(Regardless of the coach making the decision)

He had plenty of opportunities 2003-2005.*

Do you seriously think there was some sort of conspiracy against him by two head coaches and multiple offensive coordinators to game plan to keep him out of the end zone? That's just asinine.

He just wasn't very good in goal line situations.

I think it was crystal clear that TC had an old school approach of taking his "half-back" out of the game in the red zone and using a power back of some sort. The philosophy was oft discussed and criticized at the time. It couldn't be further from "conspiracy." 

BTW - Stacey Mack played under Tom Coughlin in Jax. You seem to be implying otherwise. 

*Fred missed five games in 2005 due to injury

MJD and his red zone skill certainly hurt Fred's legacy numbers. I still don't think it is an indicator that Fred wasn't good in the red zone.
