Giants OC Kevin Gilbride has announced his retirement from football.
"It’s hard to say, ‘It’s time,’" Gilbride said. "To finally do it, it’s a very unnatural feeling. I’ve been telling my wife (Debbie) for years I was going to do it. ... I knew this was it." Gilbride has been an NFL coach since 1989. He was the head coach of the Chargers from 1997-98, and has overseen the Giants' offense since 2007. It's debatable whether he'd be "retiring" had the G-Men not struggled so mightily on offense this season, but Gilbride sounds at peace with his decision. 62 years old, Gilbride hangs it up having spent time with the Oilers, Jaguars, Steelers and Bills in addition to the Chargers and Giants. Former Bucs OC and Giants assistant Mike Sullivan is the heavy favorite to replace Gilbride.
