Remember when Tom Coughlin expected you to come 5 minutes early. Best coach we ever had next to Parcells.

Some players are too entitled like they are L.T without starting a nfl game. In a place like Nyc, come humble and hungry or you will be humbled.
I miss the tough, dependable giants like Eli, Straham, Pierce. They had an identity.
Let’s not forget that Coughlin had to tone down his coaching to avoid the team revolting against him and losing his job in 2007.
Coughlin had one foot out the door before he was forced to chill out. Players had enough of him in 2006. You need to find a middle ground as a coach.
Coughlin had the benefit of a strong leadership core of players who would keep the others in check. Guys like Strahan, Osi and Eli. We don’t have those guys now.
I played D3 football (not comparable at all I know) but we had the same rule. Didn’t matter if you were 5th string guy like me or starting QB. ”If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late!”
5 minutes early and all the clocks were set 10 minutes fast so in reality you had to be 15 minutes early.
