Press Release - New York Giants Betting

December 9, 2003

Who Can Change the Course of the G-Men?

Bodog.com Sportsbook, Casino and Poker™ has released odds on who will be the next Head Coach of the New York Giants.

While Jim Fassel has the distinctive honor of being one of only five NFL coaches to remain with the same team for seven consecutive years, he may be packing his bags and leaving Broadway.

“It is almost impossible for a coach in this league to last as long as Jim Fassel has with the Giants,” said Rob Gillespie, President of Bodog.com Sportsbook, Casino and Poker. “A number of prominent teams have been seeking out the services of younger more enthusiastic coaches these days.”

With a team of under achieving young players, the Giants management team may be looking to bring in a proven winner. In a league where so many believe coaches to be high priced babysitters, Bill Parcells has again shown that coaches do make a difference. Odds on favorite for this coaching race is former Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach, Tom Coughlin at 5/2 odds, with current Atlanta Falcons Head Coach, Dan Reeves the extreme long shot at 50/1.

“New York is a tough town for any coach to come into, but the Giants have one of the most talent-laden teams in the NFL,” said Gillespie. “An illustrious coaching career is no savior when you are just above the basement in the NFC.”
