Notable Virgos

Tom Coughlin
(born August 31, 1946 in Waterloo, New York)

The coach of the NFL Superbowl winning New York Giants is a Virgo.

For Virgo watchers, he is a fascinating study, embodying many of the strengths and weaknesses of Virgos.

His well-known tendency for having strict rules, impatience with those who are unable to keep up and disregard for what people think of him sometimes obscures his hard work, intelligence, teaching skills and meticulous attention to details.

From the CBS News article: "Surviving Tom Coughlin"

The guy was maniacal in his job. I used to watch his players walk down the hallway and cross paths with him and lower their heads to avoid eye contact.

But underneath that turtle-hard shell was a soft, good man. He was a family man, who took endless amounts of ribbing from his four kids. He loved it, too. They loved watching him try to figure out how to work the television remote. Yet he was so demanding when it came to football he once made his youngest daughter, Katie, now married to Giants guard Chris Snee, stand up while watching one of his practices. She was a teenager then.

Coughlin was also kind and caring to people in the community, starting the Jay Fund Foundation for one of his former Boston College players who was struck down by leukemia. A golf tournament goes on every year, too. His visits to sick kids, rarely ever publicized, were commonplace. Those who saw those visits found it hard to believe it was the same tough football coach, his dealings with the kids bringing joy to their faces.

Good or bad, he is fun to watch.
