‘Cuse Conversations Episode 129: Super Bowl Winning Head Coach Tom Coughlin ’68, G’69 on Overcoming Adversity, Being Forever Orange
Original air date: Jan. 31, 2023 Tom Coughlin ’68, G’69 won two Super Bowls as head coach of the New York Giants, and with the Super Bowl fast approaching, we sat down with Coughlin on the latest episode of the Syracuse University podcast. Coughlin has a new book out, “A Giant Win,” describing how, in Super Bowl 42, his Giants shocked the football world by knocking off Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in one of the greatest Super Bowls ever played. The book is a lesson in how to overcome adversity and how to respond when life hands you a setback. Coughlin relives those Super Bowl championships, shares why Syracuse was his dream school, recalls playing alongside Orange football legends like Floyd Little ’67, G’16 and Larry Csonka ’68, and discusses why he and his late wife, Judy, became passionate about helping families tackle childhood cancer through the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation.
