Tom Coughlin can already see the writing on the wall and he may be headed out of town.
In the wake of the Giants latest brutal loss, Coughlin and general manager Jerry Reese are once again on the hot seat. While nothing is official, it appears the head coach may already have come to terms with his fate as he put his Park Ridge, N.J. townhouse up for sale, according to NJ.com.

Coughlin has lived in the 4,287 square-foot home with his wife Judith ever since he moved to New Jersey in 2004 to coach the Giants. The home is on the market for $1.175 million, which is $50,000 less than what he originally paid for it over a decade ago, according to the Zillow listing.
The house boasts three bedrooms and four bathrooms and also has a development that features a club house with a dining room, billiards room and a gymnasium, plus a swimming pool, hot tub, putting green, bocce court and tennis courts, according to NJ.com.

The 69-year-old coached the Jaguars when Jacksonville broke into the league as an expansion team in 1995, and he spent eight seasons there, leading the team to two AFC Championship Games. Coughlin then moved to New Jersey to coach the Giants in 2004 and has led Big Blue to two Super Bowl championships.
Now, however, his future as the coach of the Giants looks very grim. New York looked primed to take control of a mediocre NFC East this season, but has failed to put a stranglehold on the standings, having lost three of its last four games.
On Sunday, the Giants dropped an ugly 20-14 decision to the Redskins during a game in which Eli Manning was picked off three times. The loss gave New York a 5-6 record, which is identical to Washington, which now sits atop the NFC East by virtue of a tiebreaker.
With a crowded wild card race, the Giants are running out of time to turn the season around and are at risk of missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year, which could ultimately seal Coughlin's fate as the oldest coach in the league. It appears the three-time Super Bowl champion knows his days are numbered.
Coughlin may end up getting fired or retiring soon as he also owns a house in Florida from his days with Jacksonville, where he plans to live with his wife once his NFL career is over.
The end could be coming soon for the NFL's oldest head coach.
