those giants fans... - Page 2 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

I don't think the Giants job will be open. John Clayton, sorry about the ESPN reference, said that Coughlin isn't going anywhere.

I sad to say I've heard the same thing!

I doubt the Giants sack Coughlin this year. With the injuries they've had on defense it's no wonder they're struggling. Losing your top 3 defensive ends and having to start a rookie and a tackle there will do that to you. Plus the offense lost Pettigout and Toomer halfway through the year. I think Coughlin has done ok this year. They started strong and then fell apart with all the injuries. Giants fans can be nuts but I don't think Coughlin is the problem here.

Weis has an out in his contract for the Giant job according to Mike Francesa. Mike Francesa is close with Parcells, and Weis so I doubt he'd make that up.

Couughlin will get at least another year though, it was basically Wellington Mara's dying wish to have Coughlin coach the Giants.

The world will all know what we have come to know the last 2 years...Weis keeps his word, when he says "I aint going anywhere" he actually means it. His plans are as follows...

1) Win a National Championship at ND
2) Win a National Championship at ND
3) See number 1 and 2
4) Retire after his son graduates from ND
5) Move to South Carolina and relax

Good post nayers.

The world will find out what we already know. Weis is a man of his word, he's stated many times that he's staying put. He hasn't given anyone reason to believe something other than what comes from his mouth is the truth.

First off, I don't think Coughlin's going anywhere unless the wheels just completely fall of and the Giants finish 7-9 or 6-10. But barring that, he has had a lot of injuries to deal w/, and more importantly he was Wellington Mara's boy, so I think John Mara will give him a lot of slack out of respect for his father before he ever lets him go. Ntm, Ernie Accorsi is retiring at the end of the season (thank God!) so there'll already be some front office turmoil, and I dunno if they'll want to add a coaching switch to it if they can avoid it.

But all that said, there are a few teams that if a coaching vacancy ever came up I'd be worried about Weis leaving, and the Giants are at the very top of the list. The other big one to me is the Patriots. If either of those jobs open up, I could see him leaving. And if either of those jobs openned up after Weis had already won a NC at South Bend, then I could really see him leaving.

I know he says he's never leaving, but I've learned its pointless to take any coach at their word w/ that anymore. I mean, I'm sure he means it now, but 2 years from now? 5 years from now? Who knows? He did and interview w/ Mike Francesa & Chris Russo awhile back and they were talking about this, and even though he kept saying "I'm not leaving" Francesa & Russo both basically said they believe he means it now, but that they've learned never to bet on it w/ coaches, and even Charlie said, chuckling, "Weeeeeell, I can't predict the future...." or something like that. So I mean, even he knows things might change and he might want to take a shot in the pros someday.
