Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 "The former New York Giants head coach, and 2-time Super Bowl winner, has a very healthy market. Coughlin interviewed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday and ESPN’s John Clayton told WGR 550 in Buffalo that Coughlin is also interested in the Bills job, suggesting that Coughlin favors the Buffalo gig." http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonydimoro/2016/12/30/where-rex-ryan-jim-harbaugh-tom-coughlin-josh-mcdaniels-and-other-coaches-will-land-in-2017/#2b4a409a5c74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Favours the buffalo gig? But I thought that no one would come near this dysfunctional tire fire cause they only give coaches 2 years, Whaley will have roster control, there's no talent, they left Lynn hanging g out in the wind at the PC this week, and Russ Brandon is not fired?

TDTT Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) This is clearly a case of Tom Coughlin using the Bills and the Media to get a more competitive offer from the team he is really interested in /s Edited December 31, 2016 by dpolaski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 There was a report out of Jax yesterday that Coughlin is not going to sign with the Jags. Impossible to say how accurate that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Honestly, how many years of coaching does Coughlin have left in him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Honestly, how many years of coaching does Coughlin have left in him? Probably 3 at most, which I dont like about him. However, knowing that, you can plan a transition (like the Giants did) to allow for some continuity, as opposed to a firing and rebuild. With the comments out of Dareus, McCoy, and Scott, I'm coming around to the idea of bringing Coughlin in to set the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the comments out of Dareus, McCoy, and Scott, I'm coming around to the idea of bringing Coughlin in to set the tone. I don't hate the idea of him getting things rolling for the next guy if there if they are prepared for the transition, but that's obviously a question with no answer at this time. For now I'd prefer getting a younger guy who could theoretically stick around for a long time. Granted, hitting on a coach would be a miracle in and of itself.

Granted, hitting on a coach would be a miracle in and of itself.as I just posted in another thread, the Bills were able to get Wade Phillips in as D.C. Because he was promised the HC job when Marv retired. I could see a similar thing with coughlin agreeing to do 2 years, then handing off to Lynn (or whom ever), so to speak...

Prickly Pete Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) I'm not real excited about Coughlin, but maybe he can Chuck Knox the team into contention, and then as long a Whaley doesn't follow him up with his own Kay Stephenson, maybe they can build upon the foundation laid down by Coughlin. This team seems to have a precedent for every losing situation. Edited December 31, 2016 by HoF Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 funny that the national media calls the teams a dumpster fire. If the coughln is true this will be two times a coach picked the Bills over others. Three times if you believe all the interest Marrone supposedly had Probably 3 at most, which I dont like about him. However, knowing that, you can plan a transition (like the Giants did) to allow for some continuity, as opposed to a firing and rebuild. With the comments out of Dareus, McCoy, and Scott, I'm coming around to the idea of bringing Coughlin in to set the tone. I agree. Something is rotten in that locker room. It won't be for long if coughlin comes in. I wonder if they could set up a coughlin for now with Lynn the heir apparent. It is not the norm but ....

Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 http://www.news4jax.com/sports/nfl/jaguars/jaguars-coughlin-moving-on "A reported meeting on Wednesday included Tom and some of the Jaguars brass, but it’s unclear whether General Manager Dave Caldwell was present. Either way, the two sides apparently have moved on at this point, only to return to the discussion if something drastically changes." Sweet, we need a guy like Tom and hopefully its him.
