Giants' Tom Coughlin On iPhone's Siri: 'I Don't Trust The Lady In GPS'

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Tom Coughlin is just an old-school guy from Waterloo. If you're not five minutes early, you're late.

And the New York Giants head coach definitely isn't OK with anyone speaking out of turn.

That means you, Siri.

"Two weeks ago I'm trying to get to a roller hockey game that my grandson is playing in, so (Giants vice president of player evaluation) Marc Ross had showed me how to talk to this phone," Coughlin said Wednesday at the NFC coaches breakfast in Phoenix, according to Newsday. "I don't trust the lady in GPS, I don't trust her, because they don't send you the right way. I hit the button and I go 'Park Ridge, New Jersey.' And she comes back on, she's giving me directions. So now I figure out where I am. I hit the thing and I said, 'Thank you very much, I know exactly where I am now.' And she comes back and says, 'You don't have to thank me.' I swear to God that's what she said. And then I couldn't get her to shut up."

He wasn't done.

"Every turn. 'Take a right here.' I know where I am. I know where I am," Coughlin said of his iPhone's chatty virtual assistant. "I'm a block away from my house and she's telling me where to go. I said, 'I know where I'm going.' "

But he's not totally out of touch with technology. The 68-year-old two-time Super Bowl champ said he'll text -- via the "hunt and peck" method -- from time to time.

Besides, he knows where to turn for help with this newfangled stuff.

"If I don't know how to do something, my 11-year-old grandson and 11-year-old granddaughter, they can do it," Coughlin said.
