Generally true. However, if you ever get a chance to watch a video about their miracle 2007 Super Bowl season, you'll hear about how he completely changed his persona that season. He switched from the grumpy old coach to an affable man who was in touch with his players. They really responded...obviously. He still rides that line but he does have a heart. It's just not shown very often.For me, the big take-away from it was that Coughlin held JJ in high enough regard to capitulate. Coughlin isn't exactly known for being "player friendly."
