History

Historical Context

The NFL merged with the AFL in 1970, creating a unified league of 26 teams divided into two conferences. This merger followed years of competition that escalated player salaries and led to innovations like the Super Bowl. The New York Giants, established in 1925, have historically pursued strong coaching leadership, exemplified by Bill Parcells' 1986 Super Bowl win, as they seek to enhance their current performance.
