Inside the Numbers: Coach joins elite list
Coach Tom Coughlin became the fourth head coach in NFL history to win a game after his 69th birthday
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Tom Coughlin joined some impressive company last week when the Giants defeated the Washington Redskins for their first victory of the season.
Coughlin – who was 69 years and 24 days old when the game was played on Thursday – became just the fourth head coach in NFL history to lead his team to a victory after his 69th birthday.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the only coaches older than Coughlin to win a game are two Pro Football Hall of Famers, George Halas and Marv Levy, and a Super Bowl winner, Dick Vermeil.
