i dont feel bad for him , he is in year 6 and the same things keep popping up at a coaching level , time management , unprepared teams early in the year and in BIG games , disrepect on and off the field no halftime adjustments .
man if we saw that then you have a case but over and over again it the SOS
NO!
I think the Giants will end up regretting starting Daniel Jones so soon too.
Outsider opinion (yeah, got drawn in by the Haskins talk): should start the Jets game assuming you guys are still struggling. Buy week, so extra #1 reps, and a bad team.
This thread certainly took a turn towards Gruden's future here so let me chime in on that as well. Gruden is a coach and as coaches go, not a horrible one. What he is not, is a leader of men. Put him in front of the ole' white board and he can draw them up with the very best of them. He's quite capable of teaching the game and how he wants things done, but ask him to do those intangible things that comes with putting a foot or two in some asses, setting a standard and insisting that all must follow or suffer the consequences or being that tough guy example as a manipulative tool to garner the very best out of players who didn't know that there was better in them.
Leadership insists upon one having the ability to adjust on the fly effectively, rally his troops and come out on top consistently. Where our front office consistently gets it wrong unfortunately comes because of their own misunderstanding of the difference between "Coach/teacher" and "Leader of men."

Thanks! We're all thinking it.
Yes, and I think we all have big expectations for Haskins too but let's don't let him get killed before he gets started with someone like Moses saying "I missed my assignment".
Looks like Colt is gonna practice Thursday.
