He has a free pass all year. He doesn't call the plays anyway, it's Gilbride. Not sure what you can blame him for today. They dominated time of possesion. They botched a FG, then couldn't get it into the endzone with about 2:00 minutes left from inside the 5 (bad holding penalty and then a very conservative 3rd and goal from the 10) and then finally they needed one person to step up and make a play on d. Guess what it didn't happen, but I don't think this one falls on Coughlin. But with that being said, he better right the ship after the bye week, because they are in absolute freefall. This bunch is too talented to miss the playoffs (especially after a 5-0 start). If they do miss the playoffs, I think it will come down to how the rest of the season plays out. If they make a run and just miss by a game, I think he will be back (Giants organization is very loyal). If they go down in flames which is a possibility, there could definitely be a change, especially going into the new digs next season where people are less than thrilled with the prices and seat licenses that they have to pay. My hunch is that they will make a run and he will be back next season.
