Tom Coughlin drops out of Eagles race

[Johnnydollaz89]

The Philadelphia Eagles will need to go in another direction to find their new coach, as Tom Coughlin has withdrawn his name from consideration, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
This comes after Philadelphia had turned its attention squarely to the formerNew York Giants coach, sources told Schefter earlier Thursday. Conversations between the two sides had intensified since Wednesday night, sources said.
Part of Coughlin's concern was about the staff structure in Philadelphia, sources told ESPN's Dan Graziano. Coughlin felt he didn't have a strong candidate to serve as offensive coordinator if he took the Eagles job, sources said.
With Coughlin out of the picture, the Eagles are expected to pursue Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, a source told Schefter. The Eagles cannot hire Pederson until the Chiefs' season ends.

Something tells me he heads down to TB.

well since NYG seems to be keeping both coordinators, 2015 musta been Coughlin's fault

He did have alot of clock management issues

Not surprised. Dude's a control freak and he's too old for a total rebuild job. Not a great fit.

He must've met some of their fan base.

.....his time was 'running-out' a couple years ago......and they hesitantly extended him because of the two Lombardiez.

Never thought he was going to Philly.

What race? Is there any coach that wants to go to Philly?

Andy Reid's protege in Doug Pederson seems interested. No idea if Eagles fans like him at all.

The Eagles FO would want Reid back if they could, they realized it was a mistake to let him go in the first place.

I believe he was there target all along, plus with the Chiefs in the playoffs I think they keep it quit until the Chiefs are done...

No team in the NFL would be excited about hiring an old man for head coach. He needs to spend the rest of his life on the golf course.

I told Dirt a few months ago that we should be getting ready for the Tom Coughlin Annual Charity Golf Event.

Hard to hang em up sometimes.

Nobody else has a vacancy other than Tennessee, do they?

I don't believe so. And he's not gonna take a job as OC, most likely. So it's either HC or retirement, I guess.

He's only 70.
