Wanting to win every game of the season along with your team is not easy on coaches or players. One might think coaching a sport can be easy, but little does he know how much dedication it takes.    This comes into play especially when one is a coach of a professional sports team – an NFL head coach for example.  Coaching situations lately in the NFL have not been too stable. Coaches are being fired, resigning and even resigning before they get fired. There could be many different reasons for firing a coach, but when is it actually fair enough?  Take Tom Coughlin, for example. The man is 69 years old, and he coached throughout college and professional football for 46 years. Within those years, he had some successful times.   His most recent position was head coach of the New York Giants, with a losing season, which was called by many sports shows ‘a season of mistakes.’ Coughlin coached the Giants for 12 seasons. He had won three Super Bowls with the Giants in the years 1990, 2007 and 2011.  Toward the end of the 2015-16 season, rumors started about letting Coughlin go, or him resigning because of the losing season and not making playoffs for four seasons in a row. After losing to the Eagles in a close 35-30 game, Coughlin told the press he did not know what decisions were going to be made.  In this situation, even being a die-hard New York Giants fan, I think letting go of Coughlin was the right decision. Even though players, other coaches and the general public adored Coughlin, his coaching skills did start to deteriorate over the years; that’s what matters. He has better things to worry about at his age. No matter what, though, he will always be remembered in football history.  Coughlin was recently interviewed by the Philadelphia Eagles who also recently lost a coach. They fired previous head coach Chip Kelly two weeks before Coughlin’s resignation.  This situation was different — many Eagles fans despised Kelly. He coached the Eagles from 2013-15, and supposedly just could not adapt to “Eagles football.” This past season, the Eagles went 6-9 and barely clinched second in the NFC East. Kelly was hired by the San Francisco 49ers shortly after being fired.  “I think it is a good thing that he has gotten fired. He was not willing to adapt and got rid of too many talented players – he did not connect with them,” Mr. Andrew Smink, English teacher and Eagles fan, said. “This gives us an opportunity to hire someone new and exciting who is willing to connect with the players and be more approachable.”
