"It can’t get much better," Giants chief executive John Mara said. "To have it happen one time, the way it did four years ago, was pretty incredible. To have it happen twice is hard to put into words."

Coughlin laughed when asked about being a candidate for the Hall of Fame, but it’s obvious his recent accomplishments have put him on the hall’s radar.

He downplayed matching Parcells’ Super Bowl win total.

"I’m very thankful and very grateful for the opportunity that I’ve had as a head coach of the New York Giants," Coughlin said. "The wonderful players that I have worked with, the coaches that have surrounded us and the support from ownership, that’s what this is all about."

And there is no doubt Coughlin will have that ownership support for as long as he wants.
