Former Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce says head coach Tom Coughlin and many others in the organization are feeling the heat from last year's 8-8 season. "He's on the hot seat," Pierce said of Coughlin during an interview with NFL Network. "I think everybody in the organization is on the hot seat. You are talking about a team three years removed from the Super Bowl. There are some fires lit underneath people's butts now in that locker room and in that organization. Everybody is on high alert. It is going to be a very interesting 2010 season." Pierce was released in February after five seasons with the team following a season-ending neck injury.
