Out of coaching after he was pushed out by the Giants, Tom Coughlin is staying in football and staying in New York.

Coughlin will work for the NFL’s football operations department, Jim Trotter of ESPN reports.

The football operations department works on officiating, rules, and communicating with coaches and players about the game on the field. The department is headed up by Troy Vincent.

Coughlin said in May that he still wants to coach. Another NFL head-coaching job is probably a long shot, but the league office apparently thinks Coughlin still has something to contribute.
