I guess I'm just not very much of a Coughlin fan. While Vermeil and Coughlin are a lot alike in that they are consumed by the game and their jobs as head coach ... I've never gotten the sense Coughlin has the same feeling for 'his guys' that Vermeil had for his.

Vermeil drove his players ... hard. Everybody knows that. But, his emotional attachment to them, I think, made the difference in the end.

Never got that sense with Coughlin. It was just ... push, push, push ... and none of that warmth.
