Tom Coughlin revisited

[The Huddler]

not as HC

[Mr. Scot]

Yes.  Why would Coughlin want to take a reduced role in Carolina?  Like I said he has nothing left to prove.  He should just retire after the Giants finally put him out of his misery.

 

A front office job isn't a reduced role.  Technically his current job is a reduced role from what he had before.

 

 

not as HC

 

Check the OP again.

 

 

Not totally opposed to it, I just want someone other than Holmgren/Parcells/Coughlin whispering into the ear of our next HC.  Want to come in and work with DG on longterm outlooks for the Panthers....I'm cool, however I'm nervous about the "old NFL" guys and how they view the HC position.

 

I could be talked into it though.

 

As far as the head coach goes, if Rivera is gone I think there's a good possibility of Gary Kubiak getting another shot as a head coach with us.  That, or maybe Kyle Shanahan getting his first opportunity.  I would mind the influence of a guy like Coughlin on either of them.

meh. he's 70. no bias against 70-year-olds, but there has to be other guys out there that can do just as good of a job, or better.

Honestly, the more I think about the idea, the more I like it. 

 

 

If you do say so yourself.

No to being a HC. I do like the idea of having a winning (161-135 with 2 Super Bowls) HC in personal somewhere. I also like the idea of having someone that can sit down with The Gett Man and call him out on his BS without worrying about losing their job.

Colonel Coughlin demands respect and is a stern disclipinarian.just attend one of his team meetings two minutes early and fined out what happens.so this is not an ideal consultant for Rivera,imo,maybe Harbaugh but once again not Rivera.furthermore,i believe this would be more of a deterrent than to our advantage in regards to recuiting a possible HC such as Bevell.

[Goondal]

No thanks.  I want a hungry, young, creative offensive mind.  I know the offensive part will likely not happen but if we can get the other three we could be in business.

If you need to hire a coach to coach your head coach maybe you are barking up the wrong tree.

Itt people don't read the op

He's up there, but this would be a less strenuous job than his current one.

 

Mind you, I'd love to get a guy like Marc Ross, but the Giants have already promoted him in an effort to keep him.  You might lure Ross with a title like Assistant GM (which I'd be okay with) but probably nothing less.

 

Either way, I think a couple of years of Coughlin's influence could be useful.

 

[Mr. Scot]

If you need to hire a coach to coach your head coach maybe you are barking up the wrong tree.

 

it's common for first time head coaches to hire an experienced head coach as a coordinator to help then learn the ropes.

 

And let's be honest, Rivera could use it (though I'd still rather he be let go).

 

 

Itt people don't read the op

 

T'would seem

 

Let's be clear folks.  We're not not NOT talking about Coughlin as a head coaching option.  This is about a front office or consulting role.

My god the huddle lacks reading comprehension skills.

[PantherPhann89]

I'd prefer a younger HC with a broader imagination and quicker adaptability.
