Kevin Gilbride was a flop at the OC for the Tennessee Titans in the late 90s; I was stunned when he joined the staff in NY. How we won a Super Bowl with him as a coordinator remains one of the great mysteries in NFL history.

However, Gilbride is light years ahead of his defensive counterpart, Bill Sheridan. When career back-up QBs start shredding your “D,” you know you’re in over your head. Sheridan needs to be fired tomorrow.

And, our so-called “whiz” of a GM better find some help in the secondary and at LB. And while he’s at it, see what we can get for Brandon Jacobs, too. The guy has absolutely no vision as a runner, and other teams have learned to hit him low, or simply gang tackle him. Either way, his effectiveness as an NFL back has dropped dramatically. Unfortunately, the rest of the league knows that, too, so his trade value is probably nil.

Finally, we could also use a WR with the size and skills of a Plaxico Burress. The guy’s an idiot off the field, but he sure created match-up problems for NFL secondaries, and no corners could defend him on the fade routes.

It promises to be an interesting off-season for the G-men. And the changes need to start tomorrow.

Defensive co-ordinator is a tough job if your linebackers and DBs suck.

Spagnuolo and the Giants D was the heart of the Giants SB run. Eli got hot and there were a few SH luck receptions in big games, but as a Cowboys fan I was VERY relieved to see Spags leave the Giants organization. I don't know if he'll ever become a good head coach, but he was an excellent D Coordinator.

When Jim Johnson (Eagles DC) died and Spagnuolo left to take over the Rams a LOT of talent left the NFC East.
