AFJF Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just saw on twitter that it was his for the taking. Apparently wasn't thrilled about Giants unwilling to let his staff join him. No idea why he'd pass up a chance to work with Mark Sanchez either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Sorry for being thick but what was the "oh wait"? Didn't hiring McAdoo keep Coughlin out of the division? Yes, and that was probably a good thing for the Vagiants but the Jets let Rex and staff shuffle off to Buffalo so we will see how that works for both teams... Edit: Not saying I wanted Marty as HC (no way), I am happy with Bowles so far, and the Jets had the better record but the Bill blocked our playoff bid so Rex gets another chance and it looks like he is going all in, should be entertaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I am so, so pissed that didn't pan out. I had this whole series of prepared text messages to send to all my friends who are Giants fans, and they took it away from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the wrong thought process that Shotty used to be no his HC aspirations. Jobs, opportunities are hard to find. There's no guarantee you find a better job or that they'll want you down ththe road.

There's no guarantee you find a better job or that they'll want you down ththe road. I disagree. Coughlin isn't desperate for work. Why take a job that he'll regret? He doesn't want another losing situation to replace the one he had in NY. He's not stupid. And his wife didn't want him to take the SF job. He should lay low and take the right job at the right time. Relax for a year or whatever. Tenn is still vacant I believe. Brian Schotty? He basically followed your thought process if anything. But how does he compare to Tom Coughlin?

At Coughlin's age, taking a year off is not an option. Most teams normally wouldn't hire a man his age anyway, but due to his record he's an exception to the rule. He has to take advantage of his unique position this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're saying he won't get any offers next year? I disagree. Age is a factor, but he won't panic and take a job if he thinks it's a sh*tty situation. He's old but not stupid.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Coughlin is smart, he knows Reese is cluleless and will put together another crappy team. Giants will go 5-11, and the Giants will be forced to clean house once again. Coughlin will then be able to hire all those guys that get fired by the Giants. The Circus is back in town, thankfully its a GIANT circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want to coach there are only 32 jobs and at his age, very few teams that would hire you. The age factor works both ways and age isn't a good enough reason to take a job he knows will make him (and his family) unhappy. Bottom line. Maybe his best offer won't be a HC gig. He shouldn't panic and take something he doesn't want is all I'm saying. He's doing the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Eagles have no qb and the roster was wrecked by Chip Kelly. Philly is not the type of market you want to lose in and they are on a collision course with 2-14 next season. No brainer for Coughlin stay away.

Bottom line. Maybe his best offer won't be a HC gig. He shouldn't panic and take something he doesn't want is all I'm saying. He's doing the right thing. If he wanted to step down from coaching, I think he would have retired from the Giants instead of being let go. Of course the decision is Coughlin's, but he is taking a risk turning down the Eagles if he wants to still coach in the NFL. The time that Coughlin could take a nice, laid back, "Well let me sit back and wait for the right situation" is over. At this point, he should realize he has a one year special window of opportunity to be an NFL coach that probably won't happen again. If he dislikes the Eagles so much that he would rather not coach than be their coach, that's his decision. As long as he realizes that he might not get another opportunity.

Coughlin won 2 SBs. The Eagles were wiling to hand him the job because they saw up close what he can do. I think teams will absolutely want Coughlin for the next couple of years. Age is his biggest negative right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yes, and at Coughlin's advanced age, (70 by the team the season starts), his two Super Bowls are the only reason he is being considered by anyone at all. Realistically, you might have the guy for another four or five years, then he'll have to call it quits. If he's going to get another coaching job, it absolutely has to be this year, he doesn't have another year to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
