Read an article that TC may be released in JAX after this season, and that he still wants to stay in football.
Would the Giants offer him a return to a position in the senior management level, and if so, would he take it or is there too much bad blood still?
What contributions if any could TC make for the Giants?
Knowing Mara's value on "sentimentality" this is probably the type of move that he would make, but I just don't see TC wanting to come back unless he was given a lot of control of personnel and coaches.
Thoughts?
I would say TC has a pretty good track record of turning teams around. JAX (1st time), NYG, JAX (2nd time).
Just seems like a Mara-esque type move. But what would Coughlin bring to the table and in what capacity?
time to move on from the past
2011 and 2007 is a long time ago in football years
I also love TC as well but I'd prefer a fresh set of eyes on this mess.
Weren't they in the AFCCC 2 years ago after a series of dismal seasons?

This is my thought as well. Time to figure out the future. Don't go back to the old guard at this point.
That's swell. The team he supposedly runs isn't very good.
Yes, they were. What exactly were his contributions to that team? No one's quite sure, despite Shad Khan giving him tongue baths. What have the Jaguars done since then?

You make a fair point. I don't know if they'd be better off had Foles not been injured or not, but as Britt stated he still is a proven winner with good football acumen. Much better than it seems what we have now.
Hmmm, that's interesting-when the Jags made the AFC title game, the Coughlin Excuse Brigade was telling me what a brilliant hire Coughlin made with his Syracuse buddy Doug Marrone.
This is probably the best post of the thread
No offense Oscar, but telling a man what he should do with his life is pretty dam presumptuous.
Don’t want him back with the Giants, got it, kind of agree. But Coughlin seems to be a high energy person, Why don’t we let him decide when it s time to move on from what he loves.
I can remember how Gene and others would crow about how one of the reasons Coughlin was better than Fassel was because of his indispensable input into scouting. Just look at how their drafting improved after 2002!
Funny, I stopped hearing that chatter after 2012.
The biggest reason would be to have someone that keeps John Mara out of decisions and gets him to just pay the checks and can accept being just informed of decisions and not for approval.
Wait, wasn't Mr. Hog Molly supposed to be that guy?
I do hope Coughlin comes back. I'd love to see him inducted into the Ring of Honor. Then someone should take him to a nice dinner and then to the airport the next morning.
Exactly..and with this fanbase..stuck in the past. Ashame

I would be in favor him or someone else who has a few championships on his resume and understands the importance of controlling the lines of scrimmage.

You honestly think Dave is calling all the shots? Seriously? As for TC, three times Jacksonville has been to a AFC Championship game guess who was present? You may not respect him but that fan-base was thrilled with him coming back. They actually have a lot of nice pieces. If they get good production from Foles they may make a run.

We didn't stop hearing about it, they just blamed Reese.
No one in that fan base is thrilled with Coughlin any more, not after he ran off Jalen Ramsey.
On what basis exactly are you so certain decisions are being made by anyone but Gettleman? And, if so, why would he put up with that?

If he's doing such a great job in Jax, why would they cut him loose?

I believe Mara wanted Eli to finish his contract. Dave tried to assemble the best possible team to support that. It did not go as planned and they are moving forward.
I don't know what TC's futures hold in Jax. I only know he is a winner at all his stops and highly thought of by "The two Bills".
Getting rid of Ramsay will prove to be a good move long term. The salary relief, two first rounders that are getting higher by the week and someone who is going to even a bigger PITA in the future.

I never said he was doing a great job as I don't follow them closely. I do know they have drafted some nice players and get rid of a headache. They have a lot of picks next year. I believe the window is only opening up for them if Foles plays well.
And yet no one wanted him as a coach. That should tell you something.
