Former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin interviewed for the then vacant Eagles head coaching position back in January. New details are now emerging about that interview. Gary Myers of the New York Daily News is reporting that the interview was a disaster mainly because Coughlin was acting like a “jilted lover” as all he did was talk about how he was treated by the Giants.
Here’s what Myers had to say courtesy of ProFootballTalk.
“NFL sources say his hard feelings for the Giants came through loud and clear in the interview with the Eagles brain trust, which included owner Jeffrey Lurie, and he was obsessed with how he felt wronged by the Giants. He was not forthcoming about his plans for his staff. He came off more concerned with making the Giants look bad than being consumed with coaching the Eagles.”
I’m not surprised that Coughlin would have hard feelings about the Giants, if he thought that he was wronged. It also doesn’t surprise me one bit to see the New York media now try to take a dump on Coughlin for even interviewing with the rival Eagles. Let’s just say that the New York media is known for acting like whiny children at times.
