Giants coach Tom Coughlin isn't going to hand defensive end Osi Umenyiora a starting job next season. The two-time Pro Bowler wants to be a starter in New York. Coughlin said he has talked with Umenyiora since the season ended, but he was also a little disappointed the disgruntled veteran said he wanted to either be traded or retire if he does not start next season. "He's going to come in and work hard to establish that position," the coach said. "He's a big part of our team, he certainly is a gifted, gifted football player." Regardless, Coughlin is not going to guarantee Umenyiora a starting job. "I don't know how you do that," Coughlin said. "Our field is a field and competition is good; just like we tell to everybody, 'Go earn it.' "
