New York hot seats
Jeremy Shockey opened his yap the other day calling out the Giants coaching staff after they were pretty much dismantled by the Seattle Seahawks.
The next day Shockey pretty much said he lot his emotions to get away with him and apologized. What does this mean?
It means Giants head coach Tom Coughlin got him in a room and said you better go out and take back what you said if you don't want to be riding the bench or have reduced play for the rest of the year.
The Giants are a team I cannot figure out. Eli Manning at times looks like his brother and at other times looks like he is still learning the job. Tom Coughlin has ruffled a few feathers in the organization and has been called out for his coaching style for first running tough training camps in his first season. He also has rules on what to wear at meeting such as no jeans and no type of casual wear or at least comfortable clothes at meetings. His late policy is still hard to understand; a 9:00 meeting is scheduled but I really want you to come at 8:55, if not you are late and fined $50,000. If that is the case, say what time the meeting really is at!
Last year after the playoff loss, RB Tiki Barber said the Giants were outcoached and now Jeremy Shockey. Shockey to me is an arrogant punk, who does not know when to keep his mouth shut. But Barbers' opinion I respect.
IF the Giants clubhous is questioning the coaching staff, Coughlin needs to open up the airwaves of communication and loosen up. Running a tight ship is good for discipline but it will wear on the players after a while.
Coughlin has a proven record. He took the Jacksonville Jaguars to the AFC Championship game twice with his strict methods. He also won a memorable upset against #1Notre Dame in 1993 when he was the head coach of Boston College. Eventually though his methods in Jacksonville evntually fell on deaf ears and he was let go.
Coughlin had been rumored at times to be tougher than Bill Parcells his mentor, that says a lot. Parcells at least knows how to play the psychological game if there is too much tension, tell a joke or loosen up if he feels it is necessary. Coughlin I guess has not mastered that part of the game yet.
I just ripped Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis for not getting a hold on his franchise. I feel Coughlin has gotten to a point where he has too much of a hold and the players could revolt if the players feel they are not getting the whole message.
Shockey's opinion may fall on deaf ears, after all he blames everybody but himself, but there is rumors that the feeling he had is mutual among some of his teammates. All I can say is as aCowboy fan, I hope it continues.
