Giants, Coughlin agree to 4-year, $12M contract

How does this affect Tiki's value? I think I remember Coughlin liking to use at least two RBs (James Stewart/Fragile Fred, Stacey Mack/Fragile Fred).

Is Thunder and Lightning going to make a comeback anytime soon?

........that was mostly done because Freddy was hurt, when he was healthy, Coughlin played him

Good personnel guy, and the Giants defintely need to make some personnel changes. Bad chemistry right now. Coughlin took an expansion Jags team and got them to the playoffs 4 of their first 5 years. Bad coaches can't do that.

Actually, the NFL stacked that expansion team. I think the success of Jacksonville has much less to do with Caughlin than the situation they were in.
Also, didnt I here about Jacksonville plays being disgruntled with him this yr? If thats the case, those things will only be magnified in NY.
I really question this move by the Giants, but apparantly they wanted him all along.
Let me just say I dont think he will still be there in 3 yrs.

I can see the scene now, Tiki is sitting in a team meeting holding onto a football and is falling asleep while watching film. Another player sitting behind him punches the ball out from under his arm and a melee ensues as players are trying to get the ball so they can take it to coach for the reward.

Maybe this is a movie...

I wonder how the Giants will respond to his no-nonsense style. He has a rep for being very abrasive, how will that sit with the veterans in NY? I'm thinking they'll be wishing they'd kept Fossil in three years time.

All depends on if the Giants are winning or not. If the Raiders had been winning this year, I doubt you'd heard many negative things about Bill Callahan.

That's a good point. These next few seasons will really determine if it was luck or good coaching in Jax. He's a Parcells guy, which is probably one of the fastest rising commodities the coming years due to his and Bellichick's success. The Parcells umbrella could soon overtake the Bill Walsh ex-assistants umbrella.
