TITLE<br />
Tom Coughlin<br />
NFL Record: 162‐128 (Overall)<br />
NFL Head Coach: 17th year<br />
College: Syracuse<br />
The 2011 season solidified Tom Coughlin’s<br />
standing as one of the finest and most successful<br />
coaches in NFL history.<br />
The <strong>Giants</strong> finished 9-7 and won the NFC<br />
East championship before winning four postseason<br />
games, including their second Super<br />
Bowl in five seasons, a 21-17 victory over<br />
the <strong>New</strong> England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.<br />
Coughlin improved to 2-0 in Super Bowls as a<br />
head coach. He is the 13th coach to win multiple<br />
Super Bowls and is one of 18 coaches with<br />
a perfect Super Bowl record. In 16 seasons as<br />
a NFL head coach, Coughlin is 150-121 (.554)<br />
in the regular season and 12-7 (.632) in the<br />
postseason for an overall record of 162-128<br />
(.559). The 150 regular season victories place<br />
Coughlin one victory behind Steve Owen on<br />
the all-time regular season victories list. The<br />
2012 season is Coughlin’s ninth with the <strong>Giants</strong>,<br />
making him the second-longest tenured<br />
coach in franchise history. Only Hall of Fame<br />
Coach Steve Owen, who reigned for 24 seasons<br />
from 1930-53, led the team for a longer<br />
time period.<br />
Coughlin’s 82 regular-season <strong>Giants</strong> victories<br />
are the second-highest total among head<br />
coaches in team history, behind only Steve<br />
Owen (153). His eight <strong>Giants</strong> postseason victories<br />
tie him with Parcells for the franchise<br />
record. Coughlin has led the <strong>Giants</strong> to two<br />
NFC East titles and five playoff berths in eight<br />
years.<br />
In 2011, Coughlin reached a number of impressive<br />
coaching milestones. His 12 postseason<br />
victories tie him with former Pittsburgh<br />
Coach Bill Cowher for the sixth-highest total<br />
in NFL history. Coughlin and Bill Belichick are<br />
the only two active coaches on the list. In<br />
2011, Coughlin improved to 2-2 in conference<br />
championship games, including 2-0 with the<br />
<strong>Giants</strong>.<br />
The 2011 <strong>Giants</strong> gained a franchise-record<br />
6,161 yards. The former mark of 6,085 was<br />
set in 2010. Those are the only two 6,000-<br />
yard seasons in <strong>Giants</strong> history.<br />
Andy Reid<br />
NFL Record: 140-101 (Overall)<br />
NFL Head Coach: 14th year<br />
College: Brigham Young Univ.<br />
One of the most successful head coaches<br />
in recent NFL history, Andy Reid has really<br />
put his stamp on this city’s beloved football<br />
team. After taking over a 3-13 club on January<br />
11, 1999, Reid has been simply masterful in<br />
turning the Eagles into one of the NFL’s elite<br />
teams.<br />
In 2008, Reid became the 37th head coach<br />
in NFL history to reach the 100-win plateau<br />
with a 27-14 victory over the Falcons on Oct.<br />
28. In addition, he became the 22nd coach<br />
to win 100 games with one franchise and the<br />
17th coach to reach the century mark in wins<br />
during his first stint as a head coach.<br />
Reid is the 18th coach in NFL history to remain<br />
with this original team for 10-or-more<br />
years, and since 1990, is one of five first-time<br />
head coaches to do so: Reid (since 1999),<br />
Fisher (since 1994), Brian Billick (1999-2007<br />
with Balitmore), Bill Cowher (1992-2006 with<br />
Pittsburgh), and Dennis Green (1992-2001<br />
with Minnesota).<br />
In 2003, the Eagles overcame a 0-2 start<br />
and a slew of injuries to post their second<br />
consecutive 12-win season. During that season,<br />
Reid registered his 50th career win (in<br />
his 81st game) to become the fastest coach in<br />
team history to reach that milestone. A year<br />
earlier, Reid was the overwhelming choice<br />
as the NFL’s coach of the year as the Eagles<br />
thrived without the services of McNabb to<br />
still capture home field advantage in the NFC<br />
playoffs.<br />
His vision, his dedication, his passion, and<br />
his organizational skills are impeccable. For<br />
those reasons he was promoted to head<br />
coach/executive VP of football operations on<br />
May 8, 2001.<br />
Reid came to the Eagles after spending seven<br />
seasons as an assistant coach with Green<br />
Bay under Mike Holmgren. During that span,<br />
the Packers reached the playoffs six times and<br />
defeated <strong>New</strong> England in Super Bowl XXXI.<br />
