According to ESPN, Tom Coughlin could already be heading back to the NFL

Tom Coughlin might end up right back where his coaching career began next season.

Tom Coughlin's sabbatical from coaching is quite possibly over just one season after it began.

According to CBS Sports, the two-time Super Bowl champion could resurface in Jacksonville—-the place where he cut his head coaching teeth back in 1995.

The Jaguars have struggled to a 2-5 mark this season after compiling a woeful 12-26 record over the previous three campaigns. And all signs point to head coach Gus Bradley, who's sputtered to a 14-41 showing in his nearly three and a half seasons in Jacksonville, the league's worst record among coaches with at least 50 games at the helm. Pundits and those in the know, Adam Schefter for one, are beginning to hint that Bradley could be on his way out and Coughlin is a likely short-list candidate.

Coughlin's years with the Jags were some of the most productive of his career. From 1995 through 2002, the team recorded a 128-68 record (the 12th best record of any NFL team during that stretch) and he led Jacksonville to the AFC Championship game in 1996, the franchise's second year of football existence.

Coughlin then landed in New York in 2004, where his 106- 90 record was hardly indicative of his success. His Giants won two Super Bowls (2007 and 2011) during his tenure before he resigned in 2015.

He reportedly interviewed for the Philadelphia Eagles coaching position this offseason before taking a job with the NFL as a senior adviser to football operations. If in fact Coughlin did return next season with the Jags, he would be the league's oldest coach at 70.
