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!
Eagles fan here and I totally agree, guy should have a gold jacket on 42 and 46 alone. Let alone everything else he did. Coughlin is an old school hero that America needs. I can honestly say as an eagles fan I rooted for the giants in both of those super bowls and was thrilled to see them win. Although Ahmad Bradshaw scared the shit out of me when he accidentally scored. Cheers Coughlin.
He broke my heart in 1993 ND vs BC, will never get over that one, 2007 in the Divisional against Dallas, for me though, he is one helluva coach, period!
Love you forever Coach! Thanks for the sacrifices that led to our Championships! To your family. You brought a high quality that won. You are an All Time Great Giant and we will see you in The Hall of Fame.
That was absolutely fantastic. I remember being in the stands for the Cleveland Hail Mary game against Jax and yelling that it was the owner's fault by letting Coughlin run EVERYTHING with the Jaguars. But I was still sad when they let him go. I am now looking forward to his induction into the Pride of the Jaguars this October. Great husband, grandfather, great person. I'm not crying, you're crying.
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!
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!
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.
Maybe he didn’t understand Coughlin’s discipline? I’m from Texas so I constantly hear about the Barbers but that’s what’s hard about coaching is trying to get through to EVERYONE in the locker room. Despite what outside noise or in some cases, inside noise maybe both even which is even harder to keep out may be saying.
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.

A great coach and an even better person.
He's a hall of famer what he and Eli accomplished is legendary
as a patriots fan, devastating, but agreed
Love you forever Coach! Thanks for the sacrifices that led to our Championships! To your family. You brought a high quality that won. You are an All Time Great Giant and we will see you in The Hall of Fame.
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.
To me, the 96 Jaguars are more memorable than either of his superbowls.
Lol this is by far one of the best Football Life Episodes.
Get him in the hall next year with Eli dude is a LEGEND
Great documentary!!! Love our NY Giants.. Bleed blue nation..
The Giants were fortunate to have him🏈
That was absolutely fantastic.

Classic super driven coach
The guy was a force of nature.
RIP Judy
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.

As a Notre Dame fan. I never forgave him for 1993 Boston College. But he is a winner. He won everywhere you went.
A rare ...gem...that knew ...how..to...prepare...and...get...the...most...outta...everybody...

LMAO Eli wasn't there so didn't matter and the jags will never win a chip

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!!! 😢😢😢
Life is never fair, you have to be thankful and appreciate what you have and be thankful for what did/didn’t happen.

Coughlin’s wife and daughter explain this. Media can be tough, New York media is tougher.
Pure genius🎯
Excellent
do you have Lawrence Taylor AFL?!

Narrator calls Jaguars - "Jagwires" unacceptable
The Jaguars owner did him dirty. All of the blame for the collapse after 2017 was put on Tom.
Wouldn't wanna get on the wrong side of this guy
One of the Jaguars biggest mistakes was firing Coughlin.
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.
That's a Man!
And, A Woman.
