If I were Brian Daboll, I would do that, as well, because if not for the fact that the Giants really, really, really didn\u2019t want to fire another coach, we would be welcoming Ben Johnson or Kellen Moore or some other fresh face to the New York football coaching fraternity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s put it this way: That has not always been an easy job. Thirty-eight men have coached the Jets and Giants for at least 10 games. Here is one man\u2019s ranking, 1-38. I\u2019m pretty sure the top portion of the list will be hard to argue with but, then, this is sports. Arguing is oxygen to we who care about them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1. Bill Parcells<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible he might top this list even if he\u2019d never had that three-year dalliance with the Jets, but that certainly puts him over the top. He won 62 percent of his games with the Giants and 60 percent of his games as a Jet (a franchise record), and has those two Super Bowls with the blue and a near-miss with the green. He\u2019s the only choice here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bill Parcells coached both the Giants and Jets. New York Post<\/p>\n<p>2. Tom Coughlin<\/p>\n<p>Two Super Bowls titles and 110 wins for the Giants, second in team history, and he\u2019ll join Parcells in Canton some year soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the one side of town there is a brand-new coach, Aaron Glenn.
