The Jacksonville Jaguars were reportedly going to be without Tom Coughlin whether they fired him or not, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
Florio explains that, according to a source, Coughlin was going to walk away gracefully before the season finale against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17:
Per multiple sources, the two-time Super Bowl winner was planning to retire at the end of the season. One source suggested that Coughlin had planned to announce next week that he’d leave the organization upon conclusion of the Week 17 game against the Colts.
