The NFC East is about to get tougher
 

Well I know that the possibliity of Coughlin being fired from the Giants along with Acoursi retiring as GM may cause a lot of disruption to the Giants franchise, but if the replacement for Accoursi is who this article states our division just gets that much tougher.....

I thought the Pats already locked Pioli up with a new contract.

It would just the right time for the Giants to get him with Manning stumbling and Barber retiring.

My guess would be Pioli's contract allows him to leave if it were a promotion and becoming a GM with complete decision making would be considered a promotion over a player personnel which his current title is at New England.

Oh good: a coach/GM. That always works out well.

I'm I the only one that hates Shawne Merriman's guts? Reporters voting for him even moreso? How the hell does a guy who is juicing up make it to not only the pro-bowl but be selected as an all-pro? This is total BS!

Well that is a good sign IMHO - the last thing we need is one of the NFC East rivals getting Pioli. Bob Kraft is a smart owner - even though he is considered one of the rich, influential owners he also knows a good personelle man/GM is hard to come by these days so he makes sure to spend his money keeping a good FO intact.

Re: The NFC East is about to get tougher
 

I've heard rumors of Parcells possibly leaving Dallas and taking the Giants' GM job.

I heard T.O. would be his Vinny

so could we conclude coughlin is done in NY?

Not necessarily, Parcells might be inclined to keep him since they have worked together in the past.

yesterday on Around the Horn, Michael Smith said that the TO - Parcells marriage needed to end & if the boys keep TO, Parcells should take the Giants gm job.
Maybe that's where it started, or smith heard the rumor too?

I heard it mentioned around the office ast week that there was some speculation that Parcells wanted to go back to New York.

Personally, I think he stays one more year in Dallas.

Re: The NFC East is about to get tougher
 

I think they both stay one more year. Parcells is as close to a championship (:vomit: ) as he's been in a long time. He's got a good thing going with that team. Leaving now would put the Cowboys in a bind. He may even be labelld a quitter since that's en vogue now.

If TO doesn't want to go and doesn't stir up any crap this off-season there's no good reason for him to be let go. He dropped a lot of passes but apparently a lot of that is due to his finger which is supposed to repaired this off-season.

Seems like it would be hard for him to leave if he still wants to coach after he's built the team.
On the other hand, if he's pissed at JJ & TO, & wants to end his career close to home where he had the most success, the Giants job might be too tempting.
I could see Coughlin getting canned & the tuna replacing him, more than the tuna being gm.

I don't think he can coach elsewhere next year (much like Cowher), unless the Cowboys are compensated.

You know what would be insane? Bill Parcells as Redskins GM

Re: The NFC East is about to get tougher
 

I can't see Parcells leaving and having his last game be that disaster from last week. I say he comes back and TO is out.

I'll go knock on his summer house door and see what he says. :)

Michael Irvin was on Dan Patrick yesterday saying that he though both Tuna and TO would be back, and that there differences had been greatly exaggerated by the media. He also sounded like he was drunk and maybe even cracked out though, so take his words for what they are....

Re: The NFC East is about to get tougher
 

I just can't see Parcells in a limited football role like GM. He seems like the kind of guy who wants all or nothing.

"(Scott)Pioli, 41, would have fit the profile and was the leading outside candidate. Pioli, along with Patriots coach and former Parcells assistant Bill Belichick, have constructed a dynasty in New England that includes three Super Bowl wins. Pioli is married to Parcells' daughter, Dallas."

Re: The NFC East is about to get tougher
 

I think losing Coughlin and Barber will have a greater immediate impact than signing a good GM.

LOL Irvin is a joke, I really don't understand how the guy has a job in the media.
