Giants' Tom Coughlin: 'It's Not About Me'

And leave a comment.

It would be great to show from BBV what we’re all about.

"I can’t think of another team that played us this well on both sides of the ball," Rodgers said after the game. "The Chargers game was close but we really had a good rhythm. I think the Giants’ defense did a good job of getting us out of some stuff and hitting me a number of times. We made enough plays at the end to get the job done.

"We knew what kind of game it was going to be. The Giants are a very good football team, very well-coached. A lot of pride, a lot of veteran guys on that team, so we knew it was going to be a tough game."

This was after our week 13 loss to them this year.

I must admit, I called for his head this season and in the past. He just continues to prove me wrong. Just when you think we are dead, he rallies the troops and has guys like antrel rolle acting like well disciplined catholic school children. i guess i gotta deal with the coughlin for a few more years lol.

“They Call Me Coach” is a great book for anyone who wants to study leadership or grow as a leader. That’s one I’m more than certain Coughlin has thumbed and worn through the spine on. It’s Wooden’s big coaching memoir and manifesto.

Came across it myself more than 15 years ago and it’s always relevant.

Great qoute. definitely not a junk reader. Another one here (raising left hand in air) who called for TC’s head. While I would still like to see Cowher as our team’s head coach, I am willing to wait a little longer. TC has always carry himself in a respectable manner. He has produced some pretty competitive team over the years as head coach too. He has also been a part of some championship teams as a wr coach (i.e. 86 Giants SB champs) Props given TC. and time bought.

I know there have been a lot of these out there, but this one has more in it worth a read.

Even a quote from JR on having signed him and what they thought about it at the time.

I think that his “oldschool” style of coaching really works! Everyman is accountable for his actions, or lack of action. He has always had a team first mentality, and understands what the Giant franchise and tradition means and stands for! He is able to motivate players to give thier best on and off the field! He is loyal to a fault sometimes I will admit that. I’m glad he is the coach for this team.

but similar to Eli, he just doesn’t really care and deflects it real well. I was never opposed to change, but always would’ve rather he keep his job.

this thing about the death of the son of the packers offe. coord. is sad, as parent obviously you don´t want nobody going through that.
as fan, it worries me, this is the kind of thing that makes the players play extra hard for their coach.

Brought a tear to my eye yet again

Last couple of years I complained endlessly about TC. Thought that he was the reason this team was missing the playoffs. Thought he couldn’t adjust. And thought he was just too old to work in today’s game.

Then this year happened. And I watched him disprove every last one of my doubts about the man. He did adjust. He did keep the season on track when it easily could’ve gone awry. He did bring young ploayers along and trust them in big situations. His game plans aren’t what he likes to do, but he has worked with the talent he has to get the best product on the field that he could.

My sig used to read “Prove me wrong TC” I removed it once he did.

I loved that quote.
