The longer the New York Giants waited during the 2007 season, the more valuable that head coach Tom Coughlin became – especially after the team upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII; according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, Coughlin is expected to sign a long-term deal which will be announced as early as today.
Coughlin is expected to sign a 4-year deal worth a hair over $20 million, which will assure that he will be around until the 2011 season; back in 2004, Coughlin signed a 4-year, $12 million deal and following last season re-upped for another year for $3.5 million. But with the sudden success of the Giants this past season, it is expected that the Giants will tear up the old agreement and give Coughlin a sweeter contract.
