That will be interesting if it happens. So far no interview with the Eagles has been scheduled.

It looks like the Giants were worried about losing Ben McAdoo. Ian Rapoport tweeted this:
The #Eagles had strong interest in Ben McAdoo. That likely pushed the #Giants to close the deal with their offensive coordinator
Apparently the Giants just wanted to get rid of Coughlin. McAdoo is the HC and supposedly Spags is going to stay on as DC.

Tom Coughlin "stepped down" after meeting with the owners. If they just wanted to get rid of him, he would have been fired.
It will be interesting to see if the 49ers want Coughlin. They have a few other favorites.

I'm guessing you don't know what happened in that meeting.

Nobody knows exactly what happened without being there, of course. But I do know "stepped down" and "fired" don't mean the same thing.
The Ed Reed hire surprised me a little bit. I had no idea he was interested in being an assistant coach.
IMO 49ers and Coughlin would be a very good fit for both.
Just a few years left, and a team that could turn around quickly.
