Quote: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.

I think you're off base and connecting dots that just don't go together.


I highly doubt Caldwell goes anywhere and I am starting to doubt that Coughlin is in the running to be our coach.


From the tweets and insider info going around it does sound like he wants full control and he's not going to get that here.


In my opinion it would be a mistake to give him full control as well. Tom was a great coach, but in NY, for the past couple of seasons the Giants just didn't have it. Did he lose the team or is he just starting to lose his edge?


I know people love Coughlin, but the Giants let him go for a reason and as good as you once were, doesn't mean you stay that good.
