What did you ask him? Does John boy still live at home?

RIP Joe, head coach when I started my fandom near the end of the Todd era,

Second longest tenured coach and second in wins. Interesting how I was looking at the team's history yesterday before this news came out. Memories of the highs and lows of that '86 season 10-1. The injuries to Klecko and Gastineau sent the team into a five game slide. Ryan over OB? It worked against the Chiefs. I imagined a NY Superbowl. That roughing call on Gastineau in Cleveland. Shit, that whole game epitomizes the entire season. That's back when OB and Marino really aired it out,, a true rivalry.

I followed him as a player...as I followed the Giants, and followed him as a Jets fan as its coach.
R.I.P.

Perhaps you might have waited a day or two?

May he rest in peace but as a coach he was awful
