Giants’ Brian Daboll connects with Tom Coughlin: ‘Good resource to have’

Retired New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin made a visit to his old stomping grounds earlier this week and had a chance to meet with Brian Daboll.

Although Daboll and Coughlin, who is in town for a Jay Fund Foundation event, had no previous relationship, they seemed to hit it off. Daboll even started his Thursday press conference 10 minutes early in honor of Coughlin.

“Ton of respect for how he went about his business. A good resource to have,” Daboll said of Coughlin. “That’s why I’m out here 10 minutes early.”

The Giants, of course, have fallen off the map since Coughlin’s “resignation.” They’re now on their fifth head coach (if you include Steve Spagnuolo) and third general manager since his departure, and have the fewest 30-point games (9) in the NFL over that same span.

Daboll aims to rectify that and is clearly open to Coughlin’s input.

In addition to Daboll, Coughlin also met with several other members of the organization, including players. One such player, linebacker Carter Coughlin, got a kick out of the meeting.

It’s unclear exactly how tied in Coughlin will be with the Giants, but it’s nice to see him back in the building making new inroads nonetheless.
