I didn't want the guy fired in August, but I wasn't on his bandwagon last year either. Anyone paying close attention to the Giants last year realized they were the luckiest 11-5 team in NFL history. They played a joke of a schedule, won a bunch of close games with their D, or when OBJ bailed them out (ravens game anyone?).
The head coach (whom I refuse to type his name) was not the reason they won 11 games. They had a top 10 defense playing like a top-5 defense at the end of the year which masked all the issues on the other side of the ball. The HC inherited a top 10 offense from 2015 & turned them into a bottom 10 offense that could barely get out of their own way. They went the last 6 games of 2016 without scoring 20 points in a game & barely avg 15 points a game this year.
He was a lazy hire by Mara & he's been smug since he got the job. He suffers from the same syndrome Josh McDaniels & Eric Mangini did. They all acted like they could treat their players & the media like Belichick, after winning exactly nothing.
What happened this week was the icing on the cake for most Giants fans, but make no mistake, he wasn't keeping his job based on his horrible game plans & predictable playcalling. Last year he was fortunate that the team stayed relatively healthy & the defense carried them into the playoffs.
