Tom Coughlin says hot seat could benefit Giants coach Pat Shurmur

It sounds as if Tom Coughlin might like to see Pat Shurmur in danger of losing his job.

With the Giants off to an 0-2 start, Coughlin said that one of the ways he knows how to turn a season around in New York is to put the head coach on the hot seat. Told that earlier in the week Shurmur had referenced a tabloid back page with photos of Coughlin and Eli Manning after their 0-2 start in 2007 with the headline “Will They Survive?” Coughlin said that sentiment became a good omen for his teams when he was coaching the Giants.
