On November 5, the only coach in Buccaneer history announced that he would resign at the end of the season.

And a person with the club indicated that the Giants would hold a news conference today at which time the coach would announce a decision.

In January 1982, the coach announced his resignation at the end of the season.

"If we win the toss, we'll receive," the coach announced.

As the players sat on the bus following practice the next day, the coach climbed aboard and announced there had been a sudden change of plans.

"That," the new coach announced, "is what we're playing for."

Both coaches announced earlier this week that the series will not resume in the near future.

So what happened at today's Big East media day when the coaches announced this season's preseason player of the year?

Four former Jets draft picks were among the eight players cut by the team yesterday as coaches announced the 53-man regular-season roster.
