I hope Jerry keeps Garrett -- I don't think the guy is a particularly effective coach. Not Rich Kotite bad, of course, but rather meh. Let Dallas build around that.

As for Coughlin, I have a ton of respect for him, and while his team didn't perform all that well, I think the personnel issues are the biggest problem, and that ought to be on Reese. Not getting help last offseason for a bad defense seemed really foolish -- put it this way, they started Brandon Merriweather and, later in the season, EJ Biggers in the secondary. So castoffs from our porous secondary last season were contributors for the NYG. Just really bad decision-making there. And not doing anything about the aging O-line, sagging running game. Coughlin really didn't have a lot to work with, other than ELi and Beckham, in my view. If Coughlin is fired or if he "retires," the Giants will have trouble replacing him with as good a coach and person.
