“Another man on a racing bike, in the words of Coughlin, "comes out of nowhere and clips the front of my bike." Coughlin, who was Jacksonville's first head coach and general manager, said he thought he was aware of his surroundings, until being blindsided.
Coughlin, 73, first went home before his family convinced him to go to the Baptist Health emergency room...”
Former New York Giants coach and Jaguars executive Tom Coughlin fractured four ribs, slightly punctured his lung and needed stitches in his head after a bicycle accident last weekend in Jacksonville, Florida, that left him hospitalized for a night, he confirmed to ESPN.
...
Coughlin, 73, first went home before his family convinced him to go to the Baptist Health emergency room, where he underwent X-rays and a CT scan. Doctors told Coughlin he faces a four- to six-week recovery.
Broken ribs, slightly punctured lung, stitches on the head...and he goes home, and needs to be CONVINCED by his family to go to the ER.
Walks the walk, talks the talk, falls down and rubs some dirt on it.
