You contend it was because of Fred's lack of ability at the goal line  - and I disagree. 
Fred complained internally at the time about this (I heard it through someone that saw Fred every day in the bldg)  and it was discussed openly among fans and local media at the time as well.
I recall it clearly. 

I'll sort through the season totals of red zone snaps if I can find them and see if there's data to support this one way or the other.

I broke everything down. There is only 1 season you can say Coughlin (or any coach for that matter) pulled Fred in short yardage scoring situations. Taylor is the one who held Taylor back.

I'm sorry reality doesn't match your narrative.

You counted up some TDs from other backs. If that's "broke everything down" in your book, well then, OK I guess. But it doesn't paint the whole picture. 

You didn't analyze red zone opportunities and which percentage of them Coughlin pulled Taylor from the line-up, which is what I mentioned looking into when I've got the time.
