Going 19-29 his last three years in Jacksonville and getting fired.
Every decision is easy in hindsight, but at the time Marvin had a Super Bowl ring and was a hot prospect. Coughlin had had some success as head coach in Jacksonville, but he didn't have Super Bowl ring and he had coached poorly enough to get fired.
I am not going to bash what Coughlin has accomplished with the Giants. Just pointing out the facts at the time we hired Marvin Lewis over him.
