With training camp now underway, Coughlin is trying to make his mark with a team that hasn't won more than five games in a season since 2010, but that may not necessarily be a good thing.
Coughlin told ESPN's Dan Graziano that he is indeed a tangible presence at the Jags' training camp practices and that he doesn't plan to change that.
"The culture of understanding what it takes to win? For a team that has not won anything in five years? It's not easy. It's not an easy thing. So practices are 2½ hours long. They're fully padded. They'll be in the heat. There's a lot of contact. You work your way into the understanding that nothing good has ever been accomplished without sacrifice — sacrifice, self-denial and discipline, the discipline that goes with it."
