Quote:Khan said what most figured. Coughlin will be his eyes and ears in the building at all times. Coughlin is basically Khan's step in. Caldwell's role shouldn't change.

 

If Coughlin gets to blindly pick whoever he wants, just because he has the final say over the 53, then we're going to have some serious problems.

 

Outside of the 1st round, he was pretty awful at drafting.

Yes, Caldwell will work with Coughlin, but Tom Coughlin is the head of anything football related. If its football related, the final say is Tom Coughlin. If it comes down to a player in the draft? Coughlin has the final say, if Coughlin wants to sign or rising a certain player, Coughlin has the final say, if he wants to cut somebody, Coughlin has the final say. Heck, hes involved in the assistant coaching search ( kinda disagree with this), hes already rejected Marrone from signing a couple of coaches. 

 

This is the Tom Coughlin era as of Monday. Its his team, he has the final say. You are scapegoating Caldwell hard. Your acting like Caldwell has nothing to do with 14-48. We went 14-48 and hes had a ton of question marks from his decision making. You want to rip Coughlin for his drafts, well, we never went 14-48 under his helm.  I get it, you like Caldwell, I actually like him and the team likes him which is why he is around. But yes, this is the Tom Coughlin era and yes, he essentially is the boss now. 

 

Hes not a consultant, hes not Khans golfing buddy who pops his head in from time to time and gives him an opinion of the team. Hes making the decisions, hes drafting, hes doing FA, hes assembling the roster. Hes the VP Of Football Operations. Caldwell works right under him, both will work together, but Coughlin has the final say.
