Coughlin steps down.

I started following the Giants when Charlie Conerly was the QB. I know what a bad Giant GM is. Try living through the 70s.
I did live through the 70's...why do you think I have had enough of John Mara's BS...his father fired Andy Robustelli for similar performance's. He's run out of excuses...next yr they'll miss the playoffs again with a avg team and there will be no one else to fire but Reese.
 
I don't mean to interrupt this p**$$ING contest, but just saw end of Coughlin's press conference. Coughlin left podium, John Mara stood up to shake his hand, and Coughlin walked right by him. I would say he is not a big fan of Mara, lol.

Draft "hits" from 2007-13 in Rounds 3-7:

(Note: It usually takes three seasons to be able to accurately assess a draft so 2014-15 was not calculated.)

1. Packers – 14
2. Dolphins – 13
T-3. Panthers – 12

T. 28 Giants – 6

Only the Redskins had fewer "hits" than the Giants since Reese took over as general manager.

No fan with a brain can defend Reese's GM abilities or his behavior at the season ending presser. Good for Raanan showing facts to this fool Reese who delusionaly thinks he has done an adequate job.

Facts don't lie right @Jerry1714 . Instead of being contrite in the presser..his defiance and confrontational attitude to the NYG beat writers earned him what he deserves. I hope Ranaan actually emailed the link to him so he could show him his "numbers"..LOL. Good find!!!

Actually, he is in the middle of the pack currently. And your comment was that Reese has "the worst drafting record in the history of the NFL." That's not just hyperbole, it's insanity. He's not even the worst Giants GM. Just picking Beckham takes him off that list. LOL.

It is the opposite of a complete disaster.

The worst part of that is there were like three or four hits in the 2007 draft. His first round picks were nothing to write home about (solid but not exceptional), he has an awful second round track record and nearly everything good round three and later occurred in his first draft.

Some of the "hits" were also a stretch, Jacquian Williams, Kevin Boss, and Michael Johnson, are considered hits. When this is some of your best work you know you stink.
 
Who cares. Clearly too many of you here. Back to Uconn Football.

Ha. You take the time to come into a thread to say "who cares".

No bigger clown move. Go back to the 3,000 other UConn related threads.

Ha. Ok. Thanks for the guidance.

Jay Alford (3rd), Kevin Boss (5th) and Ahmad Bradshaw (7th) all were significant contributors to the Super Bowl win their rookie years, Michael Johnson (7th) made one enormous play (claiming him a hit however would be a stretch), Zack DeOssie is still around and does qualify. I believe that Reese easily accomplished more in rounds three and later in his first draft than he has in all eight subsequent drafts.

Alford is a stretch he made 1 tackle during the regular season and 5 combined all year in his rookie year. He played 2 seasons in NY and was out of the league after 1 more year in Oakland.

Ahmad and DeOssie were great picks.
 
I won't argue Alford (although I do seem to remember him being a contributor) as the basic point is that nearly all of what Reese accomplished with later round picks occurred in his first draft.

I believe that what hurt the team most was his belief that all he needed to worry about on defense was pass rushing linemen and CB's (although he missed on my of the latter and only hit on one of the former). That we allowed the linebacker and safety positions to deteriorate as completely as they had was criminal and is what really destroyed the defense.
 
Although now a moot point because of his retirement...Reese's selection of Jay Bromley from Syracuse (who will become another statistic in Jerry's mid-round draft failure column) over LB Chris Borland from Wisconsin was a perfect example of what he thought of the LB position. He took a avg at best D-tackle from a losing program over a high performing LB from a quality B1G program who was a tackling machine. I would of rather had the Borland performance/retirement issue to deal with than the pitiful production Bromley has given.

Alford will always be remembered for this
