A story emerged today on a popular Buffalo Bills message board that the team had met with former New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin.

On Saturday night, Sal Maiorana of Rochester's Democrat & Chronicle was asked about the rumor and the writer confirmed that the Bills did meet with Coughlin.

Yes, but not sure if it was a consult or a job interview. https://t.co/l0romX1vzI — Sal Maiorana (@salmaiorana) September 24, 2016

The purpose of the meaning has not revealed, but it's possible that Buffalo is looking at Coughlin as a potential consultant or football czar.

It's also possible that Coughlin's meeting was simply a part of his new job with the NFL. Coughlin was named the senior advisor to football operations this offseason and according to the New York Post, his job could involve him traveling to NFL games. The Bills will be hosting the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, so his visit could be work related.

Before accepting a job with the NFL, Coughlin had interviewed for the head coaching job of the Philadelphia Eagles before withdrawing his name from consideration.

Coughlin, 70, went 170-150 in the NFL as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Giants. He won two Super Bowl championships as the Giants' head coach.
