Perkins: Giants’ Coughlin has a lot left

Tom Coughlin turns 66 years old on Aug. 31, a day after Ray Perkins, for the first time in two decades, will walk the sideline as the head coach of a football team.

Perkins, 70, is about to enter his first season running the show for tiny Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Miss.

Perkins, the former coach of the Giants and Buccaneers in the NFL and Alabama in the Southeast Conference, doesn’t think for a second he’s too old to get back into the game. He’s a great admirer of Coughlin’s and doesn’t see the two-time Super Bowl winner going anywhere any time soon, either.

“Tom Coughlin’s got another 15, 20 years in him,’’ Perkins told The Post.

When that remark was met with laughter, Perkins quickly added, “He does. He works out, he takes care of himself, he feels good. He’s a great coach, and I mean it. He’s got 15 or 20 more years in him. And he is totally wrong if he starts thinking of retirement, in my opinion.’’

Coughlin recently signed a new contract through the 2014 season.
