As the New York Giants begin their end-of-season housecleaning, there are some subtle losses they will incur, ones that fans will have to admit will hurt the team going forward.
With the firing of special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey and the resignation of defensive coordinator Wink Martindale, two key defensive reserves/special team aces will be parting ways with Big Blue as well.
Carter Coughlin and Cam Brown both posted farewells on their social media accounts on Monday after their exit interviews with management.

Another #Giants 4-year player and former draft pick says goodbye entering free agency after exit meetings. Just like Carter Coughlin.
Both were core special teamers and Thomas McGaughey was fired today. https://t.co/F4MxEXtSQ2
