Tom Coughlin FIRED by Jags

[Stern]

With Coughlin gone, Marrone has to be next to go

Good. Jag’s fans are happy

I bet Saint Doug is packing up the house as we speak!

Adios Doug MORON

I know a team in NY that needs a better GM

Coughlin should not be hired by any NFL team. How he treated the players was embarrassing. Over 700k in fines and ran off the teams most electric player (Ramsey who IS worth the trouble).

yikes...

Khan was also cited in the report. A GM is a reflection of the owner.

 

[Alsacs]

Giants should rehire him as their HC.

Also Douglas will be gone in 2 games now.

I'm rooting for Dougie. I've long said he's a .500 coach.

Currently he's below that. Needs to build the record back up.

I got out my 2012 SU media guide and looked at the page on Coach Marrone. It showed a picture of him with his wife and three children. The article didn't identify the ages of the kids but they appeared to be about ages 4-7 or something close to that. Dug had a chance to raise those kids in one place until they were adults by staying here and helping us into the transition to the ACC. As a successful alumnus coach, he could have a spent the rest of his career here if he wanted to. (And I think he would have been a good enough coach make us at least a respectable ACC program and at least an occasional contender in our difficult division.)

Instead he shuffled off to Buffalo, then walked away form that job too, thinking he had the jets job in hand. he got a line coach job in Jacksonville and eventually the head job. Now he's about to lost that. I wonder what his wife and family think about having to move again.

OL coach?

Good God no, his time has passed.

He has his foundation. Time to just go and do good things for people.

The millions of dollars he got from those jobs might help, but maybe money isn't an important thing to him and his family.

Sucks for Tom. He is an OUTSTANDING human being. The charity work he does is over the top. As a member of this SU Football community and a CNY native, can’t help but feel for Tom. He has so many opportunities to expand his philanthropic ways. I’d love for him to get a “consultant” role with Dino. Would be awesome to have his wisdom into our fold.

The GMen should’ve never fired the guy. It’s been nothing but a raging dumpster fire since he got canned.

Lastly, the Jags have probably the worst owner in all of the NFL. The guy simply doesn’t get it. Probably a blessing in disguise Tom!

Is it the only important thing?

True.

He could have been a legacy coach.

But it seems that his lack of patience made that impossible.

I respect his ability and I hoped he would be our coach for many years.

You are so wrong about Shad Khan lol

Very far from it, but it does provide them a lot of opportunity. I'd rather be a wealthy jerk than a poor jerk.

I think the cash in his bank account has cushioned the blow.

If Coughlin would learn to worry about football and not all of his stupid rules, he'd be fine. Gotta know how to pick your battles.
