New Chenelly Tweet - Coughlin an option

[BUNCH OF MULARKEY]

Marv lied about his age because people would think he was too old for the job.

@jchenelly joe can you elaborate on the Coughlin mention?

  @nickellion79 He has strong ties to key decision-makers at OBD. He's been behind the scenes at times.

  @jchenelly very interesting. Do you think as a coach or front office type? Is Whaley in danger you think?

  @nickellion79 I think Doug Whaley stays in place.

• @ty_boe He is liked at OBD & likes those there. The connection is real. Surely there'd be other options. Not saying a decisions been made.

  @ty_boe Yes & HC; although, the whole idea of a football czar is not dead.

What if he signed Ryan Nassib in FA

Nassib's #1 fan here. Let's give it a whirl! Draft a QB high as well.

[John from Riverside]

Do we also think the football czar thing might be in play with Coughlin?

[26CornerBlitz]

We're back down the rumor rabbit hole with this guy again.

[sullim4]

I would be fine with Coughlin in a senior advisory role, i.e. doing the football stuff that Russ Brandon claims he isn't doing. I actually think he would be a good fit in that kind of position. He knows how a winning franchise operates and how to foster that attitude. He knows his way around the league and knows the major players. The Pegulas need someone who can guide them on building a winner - Russ has proven over the last 15 years that he knows nothing about it.

 

I would not want Coughlin as a head coach, or as general manager. At his age, he is not a long term solution in either slot.

I don't want Coughlin either.

Agree on everything.

[Nihilarian]

Interesting stuff and the man does seem like he left the NY Giants with something to prove.

 

Another thought is that If there is one man who knows how to beat the Patriots It's Coughlin. The guy does favor a 4-3 defensive scheme and likes to build a stout run game. He also knows what assistant coaches to hire and although it was his defense that failed him in 2015, 30th in pts allowed, 32 in yards allowed. The NY Giants kept the same DC in Steve Spagnuolo and that defense is much better this year 7th in pts, 14th in yards.

 

I'd be for hiring him for whatever he wants to do. Buffalo is currently 7th in team penalties and although it's not as bad as last season in #2, those damn things can kill a drive or stop fast. Coughlin would bring some serious discipline to Buffalo.

[Green Lightning]

We've done well with old coaches before. Tom's a winner. Why the hell not?

[JoeF]

Does Coughlin's age really matter when the Bills average tenure during the playoff drought is less than 3 years....Coughlin has a five year stint in him, easily.

[DCbillsfan]

He would bring discipline no doubt. My concern would be who could he bring in to be his coordinators. The Giants kept most of his staff if not all.

[TheFunPolice]

what if Pegula or Russ is feeding misinformation to find out who the rat is who seems to want to leak crap to the media before big gamrs?

[iinii]

Pegs wants yes men. Coughlin doesn't play that game. Next.

This dude nailed Rex, Roman, Hughes and others before anyone else. My guess is TT is inactive; I am really thinking it is Coughlin

 

LOL

The inactive list Sunday could be telling. #Bills #BillsMafia And Tom Coughlin really is an option.

 

CLICK BAIT ALERT Edited December 14, 2016 by reddogblitz

[Jamie Nails]

How can it be click bait when there is nothing to click?

[OhDozeBills]

I'd be so discouraged if we made Coughlin our next coach. He's past his prime and just too old. The Giants are having a pretty nice year without him which says something.

Where do you get that from? He hired Tim Murray, didn't he? TM is far from being a Yes man

[2020 Our Year For Sure]

I like this. We'll at least be prepared each week and take the game seriously again, and he'll be able to put a staff together.

[jr1]

the Giants were awful from 2013-15

Why put this shyt on a Bills board? The board argues over a team we all love and you bring up this?

Why not? First amendment.
