That includes the head coach for a division rival over the last 12 seasons.

The New York Giants formally introduced Ben McAdoo as the 17th head coach in franchise history Friday morning, and he had plenty to say about his vision for the future of one of the NFL’s most esteemed clubs.
“I have great respect for Coach McAdoo and the whole coaching staff”, Manning said January 4.
The Cleveland Browns officially hired Hue Jackson on Wednesday.
The Eagles offense gave the Redskins fits during the first season of the Kelly-Shurmur regime, but Washington eventually cracked the code and is now riding a three-game winning streak against Philadelphia.
The San Francisco 49ers have also shown a lot of interest in Coughlin, but there’s talk that he wouldn’t be insane about moving all the way across the country and away from his family.
“He has demonstrated some of that intensity, exhibiting a Coughlin-level focus during practices and in meetings”. Kelly still is searching for work. The Panthers defeated the Giants 38-35. Yes, it’s true that McAdoo is not going to run around the Giants’ complex undoing everything Coughlin did. Adam Gase, the Chicago Bears offensive coordinator who was hired by the Dolphins this month, is 37. In fact, it’s partly why McAdoo was handed the monumental task of filling former coach Tom Coughlin’s big shoes. The Eagles brass is down to Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson and former Giants coach Tom Coughlin as the only remaining external candidates that they have acknowledged interviewing. McAdoo has respect for Coughlin’s intense preparation methods, which is hardly a surprise since the no-nonsense McAdoo has apparently lived by that ethos his entire life.
McAdoo said that on his first day as the Giants’ offensive coordinator, Coughlin told him, “Don’t mess with the clocks”.
The Eagles requested an interview with Paul Guenther, defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals, who were eliminated from the wild card round of the playoffs by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Koetter spoke with the Bucs about their head coaching opening, as well as the 49ers per reports. The Eagles were also very interested in McAdoo. No coach has ever won a Super Bowl with two teams, although that feels more like trivia than any sort of predictor that it will never happen.

Coughlin has been coaching football since 1969, and he’ll turn 70 in August. Marion Campbell was the head coach in that era.
