We didn't realize it at the time, but when he walked into his first presser and his coat was about 3 sizes too big, it was a metaphor. The HC job was too big for him.

Nobody from the Belichek coaching tree...I'm convinced that Belichck makes his assistants rather than the other way around.
Has any Belichek disciple been a success in the NFL?
Bill O’Brian has gone 27-21 and 2 division titles.
The Browns would kill for Romeo Crennel now.

Yeah, O'Brien was the one guy who sort of came to mind.
Crennel? Ouch. If he's #2, I don't even want to know who #3 is.
Does 27-21 include this year?
No it’s before the year and before they lost Watson they were dangerous.
With this year he is 31-29.
O’Brian can coach. He finally got his QB and he tore his ACL.
McDaniels will replace Belichick if he doesn’t get another job.
McDaniels flamed out Denver because they traded Cutler when he forced a trade.
McDaniels QB was Kyle Orton.
Give McDaniels a decent QB he will be fine.

Umm, the Giants are known as Big Blue, not Big White. According to this article it's the first time Giants are wearing white at home since 2000. Giants will wear white Color Rush jerseys vs. Cowboys in Week 14
Giants are wearing these Sunday and forcing the Cowboys to wear their hated blue jerseys.

You have a good memory. As per wikipedia: The Giants wore white at home throughout the 1980 season. Blue has remained the Giants home jersey since the 1981 season, excepting games against division rival Dallas through 1987, due to an alleged curse on the Cowboys' blue jerseys.[11]

Actually according to the wiki link I posted above, the Giants regularly wore Red in the earlier days. Prior to 1953, the Giants wore red jerseys for most home games. From 1937 through 1952, the typical Giants home uniform consisted of solid red or blue jerseys with white block numbers, blue helmets, gray pants with red socks, and black cleats. There were no designated "home" or "road" uniforms until 1957. A white jersey with red block numbers and no sleeve trim replaced the red jersey in 1953.Big Blue has worn these a couple of times.

New York Giants QB Phil Simms in action vs Dallas Cowboys, East Rutherford, NJ
Belichick has made Dallas wear blue both times they have come to New England because Parcells and he knew the Cowboys hated wearing their blue jerseys due to jokes they were cursed.

No thanks.
Too many painful losses in the ‘All Whites’.
I’ve grown quite fond of the grey pants too.
And they went to the white pants for home games this year...and this year has, well...

Some Giants coverage in Peter King's MMQB column this morning.
Peter King's Monday Morning QB: Week 14
That leads to this question: Should Manning be the Giants’ quarterback of the future, with New York likely to have a top-five pick in a draft that has multiple first-round-projected quarterbacks? Since Manning quarterbacked the Giants to their last Super Bowl win in his age-30 season, 2011, here’s how he ranks against all other quarterbacks in the league (minimum 50 games played) in some major statistical metrics.
In all, 23 quarterbacks have played at least 50 games at quarterback since 2012. (Statistics entering Sunday’s games.)
Category Stat Rank among 23 Qualifiers
Passer Rating 85.7 20th
Completion Percentage .615 19th
Passing Yards 23,046 7th
Touchdown Passes 149 8th
Interceptions 93 1st
Yards per attempt 6.99 19th
Manning, then, is in the bottom five of passer rating, completion percentage, interceptions and yards per attempt among quarterbacks over the past six years. The Giants, whoever the GM and the coach will be in a month, are going to have a decision to make on their 37-year-old quarterback.
Then later in the column
j. Ask yourselves this question, all ye who love the Giants: What purpose does it serve to play Eli Manning in the last three games instead of playing the third-round rookie, Davis Webb, to be able to add info to your 2018 first-round draft decision?
