Just noticed this was available on YouTube. Give it a watch if you haven't folks. Enjoy...


Tom Coughlin: A Football Life - ( New Window )

one of the best Giants-related shows NFL Films ever produced.

Unfortunately, if you watch it now, you are left with some bittersweet sadness at the end. How fast things change! Even Parcells thought Coughlin was untouchable by 2012.
The ending does sting now.

Thanks for posting that. Best hour I've spent in about a month.
Great video

Great coach.
I still think TC got a raw deal.

That said, the man brought home 2 Lombardis. I would have signed up for that in January '04.

Nobody is untouchable. Even the greatest of coaches get shown the door if they can't do the job anymore.

I was shocked they didn’t play that audio for the 2007 America’s Game. Coughlin referenced the call and detailed what he said - they should’ve just played it.
Remember spending the college football season

listening to Syracuse University games on the radio with my dad. Those fall afternoons, those games, and cheering the exploits of Larry Csonka, Tom Coughlin, and their teammates will be with me forever.
For a 2x SB winning coach / QB combination

The fact that Eli Manning was not mentioned or referenced once in the entire documentary was surprising to me. Kinda odd actually.

I am not sure if he got a raw deal. Sure the drafts were atrocious, but the NFL was changing and he was not willing to adjust, especially on Defense. If you look at the players Jacksonville was drafting during his tenure after he left the Giants it was the same type of players that they were selecting in New York. That makes me wonder whether or not Tom Coughlin was requesting a specific type of player and Marc Ross and Co. were trying to find that
