I like Coughlin and I do think Ramsey was responsible for most of the drama. This isn't against TC but I remember watching an Americas Game with the SB Giants and Strahan talks about how much he hated Camp Coughlin, he fines you for being on time and Strahan said hed only play 1 year under him.

Now Coughlin as a HC built teams. That Giants team wasnt full of superstars but he tried to build a team that played for each other, he built men. Look at the years they win the SB. Playoff routes @ Tampa, @ Dallas, @ Green Bay. Thats as brutal a playoff run you can have but he built a team that could go to those places and win.

Sadly i dont find many of those 'old school' characteristics in many modern athletes and that's across sports. The attitude does seem to be 'I can get paid elsewhere'. If its not perfect I'll go elsewhere.
