INDIANAPOLIS -- Tom Coughlin has one regret about Tiki Barber: that he couldn't convince the New York Giants running back to keep his opinions out of the public spotlight.

On Friday, the New York Giants coach told reporters during the NFL's annual scouting combine he wished Barber hadn't used the media to voice his strong opinions and wasn't sure why Barber blamed the coaching staff for pushing him into retirement.

Barber's latest comments came during a news conference when he was hired by NBC.

"I do not know what this is all about," Coughlin said. "I was under the impression he was having a press conference to announce his new role with NBC, and then to find out that he turned around and talked about something like this ... I think to give the illusion that I had something to do with his retirement, I don't quite follow that."

he's a hypocrite.

I would have retired if this jack*** was my coach too.

I never wanted that guy here. He tries to be Bill Parcells but doesn't have the personality. Over in Jacksonville he wound up pissing off all of the vets too. It usually takes about 2 or 3 years for his team to implode.
