Coughlan went on to play a key part for Offaly during a hugely successful era for the team, and won two All-Ireland medals and seven Leinster medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.[citation needed]
Throughout his career Coughlan made 34 championship appearances. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1990 championship.[citation needed]
