Tiki talked about Coughlin moments that he's not so fond of.
I took notice of the following -
“The one thing he said to me, and I remember it, it was the first meeting that I ever had with him, was, ‘I don’t care how good you are, if you’re a liability to my team, then you’re not going to play,’” Barber said. “I knew was very capable of being a top player in the National Football League. And here was this guy coming and telling me he was going to be bench me if I didn’t fix the mistakes that I was making. ‘Don’t be a liability.’ And so I set out doing it.”
I remember McCoy said something to the effect that "I'm not good enough to play without practicing on Wednesdays" this year. Great players with self motivations knows. But it is obvious that's not the kind of ship Rex is running here. Often times he had players in game without a week's practice just because "he's great player."
I do think Coughlin's style will worn out people. It has always been in his coaching career. Those 6-10, 7-9 finishes in his last few years in NY could easily be interpreted as he lost the team. I'm not sure at his age, he's the right guy for the Bills. But his style might be what the Bills need right now.
