Coach Tom Coughlin
takes the field for the
Giants game against
the Carolina Panthers
in week three of this
past season. The Giants
won the game 36-7.
BY GUIDING the New York
Giants to two recent Super
Bowl victories (2008 and
2012), Tom Coughlin has
solidified his position in the
ranks of elite pro football
coaches. He also joined
another fraternity: devout Catholics
who have been outstanding gridiron
leaders and two-time Super Bowl champions.
Others on that list include the
legendary Vince Lombardi of the Green
Bay Packers, who said he was strengthened
by daily Communion, and Don
Shula of the Miami Dolphins, who
wrote: “Attending Mass and looking
to God for guidance aren’t just habits
for me. They matter deeply to me.”
