====New York Giants (2004&ndash;2013)====

====Quarterbacks coach (2004&ndash;2006)====
In 2004, Gilbride was reunited with [[Tom Coughlin]] in New York, where he became the Giants' quarterbacks coach. He worked with [[Eli Manning]] in that position for three years, during which Manning, after replacing [[Kurt Warner]], led the Giants to a 1–6 record, leaving the team with an overall 6–10 record. He subsequently improved in 2005 to lead the team to an 11–5 record, capturing not only their first playoff berth since 2002, but their first division title since 2000. The Giants returned to the playoffs in 2006 but were ousted in the first round by the [[Philadelphia Eagles]].<ref>[[2006 New York Giants season#NFC Wild Card Round: at Philadelphia Eagles]]</ref> Following that season, the Giants announced that the entire coaching staff would return on one-year contracts for the 2007 season.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2726452 | title=Coughlin gets one-year extension from Giants| date=January 10, 2007}}</ref>

====Offensive coordinator (2006&ndash;2013)====
Midway in the 2006 season, Gilbride was named interim offensive coordinator. The "interim" tag was removed following the season, and on January 18, 2007, Gilbride was officially announced as the offensive coordinator.<ref name="prostar gil"/><ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=2735322 | title=Giants name Gilbride offensive coordinator| date=January 18, 2007}}</ref> In his first full season, the Giants went 10&ndash;6 and defeated the heavily favored Green Bay Packers on a [[Lawrence Tynes]] field goal in overtime of the NFC Championship Game to set up a trip to [[Super Bowl XLII]] against the undefeated [[New England Patriots]]. In what is called one of the greatest upsets of all time, the Giants won 17&ndash;14 to capture their third Super Bowl title.

Under Gilbride, the Giants had four years where their offense had scored 400 or more points.

In 2008, the Giants finished with a 12&ndash;4 record, but were ousted in the first round of the playoffs by the Eagles. Gilbride's offense scored 427 points, third in the NFL.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/2008.htm | title=2008 New York Giants Statistics & Players| website=[[Pro-Football-Reference.com]]}}</ref>

In 2008, the [[Oakland Raiders]] received permission to interview Gilbride for their vacant head coach position.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/2008/12/29/2008-12-29_teams_lining_up_to_interview_giants_stev.html | location=New York | work=Daily News | title=Teams lining up to interview Giants' Steve Spagnuolo & Kevin Gilbride | first=Ralph | last=Vacchiano | date=December 30, 2008}}</ref> The job eventually went to [[Tom Cable]].

The following year, the Giants fell to 8&ndash;8, yet still scored 402 points, good for eighth in the league, and the fourth highest total in team history.<ref name="giants kg">{{cite web |url=http://www.giants.com/team/coaches/Kevin-Gilbride/fc04a5c1-bd2c-4079-9831-577698386436 |title=New York Giants: Kevin Gilbride |website=www.giants.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004143743/http://www.giants.com/team/coaches/kevin-gilbride/fc04a5c1-bd2c-4079-9831-577698386436 |archive-date=2011-10-04}}</ref>

In 2010, the Giants improved to 10&ndash;6, starting 6&ndash;2. However, a rash of injuries down the stretch doomed the Giants as they once again missed the playoffs.<ref name="fbref 2010">{{Cite web | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/2010.htm | title=2010 New York Giants Statistics & Players| website=[[Pro-Football-Reference.com]]}}</ref> Despite the poor finish, the Giants had the seventh ranked offense in points and fifth in yards.<ref name="fbref 2010"/>

Following a tumultuous free agency period and some bad injuries prior to the season, the Giants began 2011 with a loss against Washington. By the bye week, they had a 4&ndash;2 record after defeating the Buffalo Bills in week 6. The team had a 6&ndash;2 record by week 9, which fell to 7&ndash;7 after a week 15 loss to the Redskins. However, they won a Christmas Eve game against the crosstown rival Jets, followed by a Week 17 game to sweep the Dallas Cowboys in the season series.

In the first round of the playoffs, they handily defeated the [[Atlanta Falcons]] 24&ndash;2, holding them to a first quarter safety being their only score. This was followed by a 37&ndash;20 divisional win against the Green Bay Packers, and set up another NFC Championship game appearance. The Giants faced the [[San Francisco 49ers]] in a game that ended 20&ndash;17 with [[Lawrence Tynes]] kicking a game-winner to send the Giants to the Super Bowl.

In [[Super Bowl XLVI]], the Giants once again faced the Patriots, and as they had four years prior, they defeated New England 21&ndash;17 to capture their fourth title. For the season, they finished 9th in the league in offense, scoring 394 points while allowing 400. Gilbride earned his second Super Bowl ring after the victory.<ref name="giants kg"/><ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/2011.htm | title=2011 New York Giants Statistics & Players| website=[[Pro-Football-Reference.com]]}}</ref>

For the 2012 season, the Giants finished 9&ndash;7 once again, but missed the playoffs. They scored 429 points, sixth in the league, but missed the playoffs again despite starting 6&ndash;4, going 3&ndash;3 after the bye week.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/2012.htm | title=2012 New York Giants Statistics & Players| website=[[Pro-Football-Reference.com]]}}</ref>

In 2013, the Giants began 0&ndash;6, causing many people to question Gilbride's future with the team.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.bigblueview.com/2013/10/3/4796270/fire-kevin-gilbride-eli-manning-new-york-giants |title = Fire Kevin Gilbride?

Despite Gilbride's two Super Bowl rings with the team, fans had grown impatient with the offense. At the end of the season, owner [[John Mara]] said "I think our offense is broken right now. We need to fix that".<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.bigblueview.com/2013/12/30/5257824/john-mara-new-york-giants-press-conference-tom-coughlin-kevin-gilbride |title = John Mara: 'I think our offense is broken right now'|date = December 30, 2013}}</ref>
