Q: The players are probably hearing all the negative feedback after two close losses. How important is it for you to stay positive and upbeat?
Coughlin: “Well, it is. And I’m fighting the same battle, I really am. I don’t read anything and I don’t like that. I don’t like being someone who really doesn’t know what’s happening in the world, but I’ve decided that I don’t want to be affected by what’s being said on the outside. So I really don’t care for that. But I continue. I suppose I tell our players the facts and then I encourage them, and I always look at the things - for example last weekend - when have you seen special teams numbers like that before?
