Oh and Engram, someone give that guy a new contract.

NFL Research: Evan Engram became just the sixth Jaguars tight end to eclipse the 100-yard mark and joined Todd Christensen, Kellen Winslow, Shannon Sharpe, Darren Waller, and Travis Kelce as the only tight ends since 1950 with 10-plus receptions, 150-plus receiving yards, and two-plus receiving TDs in a game.

I get it, a lot of you guys have mad respect for Coughlin.  I just don't.  

But I can understand why you respect him so much.  I didn't grow up in Jacksonville.  I grew up a Marino die hard and I lived most my life in the rocky mountains.  I didn't move to the Jacksonville area untill 2007.  And that's when I became a die hard Jaguar fan.

So for me, Coughlin was never someone to be praised.  Yeah, he was a good HC for the Giants, but that's all he is for me (and probably many others).  The effect Coughlin had as the EVP for Shad Khan is all most of us 2007 and beyond jaguars fans know.  

As an older guy, I know he's a decent person and a good family man.  And I respect that.  But that doesn't mean I can't lament and criticize his professional failures when he came back to the Jaguars.  It's fair to praise the private person and yet criticize the public man's failures.  

That's just how life works.

I was born in 1985. I never really watched Walter Payton play or the 70s Steelers but I still have respect for them. There is way more out there than just what we have experienced in our lifetime. 

So while you hate Coughlin for what he did in 2015 or 2017, the history for him goes further back and he's one of the most important people for this organization. You also may not remember Jimmy Smith or Keenan or Fred or Brunell but their impact on this franchise will last forever.

I respect the opinions of those who wish to praise Coughlin's career in it's entirety.

I chose to focus on the part of his career that effected my time as a fan of the team.

We can agree to disagree.

Again, at the end of the day, his blunders worked out in our favor, so it's not like I've got pitchforks in my garage that I sharpen every night after the kids go to bed...
