Tom Coughlin was short-changed by their "free ride" GM, Jerry Reese and

Giant season end press conference said it all. Mara praises Coughlin.
GM Reese praises Coughlin and was incomprehensible as to Giants
6-10 season.....I said it before, and I'll say it again.......Giants' owners
should have made a complete cut with those in charge with players'
operations. The GM and head of scouting should have been shown
the door.......this team needs a complete makeover.

Reese is a retard. How this dumb bastard still has a job is incredible.
