Quote:Coughlin isn't going to be the next head coach here because they probably want a fresh face and new ideas and possibilities than going conservative with an old fogy. Like, Coughlin is the move you make if you just want to play it safe and hope for respectability over the next 2-3 years. Shanahan is a move you make if you're hoping for the next rising NFL head coach star. I'd commend Caldwell for taking a chance on Shanahan and not being conservative and going with Coughlin.

I wouldn't call Coughlin a conservative choice. 

 

Shanahan is absolutely a great candidate and Id love him here. Point is, would a young and upcoming coordinator chose Jacksonville? Given that the GM is on the hot seat and theres a good chance he gets fired next year and could take the coach with him.
