EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Tom Coughlin, el ex entrenador de los Giants que llevó a la franquicia a sus dos últimas victorias en el Super Bowl, ha dado un paso más hacia su posible consagración en el Salón de la Fama del Fútbol Profesional.
Coughlin, entrenador de los Giants de 2004 a 2015, fue nombrado una de las 12 personas en la categorÃa de Entrenadores elegibles para la Clase de 2025 del Salón de la Fama.
Dan Reeves y Bill Arnsparger, otros dos exentrenadores en jefe de los Giants, y Marty Schottenheimer, que fue entrenador asistente de los Giants, también están entre los 12 finalistas.
El Comité Blue-Ribbon de nueve miembros para postular Entrenadores redujo su lista original de 14 nominados a 12 entrenadores: Además de Coughlin, Reeves, Arnsparger y Schottenheimer, están Jeff Fisher, Alex Gibbs, Mike Holmgren, Chuck Knox, Richie Petitbon, George Seifert, Mike Shanahan y Clark Shaughnessy.
Los estatutos del Salón de la Fama estipulan que cada miembro del Comité Blue-Ribbon vote por 12 personas en esta fase del proceso de selección. Cada uno emitirá un voto adicional a finales de este mes para reducir la lista a nueve semifinalistas, y los resultados se anunciarán en aproximadamente dos semanas.
Mediante una secuencia de votaciones de reducción a lo largo de varias semanas, el Comité Blue-Ribbon seleccionará a un Finalista para la Clase de 2025.

FILE - In this Jan. 20, 2008, file photo, New York Giants NFL football head coach Tom Coughlin watches during the first half of the NFC Championship football game against the Green Bay Packers, in Green Bay, Wis. The coldest NFC championship game was the Giants' 23-20 overtime victory at the Packers during the 2007 season. Coughlin's crew had knocked off the top-seeded Cowboys in the divisional round, and his bright red cheeks in the minus-1 temperature with minus-23 wind chill at Lambeau Field provided the image many remember from that game.

A principios de este año, el Salón de la Fama revisó sus estatutos a partir de la Clase de 2025. Entre los cambios se encuentra la separación de las categorÃas de Entrenador y Contribuyente, que habÃan estado combinadas en los últimos ciclos de elección. A partir de ahora, ambas categorÃas enviarán nominados a través de sus respectivos Comités Blue Ribbon antes de que los candidatos sean considerados por el Comité de Selección en pleno. Los Comités Blue-Ribbon están compuestos por nueve individuos: siete que también son miembros del Comité de Selección en pleno y otros dos que tienen derecho de voto pleno solo para este subcomité.
Los nuevos estatutos también reducen el periodo de espera para los candidatos en la categorÃa de Entrenador de cinco temporadas fuera del juego a una temporada. Las personas que entrenaron por última vez en la temporada 2023 o antes son elegibles para la Clase de 2025.
Los logros más destacados de Coughlin fueron las victorias de los Giants contra los New England Patriots en los Super Bowls XLII y XLVI. Coughlin fue el segundo hombre en entrenar a los Giants durante al menos 12 temporadas. Sólo el miembro del Salón de la Fama Steve Owen, que lideró al equipo durante 23 temporadas completas entre 1931 y 1953, dirigió al equipo durante más tiempo. Con los Giants, Coughlin tuvo un récord de 102-90 en la temporada regular y 8-3 en los playoffs. Las 102 victorias son el segundo mayor total en la historia de la franquicia tras las 151 de Owen. Coughlin llevó a los Giants a tres tÃtulos de la NFC Este y a cinco puestos en los playoffs. Sus ocho triunfos en postemporada lo empatan con Bill Parcells como el entrenador de los Giants con más victorias en esa fase. Coughlin fue el entrenador de receptores del equipo de 1988 a 1990, una etapa que culminó con la victoria del equipo en el Super Bowl XXV.
Además, Coughlin fue el primer entrenador de los Jacksonville Jaguars, quienes empezaron a jugar en 1995. Con Coughlin, los Jaguars fueron el equipo de expansión más exitoso de la historia de la NFL. Coughlin logró un récord de 68-60 en la temporada regular (.531), además de una marca de 4-4 en los playoffs, incluyendo esos dos viajes al Juego de Campeonato de la AFC. Los Jaguars llegaron a los playoffs todos los años entre 1996 y 1999, siendo el único equipo de expansión de la historia en conseguir cuatro puestos en postemporada en sus primeras cinco temporadas.
El récord de 20 años de Coughlin fue de 182-157 (.537). Las 182 victorias lo colocan en el puesto 12 en la historia de la NFL.
Reeves fue entrenador en jefe de los Denver Broncos (1981-1992), Giants (1993-96) y Atlanta Falcons (1997-2003). Su récord general fue de 201-174-2 (.536) y ocupa el noveno lugar entre los entrenadores de la NFL en victorias en su carrera.
Reeves ganó cuatro campeonatos de conferencia en 23 temporadas y fue dos veces Entrenador del Año de la NFL por la AP, incluyendo en 1993 con los Giants.
En cuatro temporadas con los Giants, Reeves tuvo un récord de 31-33 en la temporada regular y 1-1 en la postemporada.
Reeves falleció el 1 de enero de 2022.
Arnsparger tuvo un récord de sólo 7-28 como entrenador de los Giants desde 1974 hasta los primeros siete partidos de la temporada de 1976. Logró su mayor éxito como coordinador defensivo innovador, ganando dos tÃtulos de Super Bowl con los Miami Dolphins y apareciendo en otros dos Super Bowls (Miami y San Diego).
Arnsparger falleció el 17 de julio de 2015.
Schottenheimer fue entrenador asistente de los Giants entre 1975 y 1977. Es más conocido por convertir a Harry Carson de ala defensiva en South Carolina State a apoyador en la NFL. Carson jugó allà durante 13 temporadas y fue elegido para el Salón de la Fama del Fútbol Profesional en 2006.
Schottenheimer fue entrenador en jefe de los Cleveland Browns de 1984 a 1988, de los Kansas City Chiefs de 1989 a 1998, de los Washington Redskins en 2001 y de los San Diego Chargers de 2002 a 2006. Su récord fue de 205-139-1, que lo coloca en el octavo lugar de todos los tiempos en número de victorias.
Schottenheimer falleció el 8 de febrero de 2021.
