There was no named source.  Just floated on twitter by one talking head and then beat to death by seven others based on the one tweet. 

It's certainly possible it's true, it's certainly possible it's a load of crap as well.

Jeff Passan just tweeted about his podcast like a week ago (I didn't listen to it I don't have iTunes) saying Couglin wanted to move on from Bortles but he was more or less coerced into keeping him by Caldwell and Marrone. If someone wants to listen to it it might give more to the story, but his tweet definitely made it sound like Coughlin wasn't a fan.

EDIT: Hmm could have sworn it was Passan but I don't see it on his timeline...it was one of the major dudes tho...

So the Yahoo NFL reporter knows a pats staffer. Pats staffer asks TC about Bortles and TC has only good things to say about Bortles.  The pats staffer then just makes the leap that Caldwell and Marrone must have talked TC into feeling this way and he wouldn't have arrived there on his own. 

LOL

The lines of correlation there are so weak it's freaking ridiculous. 

I have know clue where TC landed or currently lands on BB5 -- but that "story" is nonsense.
