I get your point but at the same time: Was there even one year where he had at least an average QB in those 8 years? And to still manage to have a winning record each year without a good QB and in a division that is not a cakewalk either...
He still had Big Ben for half of those years!
OMG, no. He's turned into Ken Wisenhunt's "the system works," insists on bringing in old sucky players, insists on bringing in worse OCs than the Cards, and the list goes on.
Yes, but didn't he kind of fall of a cliff during his last years? At least that's what I remember but I could be wrong.
You could make an argument for Tomlin to come in, keep Rallis (which he did when he was hired in Pitt) and then bring in the Callahans to run the offense and offensive line.
If Tomlin were to come in, Rallis would be useless since he would be running Tomlin’s ancient defense.
Maybe. Tomlin was a Tampa 2 guy before he went to Pitt where he let LeBeau keep his traditional 3-4 defense. Even after LeBeau left, Keith Butler was a LeBeau guy and they didn't change the system. I guess I assumed Tomlin never really chose to dictate the defensive scheme too much. I could be wrong tho.
AC made an interesting point; most teams losing a number of close games turn it around the next year. That is true. However, typically they lose them the same way. The Cards are more creative. They lose them on offense and defense. On defense they can’t pressure the QB or maybe they don’t like that tactic. On offense they lose due to clock management, a collapsed Oline or terrible play calling. They actually lost one game due to a bad kickoff. That’s a lot to fix in one year.
Tomlin is the de facto DC in Pittsburgh. It is known here.
And pretty much everywhere else
If they retain JG, for new OC, I would consider Mike Kafka if the Giants don't keep him as their HC.
The Cardinals that existed in September and October lost close games. You could argue injuries, but that's really only on offense for the most part. The current Cardinals team gets 40-burgers dropped on them on the reg with 90% of our defensive starters in there. Budda, Calais, Will Johnson, Garrett Williams, Jalen Thompson, Darius Robinson, Zaven Collins, etc., have been mostly healthy and this defense is just embarassing even with what we considered to be good players still in it. It leaves fans with very little faith in anything improving anytime soon.
I'd prefer a McVay type.
So both the offensive and defensive coordinators would be fired but not JG?
JG's poor record without Murray (1-8 currently with Brissett as the starting quarterback) says to me that the failure of this season is mainly not Murray's fault. 
Yeah, it makes no sense to fire both coordinators but not Gannon.So both the offensive and defensive coordinators would be fired but not JG?
It's "The Way"
Agreed. Let’s be honest, think of the most ideal move and then what the complete opposite of that would be—there’s our likely direction. I hate going here, but the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior.
