I never said I was defending Coughlin. Trust me, there's plenty of coaches out there I'd rather have. But I give him credit for helping Tiki become a better running back. But if we did have a different coach, do you think it would be any different? The main problem with our team is we have too many veterans that don't like to be told what to do. What did Fassel say to them before he left, "Are you trying to get me fired?" In Tiki's case, out of respect for the team you've spent your whole career with, you shouldn't make fun of your QB on national, live TV, then go out and bash the coach no matter how you feel. Not saying that it will, but it could have an effect on how the team plays this year. And, no disrespect, but to quit playing a game you love because of one bad coach, to me it shows the game really wasn't that important to him. Before these recent comments, Tiki kept saying it was the grind of the game and how he felt it was starting to take a toll on him physically. I can understand that and respect that. But with his recent comments it's like what the hell is this guy's deal?
