The Giants nonetheless have one participant within the modern-day class, quarterback Eli Manning, who superior to the semifinals two weeks in the past.
There’s a lot debate as we speak on the choice of Mike Holmgren over Tom Coughlin and Mike Shanahan within the coaches’ class.
It was a detailed name. Coughlin and Shanahan each gained the 2 Tremendous Bowls they appeared in throughout their careers. Holmgren gained one of many three he took his groups to.
Holmgren has a greater win-loss report within the common season (161-111, .592). Shanahan had a report of 170-138 (.552) and Coughlin went 170-150 (.531).
Coughlin was one of the best within the postseason, going 12-7 (.632), whereas Shanahan was 8-6 (.571) and Holmgren went 13-11 (.542).
Holmgren took the Inexperienced Bay Packers to 2 Tremendous Bowls, profitable one. He later took the Seattle Seahawks to the massive recreation and misplaced.
That could be a wonderful distinction however he’s not alone in reaching the feat. Dick Vermeil, Dan Reeves, Don Shula, Andy Reid, and Invoice Parcells additionally did that however no coach has ever gained the massive recreation with two completely different groups.
