Fire Tom Quinn! Not so fast -- Giants were actually good on special teams in 2015

New York Giants assistant coaches are flying out the door. Some on their own like former linebackers coach Jim Herrmann and former wide receivers coach Sean Ryan. Others, like strength coach Jerry Palmieri, offensive line coach Pat Flaherty and defensive line coach Robert Nunn, with a shove. Nary a word has been heard, though, about the status often-criticized special teams coach Tom Quinn.

There might be a good reason for that. While the Giants' defense was awful and the offense did not meet expectations, special teams in 2015 may have been better that at any time in Quinn's nine years running them.
