Quote:Oh please the team lost because it needed to rebuild thats all. 

 

The fact that Coughlin was STILL able to get that team competitive enough that they STILL had positive point differentials for both 6-10 seasons should tell you all you need to know about how good of a head coach he was. 

 

He never should have been fired. All that should have been done was to get a separate GM in here that could work WITH Coughlin. Coughlin being stripped of the GM responsibility was as far as any "firing" should have gone. 

 

"Coaching" was never an issue. He was a fine head coach. 

 

Of course, you don't live here, so you don't have a clue.

 

If Wayne Weaver has had enough, you've really screwed up.

 

Coughlin failed at his job of defacto GM. Yes, he had help. But it was clear that Coughlin thought he was god and didn't want to lose authority.

 

Once it was clear which way the team and salary cap was headed it was clear it was time for a change.

 

I doubt Coughlin, if he was being objective, really minded. After a point people stop listening to you. It was time to go.

 

And he ended up with his dream job, so he's fine.
