New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has developed a relationship with former Giants head coach Tom Coughlin since arriving in New Jersey.
The pair have spoken on a number of occasions and even had lunch with quarterback Daniel Jones earlier this year. Their conversations have centered around football, as you might expect, and other more casual topics.
On Friday night in New York City, Coughlin and the Jay Fund Foundation held their annual Champions for Children Gala. During the event, Coughlin was asked what advice he might have for Daboll when it comes to lasting in East Rutherford.
Coughlin’s answer was blunt and simple.
“Win,” he said, via the New York Post.
Coughlin’s early impressions of Daboll are positive. He believes the Giants have found themselves a solid coach for the first time since, well… Coughlin himself.
“To the extent that I have been around and known Brian, he’s a very good man, he’s a good football coach, he’s doing it for all the right reasons,” Coughlin said. “He’s excited to be the head coach of the New York Giants, and when you look at the passageway from which he came, he’s very well-prepared for this job.”
Daboll and the Giants are, of course, off to an impressive and unlikely 5-1 start. But there’s still a long way to go says co-owner John Mara.
“Things are going well so far,” Mara said. “But we haven’t exactly booked a reservation at the Canyon of Heroes just yet.”
Precious few expect that parade to come this season but for the first time in a decade, it does appear as if the Giants are on the right track.
