Earlier this week, multiple New York Giants players publicly campaigned for team co-owner John Mara to retain head coach Brian Daboll for another season even though the Giants will enter Week 18 at 3-13 and have gone 9-25 (playoffs included) over their past 34 games under Daboll.  However, Mara probably

Jerod Mayo is expected to make it to his second season as Patriots head coach, but it’s sounding like the same can’t be said for New England’s offensive coordinator.
