, one TD and one interception.
The Eagles (7-9) didn’t wait for the end of the season to start changing things. His 863 rushing yards this season are a career high.
He’s likely back next season, with all of his $7 million salary guaranteed. I told him I want him back. The Eagles went 2-3 for both SU and ATS over the last five games.
“They’re not going to fire Tom”.
“It was kind of like subliminal messages like, ‘We know who we’re playing this game for, and let’s finish.’ And we didn’t finish, ” cornerback Prince Amukamara said. They will select 13th in the draft. If they lose, they could have the 9th pick instead of the 10th. Tye faked Kendricks out of the play at the 4 and walked in. But which defensive front would best fit his talents? “The whole team, everybody, wants to end on a high note and play well”, quarterback Eli Manning said. Just like the Eagles, they’re out of playoff contention, too. But linebacker Connor Barwin beat Giants left tackle Ereck Flowers and hit Manning from behind.
“I’m suitable for a 4-3”, Curry said when asked which defense he would prefer. “Just like our players”.
Shurmur also has head coaching experience.
“There’s going to be changes here”, Ertz said.
Can the Eagles find him?
