Former NFL Coach, Super Bowl Winner with Giants Dies at 81

Ray Handley served seven seasons as Bill Parcells' assistant, contributing to two Super Bowl wins before a brief, challenging head coaching stint with the Giants in the early 1990s.

  • On Monday, the New York Giants confirmed Ray Handley died last Thursday at age 81, citing his nephew Rob Handley.
  • Handley rose through Bill Parcells' staff after joining the Giants in 1984, serving 7 seasons and being named offensive coordinator in early 1991.
  • His tenure drew criticism as Ray Handley, head coach , compiled a 14-18 record with a 1992 collapse after losing six of his last seven games amid fan discontent.
  • Following his dismissal after the 1992 season, he did not take another coaching job, ending his coaching career, and was replaced by Dan Reeves.
  • Handley later became famously reclusive, largely withdrawing from public life for more than three-plus decades and is remembered for his lasting imprint on family, programs and players.
