Former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin appeared on The MSG 150 on Saturday night and reflected on his time in East Rutherford, Super Bowl XLII and retired quarterback Eli Manning.
Coughlin, of course, also discussed the Jay Fund Foundation and the upcoming Champions for Children Gala, which is tentatively scheduled for October 2.
It will be the 15th annual Champions for Children Gala and Coughlin announced that Manning, who was recently named the best No. 1 overall pick of the 21st century, would be among the honorees.
“We’re excited about it. It’s our 15th Champions for Children. We started it when I was in New York and we wanted to, again, spread our wings and help families who have a child with cancer,” Coughlin said.
“Eli Manning has agreed to be an honoree. Jimmy Dunne III from the financial world has agreed to be an honoree. Lesa France Kennedy from NASCAR is another honoree. It’s a knock the ball out of the park group of honorees.”
Coughlin also expects Giants co-owner John Mara and Steve Tisch to be involved.
“We’ve been supported wholeheartedly all of these years by the New York Giants. The Mara and Tisch families have been fantastic and I am sure they will be involved again,” Coughlin said.
