The NFLPA controversy aside Coughlin has been absolutely terrible in his role as EVP. 

Extending Bortles
Not drafting Watson, Mahomes, and/or Lamar Jackson
Overpaying for Foles
Poor evaluation of Norwell
Paying Lee/Moncrief and allowing Robinson to leave 
Failing to come to an agreement with Yannick
etc.

Despite all of these transgressions people continue to worship Coughlin for his 1996 & 1999 AFCG appearances. The NY Giants won 2 SB Championships with Coughlin as the coach and NY deemed him expendable as a coach. Yet we here in Jacksonville with our loser mentality continue to make excuses for his incompetence. Its funny that Coughlin is lauded for being a disciplinarian but his team leads the league in penalties, he's praised for enforcing rules but has been repeatedly reprimanded by the Union for breaking rules. The so called tough guy doesn't even has the courage to stand at the podium and be held accountable for his actions, he sends Marrone out every week to answer questions above his pay grade. This most recent incident is just another in a series of embarrassments for the franchise.
