"It was only a matter of when, not if, Tom Coughlin's contract extension would be announced.
The answer: today.
The Giants have extended their head coach of eight seasons through the 2014 season. Financial terms of the new contract for the two-time Super Bowl winner are not yet available.
"It has always been my belief that it is an honor and a privilege to be the head coach of the New York Giants," Coughlin said in a press release announcing the new deal. "I'm thankful to John Mara and Steve Tisch and their families for their support and the recognition of what our players and coaches have accomplished. And I'm grateful for the working relationship Jerry Reese and I have. We've got a lot of work left to do.""
