Schefter Says: Eagles Seek Permission to Interview Tom Coughlin

[Squire]

....holy crap. I can't even imagine Fire Marshall Tom coaching the Eagles.


Edit: Schefter.

[J_Cuz31]

who did they need permission from, his wife?

[JuTMSY4]

I thought the same thing:

The Eagles must receive permission from the Giants for the interview because Coughlin resigned as New York's coach with one year left on his contract. The Giants, however, will not stand in the way of Coughlin interviewing with the NFC East rival Eagles, sources told Schefter.

It's one of three things, as far as I am concerned

....holy crap. I can't even imagine Fire Marshall Tom coaching the Eagles.

1) Cofflin checks off Lurie's "fatherly" figure/leader of men box

2) He wants to pick Cofflin's ancient brain for knowledge of Luke Skywalker's whereabouts

3) He wants more input on McAdoo

Probably the guy that keeps his Blood Pressure in check.

It doesn't matter who the coach of the team is, we're cursed/choked

Coughlin knows Luke's whereabouts. He's guarding JPP's missing fingers.

oh for crissakes, you poor saps.

IG has been saying it since 1997. Jeff Lurie is the real problem with this organization. Everything else - everything - are merely symptoms of the Jeff Lurie disease. Banner, Howie, Modrak pick/Reid pick, organizational dysfunction, Chip Kelly, keeping Reid too long, all of it. Jeffrey Lurie.

The best and perhaps only hope of a trophy in Philly starts with Lurie selling the team - or losing ownership through natural causes.

[Riccardo]

Hahahah

wooo!

[McCarthy12]

"You poor saps." Lol. Which LA team are you going to root for?

[Eagle In Ohio]

Again, I'm in the minority

But I wouldn't be mad at the hire. He's a good football coach, who his players always play hard for, who is able to have a "my way or the highway" mentality, while still being able to know when to back off and let his players be themselves. I don't think they'll hire him, but I wouldn't be upset it they did.

[AthensEagle]

Don't care about all that. I don't want a Giants coach. Bad enough having a Cowboy RB.

[Eagle In Ohio]

I hate the Vaggies as much as anyone

Don't care about all that. I don't want a Giants coach. Bad enough having a Cowboy RB.

But I also want a good coach, not some bullshit. If it's a former Vaggie, then so be it.

[AthensEagle]

Still nope. But that's me.

[McCarthy12]

I'm not sure he's all that great of a coach any more. He's in his 70's too. Seems like he's just bitter.
