Who has said it's a done deal? Dilla's tweet said BL will be the next coach. Not that contracts have been signed, not that money's been agreed upon, but that the team is moving in that direction, and that's all.

For all we know, it could take a week to get everything done, especially if it includes working a severance deal with some people currently on the payroll, if'n you catch my drift.

If Shad and or Tony are dead-set on making BL the next coach, Dilla may not be wrong. But nowhere did he specify that anything was final, just eventual.

However, let's not sit there and act like this team has not failed miserably in trying to recapture the consistency that Coughlin spoiled this franchise, city and fanbase with in the 90's. He's got the hardware to show for his football intelligence. He also has the fact that during Khan's 11 years of miserable ownership that he was at least in the building when they were one quarter away from a Superbowl appearance.

...and scared all those players away. Messiah to some is pariah to others.

Not sure how much all of that was on him. I am pretty sure Coughlin has always given off that "Chaotic Good" vibe, right? Like, he's got good intentions, he means well, he just has questionable methods is all. LOL. 

At the very least. It does showcase that he was at least in the building when this team tasted any level of consistency or success in one single season. There was clearly a cast of characters in that locker room though with gigantic egos. Some justified. Some not so much. 

The biggest talker was Ramsey. I think there were a few instances that involved Telvin Smith (get my world in order, which he didn't), Smoot I think on being late or something to that effect? Then you had the debacle with Ngakoue and his contract situation. 

What did Coughlin in I think was Bortles extension. He probably had to sign off on that. From the other player's perspectives I would have been offended and infuriated as well. With that said. The antics and behavior of Fournette and Ramsey were inexcusable. Throwing punches in games, pushing your coach away on the sideline, just being a total diva. Ramsey is very, very fortunate that Stafford was able to bail him out this past weekend because there's a good chance had they went to OT that Brady pulls that win out of his [BLEEP] and people will remember it was Evans smoking Ramsey one-on-one to set that opportunity up.
