The first of the NFL's seven vacant head coaching jobs may be filled by Tom Coughlin. Indications are the New York Giants are close to naming Coughlin as its new head coach, a league source said Monday.
The source said that Coughlin's agent, Gary O'Hagan, was en route to New York to conclude his negotiations with the Giants. The deal has not been finalized, but the Giants have summoned Coughlin to New York either Monday night or Tuesday.
A potential news conference could be held as soon as Tuesday to announce Coughlin as the team's 17th head coach.
"The Giants told Coughlin to pack a suit and tie," said one league source.

I actually wanted Coughlin. That means we should get Fassel. He is the next best coach available! Hope the rumors are true, and Fassel walks out with contract on hand.
