Despite losing it last two games in pathetic fashion, the football Giants still are voicing support for their coach. However, counting this season and the previous two, the Giants have one of the worst records in football over the last three games: they’re 3-8. And even if they win the final game of this season, they’ll still have won only 33 percent of those critical games. Should the coach also be spared of blame for that result?

No matter how the team does in its last game this season, change is needed, and the coach is not the only one whose performance needs review. The GM has drafted a number of players in the upper rounds who haven’t made a difference when they get on the field, Clint Simtim and Travis Beckum two examples.

The bottom line: Bill Cowher is available.
