Tom Coughlin’s unceremonious “resignation”

In 2015, the Giants logged in their third consecutive losing season, finishing 6-10 for the second straight year. It was time for the team to think about changes at the top. They decided to retain general manager Jerry Reese but cut ties with Coughlin after 12 seasons.

The organization dressed it up as a resignation by Coughlin but it was clear during his exit presser that he wanted to stay on as coach and blew by CEO John Mara during a handshake opportunity.

Later on, Coughlin would reveal that the team forced him out, which wasn’t really news but was a telling sign of the dysfunction of the Giants, something they have not gotten over.
