Transcription

Early life

Coughlin was born in 1938 and lived in the Collinwood neighborhood on Cleveland's east side until 1941, when his parents moved to a home on the city's west side near St. Ignatius High School.

A time later, Coughlin's family moved again to suburban Lakewood, Ohio, where he attended St. Edward High School, graduating in 1956. Coughlin would later serve a two-year stint in the U.S. Army in the First Armored Division.[1]

Career

Newspapers

Soon after leaving the service, Coughlin would land his first full-time job in the newspaper business, when he became a sports writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer in 1964.[2] While with the Plain Dealer, Coughlin was recognized for his work by being named Ohio Sportswriter of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association (NSSA) in 1976,[3] and serving as president of the Cleveland Press Club from 1981-82.[4]

Coughlin would leave the Plain Dealer in 1982, but would still work part-time as a sports writer in later years, writing sports columns for suburban newspapers such as the Elyria Chronicle Telegram, and the Lake County News Herald.[5]

Television

In 1983, Coughlin would switch to television reporting, becoming a sports reporter/fill-in anchor for WJKW (now WJW) TV 8 in Cleveland, where he remains to the present day.[6]

For the 1990 baseball season, Coughlin served as a play by play announcer for the Cleveland Indians on the then new SportsChannel Ohio (now Fox Sports Ohio).[7]

In recent years, Coughlin has gone into semi-retirement, though he still works part-time at WJW as a co-host of Friday Night Touchdown during high school football season.[8][9]

Author

Coughlin has written four books featuring anecdotes from his career covering the Cleveland sports scene - Pass the Nuts (2011), Crazy, With The Papers to Prove It (2012), Let's Have Another (2015) and Just One More Story (2018).[5]
