My my, the Eagles just don’t have any chill. First DeMarco Murray, now will they do the same with Tom Coughlin? How would that affect his Giants legacy?
For rational Giants fans, it probably wouldn’t, they would understand the business side of the NFL. Would you care or be surprised if your current boss, after being let go, went to work for your competitor? Probably not. Do Giants fans not like Bill Parcells because of his time with the Cowboys? I don’t think so. It may not feel good at first, but all things must pass, right?
For all the roster movement that has happened in the Chip Kelly era, it would be an interesting team for Coughlin to inherit. Even though Coughlin is a stickler about certain things, I still believe he would be better received than Kelly ever was in the locker room. Even if it’s just because he’s not Chip Kelly.
