Anyone got a link or actual proof Coughlin didn't want Bortles?

I remember the rumors... but I don't remember any proof.
We certainly didn't see it in his first draft as VP nor during his second off season when Bortles was extended.

Weird way of showing it.

Is it possible however that Coughlin felt the team should make a change (which gets leaked as "does not like Blake") and was convinced by Doug and Dave that they could fix him?
So he said "OK we'll try it your way at first" then the team over-achieved with Blake at QB and Tom foolishly was fooled as well (as evidenced by his recent interview doubling down on how they approached the draft) and signed off on the extension.

And NOW perhaps, or probably, to save his own [BLEEP] he will clean house and actually get his own reset.

That is just how it all feels to me.
We'll see I suppose.
