NEW YORK GIANTS - HEAD COACH TOM COUGHLIN - Ingles

(on winning the Super Bowl) “The greatest feeling in professional sports is to win the Super Bowl.”

(on the Giants’ final drive for the game-winning touchdown) “We moved the ball down the field, and Eli [Manning] made some great plays. [Mario] Manningham made a huge play to get us down there. We tried to take a little more time off the clock, but it didn’t work that way. Thank God it worked out.”

(on how he felt when the Patriots had the ball in the final seconds) “What I was thankful for was that we had a lead of four points. That was the whole deal, to have at least a four-point lead. When we had that, I felt a little bit better. He [Tom Brady] is so dangerous with the ball, you don’t know what to expect.”

(on Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning) “His performance, coming down the stretch, was outstanding. He is the guy who has done it for us all year. He is the guy who put us in position.”

(on the defense) “Our defense has played so well. Coming from the Jets game on, it’s given everybody confidence.”
