Why the hell would 18 year old kids want to play for Coughlin? That’s a good way to send your program swirling right down the ol’ crapper.
Instead, Khan chose to be a douche.
Aren't you like a mega pro capitalist/libertarian type?
If so what would your rationale be for any employer to keep an employee around that they didn't want to keep employed due to past conduct?
Oh wait, I forgot your a tough talking guy who ignores everyone who hurts your emotional pee pee so you won't see this unless someone quotes me.
I'm tired of this guy. Can't he just move to Florida and leave us all alone?
Huh, never seen a walker on the sidelines before.Belongs on the sideline. I’m sure he’ll get a lot of calls
Based on the two recent arbitration rulings, and the NFLPA statements, the Jags were becoming toxic to free agents. Kahn was absolutely correct in letting him go. It made a strong statement saying that type of vindictive / punitive behavior is not part of Jag culture moving forward compared to a limp-wristed "were going in a different direction" type statement after the season ends.Nonsense. There were two weeks left in the season, and reports are that he was looking to walk away at the end of the year. The Jaguars could just have let the season play out and given Coughlin a gentle nudge afterwards, if needed.

No. I’m implying that at all. The man can certainly coach. He’s won Super Bowls. I’m saying that I don’t think his hard-assed style would mesh well with 18 year olds at the college level. I think if he still wants to coach, it’s NFL or bust.Are you implying that coughlin can not coach?

Can’t hurt that he has his sons with him.He's from a completely different era. So old school and rigid.
To me the amazing thing is BB is only 6 years younger, but relates to players in a very different way- in a much better way.
Bill is a much better manager of his people and knows that the only difference between generations is what they’re looking for out of their work. Coughlin has more of the military style of people/personnel management than BB. As you can see by the results, it’s not ineffective. But it’s not going to reach a generation of Gen Z college kids. We’re only beginning to study them for employment purposes since they’re just starting to enter the workforce, but they seem to be looking to be connected, both with each other and the outside world, in their work. They like feedback, which Coughlin will certainly give, and rewards for success, which he certainly will not unless they go all the way. Running a football team is honestly a lot like running any business when you adjust for the fact that the egos are obviously going to be bigger on a football team. I just don’t see Coughlin being a good fit at the college level anymore. Even Saban has to do some of that rah-rah/pep rally crap for recruiting and retention purposes.He's from a completely different era. So old school and rigid.

Not surprising, they hated Tom. You make it personal & the majority of players are riding w their teammates.
