Tom Coughlin to Philly? 'Don't do it,' says Justin Tuck

With the Philadelphia Eagles planning to meet with Tom Coughlin on Monday, one former Giants star has some advice for his old coach.

"Don't do it, Tom," Justin Tuck said on NFL Network's GameDay First.

The Raiders pass-rusher, who spent nine seasons in New York and won a pair of Super Bowls under Coughlin, just can't picture Coughlin in midnight green and white.

Neither can Giants fans, who never imagined that dumping their wildly popular coach would prompt him to join an arch rival.

Still, the Giants are allowing Philadelphia to interview Coughlin, who is technically still under contract with Big Blue. Could he possibly wind up coaching the Eagles?

"There is a chance," NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport said Saturday of a development that would make the NFC East must-watch TV all over again in 2016.
