Quote:Yeah, Coughlin has already blocked Marrone from hiring somebody because of something that happened nearly 12 years ago. Nearly 12 years.. That just screams stubborn and a "I don't care what you think, I'll do what I want regardless" attitude. Not a good look in my opinion.

 

It's going to be interesting watching the way this board is going to spin things, if this team starts winning next year. People are going to act like it's all because of Coughlin, when the fact of the matter is, it'll be because of the roster Caldwell built and because the coaching couldn't possibly be any worse than Bradley. Coughlin isn't going to change much in one off season in regards to the talent on this team. His main effect at first, will be setting a standard in accountability and discipline.

 

Yes, Caldwell plays a part in that 14-48 record because he drafted the talent. The talent is clear though. It's on the Head Coach and coaching staff to produce wins. Bradley and the coaching staff failed in that area. Caldwell's job was to rebuild the roster and he has did the majority of that. Yes, there's still a couple pieces this team needs, but the majority of the core is in place, because of him.

 

I'm happy that Coughlin is on board, because he will absolutely set a standard and put in place the discipline this team needs. I just hope hes learned from some of his previous mistakes running things. I really hope he isn't going to be a power hungry being that slowly brings negativity into the building with a type of "my crap doesn't stink attitude".
