Quote:The Giants he didnt have full control and that could have been his downfall as Jerry Reese wasnt great. Theres already reports saying he dislikes Bortles. You seruously think at age 71 hes just going to jump into any coaching situation available?


I think its more likely then not. Im not biting on wvery rumor, but a 71 year old that got acrewed in his last gig...it surely wouldnt surprise me.


Still dont think wed hire a search firm if we were fond of Coughlin and vice versa.

There have been plenty of coaches that have coached in their 70's. Coughlin didnt get screwed over, he won two super bowls with them. His time was up, he was there for a decade, it was time to move on. Your making it seem like Coughlin would be here for a decade. I think the Jags are wanting an experienced coach that can flip this team around quick, I truly believe the higher ups think this team is better than what they were this year. I think they want someone who will install discipline and a winning culture and get this thing turned in the right direction. They want to compete, they want fans in the seats, they want a winning atmosphere. Its not all about winning super bowls, its about being in the mix, competing, talking about winning your division, talking about playoff spots in December. The fans have gotten so used to losing that our season is over by November and we are already talking about the offseason. Then we dream about Super Bowls, lets be realistic, lets get this team competing first. Coughlin for 2 to 3 years in the town where he was the first coach and is loved is a great way to end his stellar career and also give the city something to cheer about, which we have not had since 2007. I think ideally, Coughlin would groom a coordinator to take over.

 

Hiring a search firm is just bringing in a third party to give you a different opinion. Khans in charge of this coaching search, writings on the wall. Read between the lines.
