Coughlin Unlikely To Have Weekly Appearances On WFAN This Season

On Long Island, Neil Best writes, “It appears [Giants coach] Tom Coughlin won’t be doing a paid weekly spot on WFAN this autumn.” Coughlin and his predecessor, Jim Fassel, have appeared on “Mike & the Mad Dog” on Mondays to discuss the previous day’s game. Coughlin “would like to move to Thursday; the station prefers Monday or at the latest Tuesday.” WFAN Operations Dir Mark Chernoff said Thursday “is too far removed from the game” (NEWSDAY, 3/6).
