Remember a few years ago when the New York Giants were bitching about their new head coach Tom Coughlin? He’s not a ‘players coach’, we were told. His practices are too hard. He curses too much. A sensitive young quarterback like Eli Manning will never reach his full potential under such steely cold management.
Oh what a difference ditching a couple of Clubhouse Cancers makes.
With the ‘me-first’ twins Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey off the field, the Giants just went out and shockey’d the world this past February…and the good feelings seem to be carrying over to training camp, as the New York Post tells us.
“This is a good deal, the best training camp I’ve been a part of,” said linebacker Danny Clark, who played for Coughlin with Jacksonville, as well as the Giants. “It’s player friendly. He takes care of us on so many levels, he makes sure he gets the work he needs out of us. This is not the guy who drafted me in 2000. He’s definitely evolved and understands the game has changed a bit and players have also.”
A touchy-feely Tom Coughlin? What is this crazy, mixed-up world coming to? First thing you know, Ol’ Jed’s a millionaire…
