Quote:Coughlin interviewed as a head coach. That is what he wanted to do," Rapoport explained.
 <span style="color:rgb(34,34,33);">"He was very clear. He did not want to come in as an executive, he wanted to be the man on the sidelines. And then they decided to hire Doug Marrone and ... Coughlin reversed course a little bit and decided to come on as an executive."</span>

 

 

This statement by Rapoport contradicts that Coughlin had a hand in Marrone's hire. This was all on Caldwell and Khan, (Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb).

 

 

Quote:Boom

 

It's important to remember these facts as they are reported.  Apologists will eventually try and re-write history.  But the fact is that the decision to hire Marrone was not Coughlin's. Everything think else is wishfull thinking because the reporting is clear that the front office decided to hire Marrone for HC and that Coughlin wanted that position specifically.
