The Giants have been very good recently, but as soon as Coughlin retires, they'll be doo-doo.
Reid is THE reason the franchise has been as successful as it has the past few years. I dont care who they hire - the chances of him having even half the success as Reid is slim. I just dont get this move. Dont fire your GOOD head coach unless you have someone better lined up. The eagles dont have anyone better lined up. their rumored list of HC candiates is full of people who havent proven a thing and/or been less successful than Reid. Its like they made a change just to make a change. It just doesnt make sense to me.

2010 and before they were a good organization, ever since then... not so much. Everyone could tell that team was going downhill fast. Reid needed Johnson and once he lost him as a DC that team completely changed. Reid banked on Vick and he lost. He lost his touch and needs a fresh start. The eagles started to build their team like the Skins of old (signing a bunch of big name free agents) and now they realized, just like we did the hard way, you do not build a team like you do in Madden. Sometimes it is just time, similar to Shanahan at Denver
