Tom Coughlin turns down Eagles, who hire Doug Pederson

The Giants chose Ben McAdoo over Tom Coughlin — and they may not have to look very far next season to see if they were right.

Just 10 days after stepping down as coach of the Giants, the 69-year-old Coughlin is apparently getting closer to becoming the next coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, according to multiple reports. The Eagles seem to have zeroed in on Coughlin since the moment they lost out on McAdoo to the Giants late Wednesday night.

Coughlin interviewed with the Eagles on Monday, one day before he interviewed with the San Francisco 49ers.
