Quote:This is something that's crossed my mind. This franchise holds TC in high regard, and rightfully so. However, his last few years in NY weren't perfect. What if, and this is a very possible if (especially with the question mark at QB. I mean, can you imagine Tom's reactions to Blake's penchant for dumb mistakes?), that he comes here and the team continues on a downward spiral and ends badly? How would that affect his legacy then?

 

Great point. The Kansas City game may have killed Tom. At the minimum he would have had a stroke.

 

I've wondered about the legacy thing myself. Coughlin knows he doesn't have many years of coaching left, so I assume he'd like to try and find a team that might be able to win soon. That usually means having a QB who can win. Wonder what he thinks of Bortles?

 

Of course, someone has to offer him a job. As a head coach. I have to idea what people are talking about when they talk about Head of Football Operations, or some such. That's what you have a GM for. And Coughlin is no GM. Nor does he want to be, I would assume.
