Wait, you're already looking to replace that won a Super Bowl last year, won his division this year, and the first seed, and probably would go back to the SB if it weren't for Plax shooting himself???

Coughlin is the coach and Spaghetti can wait his turn or go to another team. Lets get this straight though....THE DEFENSE has been by them boys on the team...Strahan, Osi, and the rest of the gang. Not this sucking up person who IS getting all of the glory. Can you dig it?

ugh... Bond is back

There is no reason for the Giants to upset Tom Coughlin's tenure. No one even knows if Spags could handle a Head Coach position.

how do they know couglin is ready to hang up his whistle? why wait for a coach to hopefully retire when i can get a head coaching job now

Because it is the Jets and the Lions...neither of which are decent job opportunities.

Wait a few years and pass up on some big bucks? Drop 'em Spags, take the dough and go to the Lions. you will be a hero if you win 4 games next year. And when the big 3 automakers go down the tubes, the Lions will move to some city with some cash. Take the money, screw the Giants.

But odds are you go to the Lions and have 3 non-playoff seasons and you don't get another head coaching job for the next 10 years. Head coaches don't get 2nd chances. Neither the Lions or Jets job is too attractive right now. Jets have QB issues. Major ones. Lions were 0-16.

Exactly! Don't pass up a chance at that kind of money and if you turn that sorry franchise around there will be more $ where that came from!

If he goes to the Lions and wins 3 games, they'll hail him as Detroit's Vince Lombardi. And the Jets have QB issues, no worse than 10 other teams in the league. Either one would be a good job, and Spags would be a good coach.

BTW, it says Tom Coughlin will be 65 in 2011. I would have guessed he was in his 80s right now.

Ask any coordinator at Penn State how waiting to become Head Coach works out...

The difference between good coaches and great coaches is that good coaches win championships, great coaches win championships AND check their players sweat pants for firearms.

and there is no guarantee about anything in life, with one exception...... Dallas sucks. Take the dough Spags!

Stay where you are dude........regroup in 09 and have at least a chance at making it to the SB for ring # 2.

Wow - lots of Giants stories.....I am liking the transition.

If it really is just about the money, like some of you here suggest, then he should get the bucks he feels he deserves from the Giants and stay put, rather than agree to coach pitiful teams and organizations like the Jets and Lions.

Spag's is a smart enough guy to know you have to take advantage of you're opportunities today because there's just no way of knowing what tomorrow will bring. So I expect Spag's will move on and take it even if it's the Lion's or the Jets.

smart on the Giants part but a bonehead decision on Spaghetti if he agrees to wait

The Rams made this mistake years ago when they forced Dick Vermeil into an early retirement so they could give the job to a hotshot coordinator named Mike Martz. The Giants should be happy with Coughlin, and let Spagnuolo move on somewhere else.
