Tom Coughlin Competitor Quotations

First and foremost, he's an outstanding athlete. He has to be or else he wouldn't be in this position. He takes great care of himself. He's a competitor by nature. He has a great sense of humor, which I think keeps everything in perspective for him, good or bad. But, to play as long as he has played and to be on the verge of breaking these records is a tremendous accomplishment. For someone to be in a position that he's in and having done this for so many years and continue to be excited about coming to work every day and the opportunities he has is really a remarkable thing.

Your gut tells you as a competitor to go for it -- do this, do that, do that -- but in many, many situations, I have seen it go both ways, ... To not have those points at the half would not have been right, either.
