At the AV Club: Best Music Of The '00s

Just a few days into the NFL off season, we've already got our first coaching shake up. New York Giants head coach John Coughlin announced that he's retiring from his family to spend more time with his team. In a short press release earlier today Coughlin explained that the time constraints imposed by his family were detracting from his responsibilities as a football coach. So, what does this all mean for the league? Get ready to sweat. It's time for the Steam Room. Welcome to the Steam Room where we turn up the heat on our experts to give us the answers to today's toughest questions. Alright, alongside OSN Senior Analyst and NFL insider Reggie Greengrass, I'm Tim Devanon. Reggie, you're in the Steam Room. The pressure's on and it only gets hotter from here. Are you ready? - I'm ready. So, let's steam things up. Reggie, you've got all the NFL coaches on your speed dial, so you know Coughlin as well as any reporter. Do you think he's making the right choice by stepping down from his family at this point? Look, Coughlin has spent 41 years with his family. It's a pretty good run. - It is. But with his youngest daughter graduating high school, - Sure. Coughlin felt he had nothing left to prove as a husband and father. Right, time to focus on what really matters. - That's right, Tim. Now, his relationship with his players has been strained over the years because of his family duties. Is this going to help with that? Absolutely. This says he's got his priorities straight. - Right. If Coughlin wants to get back to the Super Bowl, he can't let things like his wife, Judy, getting sick, - Sure. or the impending birth of a grandchild distract him from the goals at hand. How's the family taking the news? - Well, the family is saying all the right things. They're wishing the coach well, but privately, I'm hearing that Coughlin's wife is not handling the announcement well. So, she was blind sighted by it. - Yeah, apparently she has not left the house for days, she's been crying non-stop since the announcement came down. That does not reflect well on her. - No. Alright Greengrass, it's time for the final sweat. Are you ready for the intense heat that's about to come your way? - I welcome it. Who do you see as the next head of the Coughlin household? I gotta say, I like Greg Clem. - Wow. He's a neighbor, he's familiar with the Coughlin household, he's got a good relationship with the family. He's a pretty good bet. - However, for my dark horse, I gotta go with Sam Gillette, he was Judy Coughlin's high school sweetheart. - Uh-huh. Haven't heard a lot from him in recent years. -True. But, I think he could come in and really shake things up. - Sure. I'm also told that Coughlin's youngest daughter, Katie, really likes Steeler's former head coach Bill Cowher. Wow. Would Cowher be interested in this kind of position? Well, he's in a comfortable position with his current family. - Uh-huh. But his friends have told me that if the right situation were to present itself, he would be open to a new challenge. - Okay then. Reggie Greengrass, you have survived the Steam Room. Go cool yourself off. - Thank you. I got hot just watching that. Up next, Menage Ginobili re-aggravated the fake ankle injury he sustained last month.
