Tom Coughlin

I am writing this blog before the Super Bowl starts – in fact a couple of days before the Super Bowl starts.  Thus by the time you read this blog it may be totally out of date.  But I will take that risk as I suspect you are tired already of figure skating and already longing for next football season to start.

 

As with every Super Bowl there is no end to the media buildup.  The articles really become quite stupid, and just like reality TV, the more stupid the reporting becomes the more interesting it becomes to look at.

 

Killing time this week while I should be doing something else (although I am writing this blog so that should count for something) I read an article by Joe Posnanski on cnnsi.com.  The article was on “Why Tom Coughlin has become such a good coach”. 

 

One of the players interviewed for the article (Giants linebacker Michael Boley) came out with this gem; “… one of the things that Coach Coughlin always talks about is adjust and mystery.” (Italics added for emphasis.)

 

“Adjust and mystery”.  What a great way for a risk manager to be labeled a good coach.
