"Tom Coughlin's players were passing around the Vince Lombardi Trophy on the podium as the confetti came floating down on their heads with all kinds of New York songs blasting throughout the stadium.

The coach had moved some of these tough guys to tears on Saturday night with an emotional speech that ended with him telling them, "I love you."

Now he was soaking in another incredible moment following the 21-17 victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI that finished off one of the great six-game coaching jobs in NFL history. Coughlin has won Super Bowls in his fourth and eighth seasons with the Giants. Bill Parcells won Super Bowls in his fourth and eighth seasons with the Giants and then walked away.

Coughlin will be back next season trying to repeat as Super Bowl champions. "I don't think there is any question," he said."
