RadioOnFire.com - Tom Coughlin got the news this week that the Giants want him back for another season, despite now three straight years of missing the playoffs. Now admittedly injuries and disappointing production from players has caused some of the woes so you can’t blame it all on coaching, but at the end of the day the blame for losses and praise for wins comes with the job. It is always great to have a supportive owner, but John Mara said he almost fired everyone after the Giants lost to the Jaguars earlier this season.
In a season ending press conference Tuesday, Giants co-owner and president John Mara joked that he wanted to “fire everybody” after a crushing loss to Jacksonville earlier this month.
The owner, who made a similarly impassioned plea last year after the team missed the playoffs, called the 6-10 season “embarrassing,” and noted that several of the last few drafts have been “largely unproductive.”
That being said, he threw his support behind head coach and Tom Coughlin and general manager Jerry Reese for another season.
Amid the lengthy address, Mara said that it wouldn’t be “unfair” to refer to 2015 as a “win or else” season in New York. The owner has been loyal to his two-time Super Bowl winning team, though it seems like next season will be a key one in his evaluation process.
Mara said that he might allow Coughlin to go into 2015 without a contract extension. Eli Manning also has a deal that is set to run out after next year, though Mara said he would like the quarterback to “retire as a Giant.”
