“Many executives sound like whiny schoolchildren during games, slamming the tabletops or blaming the referees for every play that does not go their way. But Coughlin was not like that. Sure, he cried out for a few holding calls, but overall his attention was focused on his team, exhorting the Jaguars defensive linemen to “get up in there” on runs and defensive backs to close the gaps with receivers. There was plenty of colorful language and muttering under his breath. Surely, he was holding back because of his surroundings, making you wonder what he was like on a sideline...
He was like the friend you have over to watch the game and then hope the kids don’t come into the room to hear him swearing at the TV. Simply put, he cares as much as you do...”

While we had some bad teams, I put the bulk of that on the FO and terrible drafting proven by the lack of players signed to 2nd contracts.

He's probably forgotten more football than most of us will ever know.
