What began as pure speculation has now become a reality. Former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin will interview with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, per a Fox Sports report on Saturday. The Giants gave permission for Coughlin to interview with their NFC East rival.
Rumors started to swirl after Bill Parcells claimed that Coughlin could be a good fit for the Eagles on 97.5FM The Fanatic. When asked about his abilities as a coach and whether the Eagles were a possibility, Parcells replied, “I know guys Tom Coughlin’s age who know a whole lot more about football than some of the 30 year olds who are coaching it… I think his record pretty much speaks for itself.
