Tom Coughlin already misses football and would like to return to coaching for the 2017 season.

"I've coached 47 years of my life," Coughlin told The MMQB on Sunday night. "You take that away, and that's not an easy thing to duplicate."

Coughlin told the website his "motor is starting to run again," but he realizes that in order to coach again next year he needs a team that will accept him as a different kind of coach.

"We'll see," Coughlin said. "It'll take two to tango. The 70-year-old man stuff will be a factor, and I'm sure they'll know this would be a three- and four-year thing."

Coughlin added: "They'll have to know the guy. If I have an opportunity to speak to anyone, they'll see what I'd be able to do for them."
