According to Bob Glauber of Newsday, long after the Giants had suffered one of the biggest collapses in franchise history, Tom Coughlin sat in a darkened room inside his home, alone with his thoughts as he attempted to deal with the fallout.
“I sat in a room with the lights out for about 2½ hours,” Coughlin said Monday in the wake of Sunday’s humiliating 38-31 loss to the Eagles, in which the Giants surrendered 28 unanswered points in the final 7:28.
When he told reporters about this somewhat haunting behavior, which he apparently has engaged in after other difficult losses, there was a good deal of laughter. It was almost as if everyone thought Coughlin was joking.
He wasn’t.
“It’s not funny,” he said. “It’s not the way it’s supposed to be. What was I going to do, join in on [the] festivities?”
Someone asked Coughlin if he talks to anyone in particular to bounce ideas off after a loss. Evidently, he doesn’t.
“My wife [Judy] ignores me, and I don’t have a dog,” he cracked.
