"Kevin Gilbride is perplexed.

He wonders why his success as New York Giants offensive coordinator, a gig that had him seated in Lucas Oil Stadium on Tuesday at his second Super Bowl Media Day in five years, has not led him to another chance at being a head coach despite the fact that so many others have been hired in recent years.

"Disapppointed," Gilbride said of not being one of the seven new head coaching hires in the NFL this year or one of seven hires in 2011 or 28 hires over the past four years. "I thought the body of work we have is worthy ... There were certainly some worthy, deserving candidates. Certainly, I was hopeful of getting a look and a chance to talk to some people. You hope that they (other teams) look at what you've done and say that we'd like to have something like that with us. That they'd like to have someone who is a good teacher with young guys, a disciplinarian, someone who can take us to where we'd like to be.""
