Bull crap. All he did was have a little more of an open door policy and chat with players about their family...

LOL

I lived in NYC and read it in the Daily News every day, pal. 

The man was under heat to dial it back or lose his job in two separate seasons. And - as I've already explained (not that it matters with you) he was not allowed to be GM/HC/OC in NY because that's one major reason he was fired here. He was a control freak. That's a pretty giant freakin difference in how he was allowed to run things between Jax and NYG. 

He was at his best when he had good coaches around him and he played his role as HC only. He stopped doing that in Jax and it was his undoing. 

I can't believe I'm wasting my time explaining this [BLEEP].

Exactly right, and if you ask Coughlin, he'd probably agree as well.  That's why he never pushed to control personnel in NY.  He coached what was provided, and won 2 Super Bowls as a result.

The game hasn't passed Coughlin by.  The guy watched film the entire time he was out of football, and stayed in contact with the game through the league post NY until he came back to Jax.  His role here is to oversee football operations, and not to take it over.  The guy knows what is required to build a quality football product, and is destined for Canton when he decides he's done.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
