Weaver had no choice but to move on from TC because Coughlin wanted to be GM, HC and OC and control absolutely everything. 
He couldn't do it all well simultaneously and the team suffered as a result. As did our salary cap.

He was told immediately he couldn't pull that [BLEEP] in NY and reminded of it on multiple occasions when he was too heavy-handed with his players. That was part of the winning equation for him with the giants. He was the head coach and nothing more. That's what he was good at. 

His position in the Jags organization is to control the front office.  He seemingly overstepped that when he went to the locker room and chewed out a player. Especially if he didn't consult Marrone first. 

I'm not necessarily trying to run him out of town, but I'm not impressed with the Fournette pick or the Bortles extension and he's part of those problems. Add this situation if he was indeed truly out of line in his approach with Jalen (we don't really know what was said) and he may be on thin ice with Khan. Who wants Jalen to stay on a big money deal.

Do you know what his value add was when he was brought back to the org? Did DC need the help or was this a situation of, we can’t not let Coughlin throw a helping hand here. Maybe his intent was sold as, look I’m old and ready to retire, let me help with some day to day..

Either way, Marrone or Coughlin, someone needed to jump on Ramsey after the game. You just can’t behave that way on the field.

The team was losing a ton with no end in sight. They hired Coughlin to give them a legitimate face of the franchise, someone fans all loved and someone who's been a historically good football mind. 

Unfortunately he's always had conflicts at every stop he's been at, and that's not just a coincidence. His track record of personnel management is awful too (as Vito always says, Tom wanted to draft Curtis Enis over Fred). If he just focused on being a figurehead it's be ok, but him having final say AND getting into tizzies with players isn't on
