This is going to be tough for all. Ray Handley, a well-known NFL coach, died last week at the age of 81. He helped the New York Giants win two Super Bowls and played an important role during the team’s best years. Handley worked as a trusted assistant under Hall of Fame coach Bill Parcells before later becoming the team’s head coach.
The Giants found great success while Handley was on the coaching staff. He worked as the offensive backfield coach during the team’s Super Bowl wins in the 1986 and 1990 seasons. New York defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI and shocked the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV. Those victories made the Giants one of the strongest teams of that time.
Handley took over as head coach after Parcells stepped down in May 1991. The team also lost defensive coordinator Bill Belichick, who left to coach the Cleveland Browns. The Giants then trusted Handley to lead the team into a new era.
