26CornerBlitz Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Was he a QB at one point? By a loose definition. Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 @RapSheet #Eagles talks with Tom Coughlin have intensified, as well. This could all go down very quickly. He seems to have wrapped his head around it There are "ongoing discussions" between Tom Coughlin and the #Eagles as we speak. Some questions to answer. But they are far down the line. oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 @RapSheet I don't get the sense #49ers have given up on Tom Coughlin just yet. Still have Dirk Koetter, Mike Shanahan, Chip Kelly out there for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 @RapSheet I don't get the sense #49ers have given up on Tom Coughlin just yet. Still have Dirk Koetter, Mike Shanahan, Chip Kelly out there for them Chip's off the market now, having signed with those very same 49ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 He'd look great on The Bills sideline in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 He'd look great on The Bills sideline in 2017. He was chatting it up with someone in Bills gear at the combine, not that it means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 He'd look great on The Bills sideline in 2017. As much respect as I have for Tom Coughlin, appointing a 70 year old as Head Coach is not a move a forward thinking, progressive, organisation makes.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Completely agree!! You don't need 71 YO coaches. Coughlin was a very good disciplinarian, he seemed to have had more losing seasons than winning years. The only reason he ever lasted as long as he did was every 5 years or so right about the time he was ready to be fired, he'd get lucky the team would get hot at the right time and win the Super Bowl and that bought him another 3 or 4 years of middle of the road. If the story is true about being forced out, I'd say it's about time. He'd look great on The Bills sideline in 2017.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 @SNFaizalKhamisa Tom Coughlin walking RIGHT by Giants President and CEO John Mara after his exit presser Interesting. Pretty evident that he wasn't happy with his departure. @AroundTheNFL Tom Coughlin on Giants departure: 'Do I agree with the move? Of course not' http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000640651/article/coughlin-on-giants-departure-do-i-agree-with-the-move-of-course-not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Marv coached The Bills till he was 72. Further evidence that hiring Coughlin at 71 would be a terrible idea. It would be great to have a coach last longer than 3 years some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the story is true about being forced out, I'd say it's about time. Just to clarify, since your post was obviously only from your recollection: 20 years as NFL Head Coach: 10 winning seasons 8 losing seasons 2 seasons of .500 9 Playoff appearances 4 Championship games 2 Superbowl wins (also won a SuperBowl as an assistant coach) Playoff record 12-7 He only had 1 losing season in his first 9 years with the Giants and then of course finished with 3 losing seasons (the last three years). I'm not saying he's the greatest coach around, but there are a lot of coaches and teams who would be happy with that track record. It was probably time for the Giants to move on, but don't diminish what the guy accomplished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Just to clarify, since your post was obviously only from your recollection: 20 years as NFL Head Coach: 10 winning seasons 8 losing seasons 2 seasons of .500 9 Playoff appearances 4 Championship games 2 Superbowl wins (also won a SuperBowl as an assistant coach) Playoff record 12-7 He only had 1 losing season in his first 9 years with the Giants and then of course finished with 3 losing seasons (the last three years). I'm not saying he's the greatest coach around, but there are a lot of coaches and teams who would be happy with that track record. It was probably time for the Giants to move on, but don't diminish what the guy accomplished. Their personnel was really lacking the last few seasons. For a long time they just kept losing great players all over their defense and on the offensive line, guys like strahan, osi, tuck, diehl, and it kept getting worse. I don't blame coughlin much for what happened there. His staff coached circles around ours this year. Edited March 2, 2016 by Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
