Greg Hanlon- A GIANT WIN: Inside the New York Giants' Historic Upset over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

from Speaking of Writers · host Steve Richards

Legendary Giants coach Tom Coughlin takes readers inside his coaching masterpiece: Super  Bowl XLII when Eli Manning and the underdog Giants beat the undefeated, 18-0 Patriots of  Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Super Bowl XLII was the greatest upset in NFL history. In A GIANT WIN, Coach Tom Coughlin  recounts the strategies and people that made it possible. Coach Coughlin reveals the intricacies of the game, revealing details only a coach would know.  He also details, more than ever before, his relationships with some of the greatest, most iconic  players of those Giants teams, like Eli Manning and Michael Strahan. A GIANT WIN also provides a frame for Coach Coughlin to discuss his life in football—including  his years with the Giants as an assistant coach in the late 1980s and 1990, when he helped win  a Super Bowl working under Hall of Fame Head Coach Bill Parcells and alongside the coach  he’d oppose in Super Bowl XLII: Bill Belichick. A GIANT WIN is a self-portrait of one of football history’s most successful coaches during his signature game.  About The Authors: Tom Coughlin is a former National Football League head coach who was part of three New York Giants  Super Bowl winning teams, twice as head coach.
