some positive feedback regarding coughlin:
Although they know Coughlin will make the next four weeks extremely difficult for them both physically and mentally, the players are eager to get started and to wipe away the lingering residue from 2003. And they have faith that Coughlin is the man who can do that completely and prepare them for a much brighter 2004.
“I’m impressed with his leadership,” Williams said. “He comes out there and you know that he’s focused, you know that he has an idea and a goal in mind and he’s going to take steps to try to achieve it. When he talks to the team he’s a straightforward guy. He’s not going to sugarcoat anything. He’s going to shoot straight from the hip and tell you how he feels and tell you what he means. That’s a good thing and you have to respect that.”
“I have confidence in our new coach,” Toomer said. “I think he’s going to be good for our team. I think our team is going to benefit from it in the long run. The older you get, the fewer chances you have to win the championship. I feel that with the coach we have now, we have a great opportunity to win a championship and be really competitive this year.”
But to do that, they must first get through a highly-competitive camp.
“The whole image he has for the team is to raise the standards of everybody around here, and you can’t complain about that,” Toomer said. “I feel like we’re going to be a much better team because of it. We went 4-12 last year and I’ll do anything not to be 4-12 again. So it doesn’t matter to me.”
