with the new stadium on the horizon I think Mara knows he has to keep the fans happy or the seats might not be filled

One other angle that has not been discussed- how does Mara sell to the fan base another year of a coach who has not made the Playoffs for four years.

Quote from: Mikey Ravioli on December 22, 2015, 10:08:22 AMTC will never be fired but he might be asked politely to retire.
I think TC has earned the right to leave on his own terms rather than be ridden out of town on a rail.
That being said - I wouldn't mind if he decided to retire after this season.
Not because I don't think he's a good coach or he is losing it. But because no coach can turn chicken sh*t into chicken salad. No coach has done more with less but keeping him on without the talent is cruel and unusual punishment for a man who deserves better.

Being that this was such an awful LB class - what kind of "top tier" LB did you have in mind in the 3rd Round?
To me anyway, it has become quite clear that the Giants don't draft positions - they draft the highest rated player on their Board. So I didn't see any top-tier LBs on the Board at that selection. I am curious who you wanted.
Quote from: Chris on May 06, 2011, 10:34:21 AMI would have preferred a top tier LB as well but after taking a look at the last bunch a Giant drafts it has become clear that they don't value the position the way I do. >
At the end of the day, is the pick defensible? Can what the player potentially bring to the table - or the apparent role they were drafted for - help the team? I think that's all you can ask in the draft. Given the uncertainty regarding Smith, the current WR depth, and the woeful return game we fielded last year, this pick makes sense. Would I have preferred a LB? Sure, but I can't be upset with a pick that can be defended.
The team is never going to pick every and all the players and/or positions that we want and think we need. We have too many needs each year to do that. I think you can make a compelling argument for each pick. That's good enough for me.
I don't think there's an accurate way to quantify the statement, "position X would have helped us more at that pick." Based on the crapshoot nature of the draft, all of the players we picked could be stars or not make the team.

This is a position where I simply don
