Tom Coughlin meets with 49ers about coach job

His final words as he went weren’t about himself or his situation. He knows what it takes to win the division and win in the playoffs. He, along with Malcolm Jenkins, helped stabilize a position that had been out of whack since Brian Dawkins left following the 2008 season. Since Coughlin stepped down with one year left, the Giants still hold the rights to his contract, hence the request needed to be made. Even though I have been a big Coughlin fan, I was as frustrated as most other Giant’s fans were.

The Eagles will meet with Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson this Sunday, and after an interview with Coughlin on Monday, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie will travel to Houston for the National Football League owners meetings, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports. Among his top offseason moves were signing Incognito and quarterback Tyrod Taylor in free agency and acquiring running back LeSean McCoy in a trade that sent linebacker Kiko Alonso to Philadelphia. He had 10 winning seasons, including seven years with 10 or more victories, and led his teams to the playoffs nine times, going 12-7.

Rumors have started to swirl around ever since the regular season ended. There’s a chance Lurie and Howie Roseman expect to let Bradford walk, in which case Shurmur’s connection doesn’t matter. Whaley joined the Bills in 2010, when he was hired as an assistant general manager under Buddy Nix.

If the Eagles want to hire Pederson, they’ll have to wait until the Chiefs lose.

That’s not changing, no matter the challenges that approach seems to present in winning a Super Bowl. As coach of a divisional rival, Coughlin has coached against the Eagles more than two dozen times. This is a critical aspect of the job for a head coach, as players need to buy into what a coach preaches in order for the team to experience any success. When he got to a Super Bowl, he lost to the team Coughlin beat twice for the title.

The Browns confirmed they interviewed New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia on Saturday-the fifth candidate they’ve met with since firing Mike Pettine six days prior. Before they hired Adam Gase, the Miami Dolphins were rumored to be interested.

I’m guessing if Coughlin were to land the Eagles job, he would bring in Steve Spagnuolo to run the defense.

Tom Coughlin is reportedly interviewing Tuesday with the San Francisco 49ers for their head coaching job.

Judging by some fans’ reaction on Twitter and various social media sites, it would not be a very popular decision. Coughlin also has been largely absolved of the Giants’ personnel mistakes over the last five years.
