Who was the New York Giants coach in 2008?

The New York Giants’ coach in 2008 was Tom Coughlin. He had been hired as the team’s head coach in 2004 and remained in the role through the 2015 season.

Coughlin’s 2008 Giants were defending Super Bowl champions after defeating the previously unbeaten New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. The team finished the 2008 regular season 12–4, won the NFC East, and earned the conference’s top playoff seed, although it lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round.

A common mix-up is Steve Spagnuolo, who was the Giants’ defensive coordinator in 2008, not their head coach. Spagnuolo became associated with the team’s championship defense and later served as an interim head coach in 2017. Coughlin, meanwhile, led New York to two Super Bowl victories: XLII after the 2007 season and XLVI after the 2011 season.
