The New York Giants have gone four consecutive years without making the playoffs,  and there is no doubt coach Tom Coughlin's job is on the line.

Fans, sports writers, and I'm sure even the players are thinking maybe he has lost his ability to motivate and lead an NFL team.

Coach Tom Coughlin has had an amazing career which began in 1970 with the Rochester Institute of technology, which took him to Boston College.

Coughlin's NFL debut was as a wide receivers coach for the Eagles, Packers and on to the New York Giants, where he worked under Bill Parcells and help him win Super Bowl 25 in 1991.

After the Giants Superbowl season in '91', Coughlin returned to Boston College for a few years and helped revamp their program.

Coughlin's first head coaching position came in 1995 where he took an NFL expansion team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and made them the most successful expansion team in NFL history, winning 14 games in 1999,

Coughlin's tenure with the Jaguars included 49 wins in the first five years of the teams history, eight playoff games, which included two AFC championship games.

In 2004 Tom Coughlin became the head coach of the New York Giants, a team that finished 4 and 12 the season before.

I don't have to remind Giants fans that Tom Coughlin was instrumental in getting Eli Manning in the 2004 draft, and we all know about the two magical seasons, when the sporting world counted us out, and we just kept winning.

Tom Coughlin is an amazing man, and one hell of as coach, yes his coaching days will soon be put behind him, but lets give this man a world of credit for his amazing accomplishments.

Tom Coughliin is on the level of some of the greatest coaches of all time.

Future Hall of Fame Coach? Without a doubt.

Thank You Tom, from one devoted Giants fan.
