Born in Geashill, County Offaly, Coughlan had a lengthy inter-county career. He first came to notice as a 19-year-old substitute in 1960, on the first Offaly team to win a Leinster SFC title. Coughlan progressed to win All-Ireland SFC medals in 1971 and 1972, when Offaly defeated Galway and Kerry. He didn't play in the 1971 final, but did win a medal as a substitute and was a key figure at left corner-back in the following year's success.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://offaly.gaa.ie/history/all-ireland-winning-teams/|title=Offaly GAA|publisher=offaly.gaa.ie|access-date=2018-08-15}}</ref>
