Adam Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 If Killdrive didn't also have a storage locker full of well worn (and well know) baggage, I would agree. He very well could be a better head coach than he is a coordinator.....with my opinion of him, it wouldn't be difficult....
BuffaloWings Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 It's a curious statement to me...it's not like the Giants are an offensive juggernaut and they've built their offense around the running game and a very good offensive line. Not to mention, look what they've done without Burress....not much. I could have *maybe* seen Gilbride as a hot coordinator after the Superbowl last year, but not now.
WellDressed Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I wish he would make some outlandish comment about my boy Johnny "The Crypt Keeper" Clayton hence banished by eoon/

Well. they do win without Burress and top tight end shockey last year.
Tcali Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Gilbride is on the list of "hot" candidates for HC vacancies. if the giants didnt win the sb last yr he'd be coaching at ecc
BuffaloWings Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Well. they do win without Burress and top tight end shockey last year. Maybe, but it's not exactly like they've been running up the score. Plus, they've lost two in a row since the Burress gun incident and haven't really shown much on offense. If Gilbride was as great an OC as some make him out to be, the Giants would constantly be moving the ball and putting up points without their top receiver.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Well. they do win without Burress and top tight end shockey last year. He's played in most of the games this year save the seattle/wash/zona/philly/dallas. They're 3-2 without him. As far as Shockey goes. Make no mistake about it. Manning "Grew up" throwing to Shockey. He was the giants leading receiver before he went down to injury last year. He was an influential part of Eli's growth as a qb. Along the way though the giants learned to adjust, becoming a run based power offense who just wore teams down. Like most good coordinators Gilbride needed Coughlin. He needed him, a lot like Martz needed Dick Vermeil and potentially singletary, to keep him in line, from doing really stupid sh--. Gilbride still has his moments, and Giants fan's don't trust him all that much. This is a weird time for Gilbride to be listed as a hc candidate. Considering the giants are riding a 2 game losing streak, where they've scored all of 1 td offensively in the last 2 weeks.

colin Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 have any of you considered that you have no idea what makes a good coordinator or not?
lets_go_bills Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Gilbride has mysteriously mad the Giants O looke good. Eli has gotten better and the run game is tops.
BuffaloBill Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Gilbride is on the list of "hot" candidates for HC vacancies. Could you imagine - he returns to Buffalo as a HC. That would really suck. I do have to admit that he has improved as an OC. Gotta give him credit there.
