What is an NFL coach expected to do?
Take a great team and win championships?
Take the players you have and find a way to win?
In winning with what you have and making mediocre players winners, there is no better coach than Tom Coughlin
Proof?
1. 1996- second year of expansion Jacksonville Jaguars and took them to the AFC Championship. A freak'n expansion team of rejects and rookies and Coughlin is a win away from the Superbowl. Brought the Jags to the AFC championship again three years later
2. No Hall of Fame Coach has ever beaten a 14-2 or better team. Coughlin has beaten the 15-1 Green Bay Packers and 18-0 New England Patriots in winning championships. It will never be matched
3. Coughlin has won championships with 10-6 and 9-7 New York Giant teams. The ultimate in overachieving. What is coaching but taking what you got and finding a way to win big games? Nobody better than Coughlin
Now, I might concede that Bill Belichick is a better coach with three Superbowl wins and five AFC championships except for the fact that Coughlin OWNS Belichick. Belichick with five SuperBowls and an undefeated season would be considered the greatest coach of all time except for one thing.......Tom Coughlin
