Quote:This isn't high school or college. Coughlin put up with a lot of stuff. What was he going to do, give them detention?

 

You only have so many guys on a roster and you are paid to win games - so you play guys who can be a pain in the behind. Part of the job, and part of the reason many college coaches have a tough time adapting to the NFL.

 

As a matter of fact Coughlin had to eventually learn to adapt to the NFL. I know a lot of people like that get red in the face and spit on them sort of approach, but you are dealing with adults who can't lose their scholarship. It's a tough job.
