The buzz is Mayor Grover Robinson has offered to hire him and let Coughlin return to his old job as assistant director of the Pensacola International Airport.
Airport Director Dan Flynn is in DROP. City Administrator Chris Holley in February told the media that Flynn would be retiring “in a year of so.”
