    When the last play is run and the cleats are hung up for good what most players remember are the hard ass coaches who pushed them.

    i'll take my cue on coughlin from his former players, thanks. and most of them get him. sure, it takes time. but it's just like the teachers you hated at the time who turned out to be the most you learned from. don't we all have those in our past?

    i'm certainly not saying the guy's a charmer. but i do believe he gets the the most out of his players. crap even tiki barber, who so bad-mouthed coughlin when he retired, had his best seasons under coughlin.

    It's OK to do it once in a while, but if you do it more than once or twice a year, the readers will think you're just windsocking, and won't take anything you write seriously.
     
  5. And what a manly man you are, too.

    Right. I said, if not overdone. (I rarely see that anywhere, anyhow.)

    Name me a successful NFL coach who isn't a jackass, at least by your definition?

    Holmgren.
    Turner.

    Never said there weren't other jackasses, just that Coughlin's always been one and the fact that his team has managed to get to a Super Bowl this season doesn't change that. Even Belichick who, for all his own jackassery, never clocked interviews with a fucking egg timer on his desk.

    Different strokes, Fen. Different strokes.
     
  11. Yeah, and Coughlin's still a jackass.

    I'm a big Vacc fan, but that was not one of his better efforts.
