EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Angered that the team was firing two of his closest lieutenants, New York Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale cursed out head coach Brian Daboll during a meeting on Monday, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The New York Post reported that Martindale «said his piece, got up, slammed the door and walked out of the building» after the Giants fired outside linebackers coach Drew Wilkins and defensive assistant Kevin Wilkins.
Both had come over with Martindale from Baltimore, and Drew Wilkins was considered Martindale's right-hand man. The rocky relationship between Daboll and Martindale is at the center of an impending split.
It was reported back in November that the two were in a «bad place.» A source said they expected Martindale to resign following Monday's incident.
