RIP Judy Coughlin! She was an amazing woman and an amazing Wife to Tom! That's crazy Tom was willing to give up Coaching to find another job to support his wife and kids when they were struggling Financially! I'm glad his Wife talked him out of not giving up what he loved doing! Without her, Tom never would've won 3 Super Bowls with the Giants including 2 as the Head Coach! Judy did a great job being a Wife and Mother! She even taught Tom how to be a better Coach and person with the Giants players!
I'm a Cowboys fan and I respected some of his teams soooo much, especially the year they won all those road playoff games and the Super Bowl. What a D.
It's heartbreaking to realize what will happen to Tom's lovely wife Judy. A bad debilitating disease which sadly ended her life about a year ago. Life is not fair sometimes.
Watching this and seeing how great of a Wife/Mother/Grandma Judy was encouraging Tom to do what he loves to do! She's a great person in my book! I definitely would've loved to have met her and Tom together as a Giants Fan!
Everyone said the media didn’t know him but remember the players at first hated him. He’s lucky he didn’t lose the team before he won those Super Bowls
He never had the locker room to begin with. He made it to the first superbowl mainly because he had quickly turned the team around and had Eli leading them to the playoffs back to back. If they hadn’t snuck themselves into the playoffs in his third season he probably would’ve been fired. And he knew it because while he got a one year extension after that third season it was only because the Giants had a policy that they never let a head coach enter the final year of their contract so all it meant was that he was getting one final year to keep the job. And he wisely had the awareness to see that he couldn’t maintain the usual approach he had always had and when he finally let up a bit his team got behind him much more than they had before and they win that Super Bowl. So he’s lucky in a sense but he lasted because as much of a hard ass that he was he was winning but also had a level of awareness to know and willingly change what he’d always been when he had to do so.
Biggest mistake jacksonville ever made was firing him. We would’ve won a Super Bowl if he never left. Made me sick to my stomach watching him win two championships in New York. Should have been the Jaguars winning those championships.
I do want to Thank You for letting the Giants have him after! Without him, the Giants never would've won those two Super Bowls against the heavily favored Patriots! Plus Coughlin also won a Super Bowl as an Assistant Coach with the Giants too!
Wonder how Tiki truly felt after the distraction of handling his plans to retire mid season at his prime, ripping his coach, and saying he didn’t have the heart to play mid season, subsequently going at Eli the next season and forever walking back his comments, and then the team winning the SB the next year without him. And can’t even own up that it must’ve sucked to miss it like he did. One of the best players they ever had and just torched his relationship with the team.
He did a heck of a good job coaching the Giants in spite of a poor GM in Jerry Reece doing a poor as GM. Mara and Tisch should have fired Reece and not pushed Coughlin out the door. It was the beginning of a lot of losing and turmoil with the Giants.
One of the most underrated coaches in history.
He deserves to be in the NFL Hall of Fame.

He's a hall of famer what he and Eli accomplished is legendary
as a patriots fan, devastating, but agreed
Let's not forget his Jacksonville years. He built a monster down there.
Agree. He got the Jags started the right way & turned them into into contenders.

rip judy coughlin
The Giants were fortunate to have him🏈
Lol this is by far one of the best Football Life Episodes.
A great coach and an even better person.
Great documentary!!! Love our NY Giants.. Bleed blue nation..

Judy and the late Mrs Mara will always be loved in the giants history….
I remember when Mrs Mara told terry bradshaw on tv you never pick us!!! 😢😢😢
Get him in the hall next year with Eli dude is a LEGEND

do you have Lawrence Taylor AFL?!
Pure genius🎯
Excellent

Wouldn't wanna get on the wrong side of this guy
Narrator calls Jaguars - "Jagwires" unacceptable
I'll give him credit. He took the two most mediocre teams of the modern era and won Super Bowls, and he beat Belichik twice.
