The New York Giants, off their Super Bowl triumph,
knew that some key personnel would have to get paid. One such member,
Head Coach of the Champion New York Giants, Tom Coughlin, is ready to
roll with a brand new deal, to the tune of $20 mil.
The New York
Giants, with about a month left in the season, were probably not sure
if they were even going to keep Tom Coughlin, much less grant him a
Super Bowl-sized contract. Details are said to be a four-year deal, in
the range of $20 million. Coughlin would be 65 years old at the end of
the deal, as he is wrapping up a 4 year, $12 million contract, which
ended in the New York Giants' Super Bowl win. Timing is everything.
Tom
Coughlin has paid his dues, and is now in his second stint with the New
York Giants. During his Head Coaching tenure these four years with the
Giants, his record has been uneven at times, not just in the standings
but with players as well. Dissention on the team in past years,
questions about Coughlin being able to communicate, and that maybe
today's players were just not buying his hard-edged style.
Eli
Manning seems to have no issue with Coughlin, coming of age at just the
right time for Coughlin and Coughlin's bank account. Worth it? In
today's market, probably so. Coughlin proved that he could outcoach the
game's best, when it mattered most. Congrats to Coach Coughlin, who
when no one said they could do it, made a playoff run for the ages.
