Quote:I watched the entire interview live and I know the exact quote you are talking about. It was directed at Shad Khan of the power structure. Coughlin, Caldwell and Marrone, when something isnt agreed upon, Coughlin will have the final say. You are blatantly denying facts now.

<p style="color:rgb(70,70,70);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:16px;">*Unclear until this morning was the exact power structure regarding Coughlin and Caldwell, Khan said Thursday that Marrone and Caldwell will report to Coughlin. That means Coughlin will ultimately be the one with the final say on free agents, which players are drafted, etc.

<p style="color:rgb(70,70,70);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:16px;">“Obviously, Tom would be making the final decision,” Khan said.

<p style="color:rgb(70,70,70);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:16px;">*Khan said Coughlin was not present for interviews with Marrone or the other candidates for the franchise’s head coaching vacancy. Coughlin did tell Khan that Marrone would be one of his top two choice for the job. Khan did not disclose who the other name was but did say it was a candidate that had been interviewed.

 

<p style="color:rgb(70,70,70);font-family:'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size:16px;">*Coughlin said a front office job is the role he “anticipated and wanted” at this point in his career and does not have the desire to coach again.
