It’s interesting to me that even though they won 2 SBs the Giants never really had a good year with Coughlin. Both SB runs started by sneaking into the playoffs at 9-7, with predictions of Coughlin’s termination early in the year. A really/ lucky playoff coach but a really bad regular season coach.
The Giants were 10-6 in 2007, but you’re right that in both cases they were marginal teams who almost didn’t even make the playoffs.
