The 70-year old Coughlin was pursuing a coaching position last year and has been considered a good fit for a team president role as well. He's been working in the NFL office this season, retains a home in Jacksonville, and the area has a special appeal to him. He was the first coach of the expansion Jaguars in 1995 and guided the team to a 68-60 record in eight years. That stretch includes a 14-2 record in 1999 that still stands as the franchise's best season.
Over the last eight seasons (including this one) the Jags are 38-87 so Coughlin would undoubtedly be an upgrade.
