Inweekly had received several reports that Coughlin, the former commanding officer of NAS Whiting, had no interest in serving as acting administrator.
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.
