Giants extend Coughlin’s contract

Published

on

Tom Coughlin received job security Wednesday when the New York Giants announced that his contract was extended through the 2016 season.

Although the Giants missed the playoffs each of the past three seasons, the team was widely expected to bring back the coach who guided the club to Super Bowl titles after the 2007 and 2011 seasons.

Asked about his contract status last month at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Coughlin said, “Security? Security? There’s 32 guys coaching one year at a time.”

Coughlin, 68, owns a 96-80 regular-season record in 11 seasons with the Giants, plus an 8-3 postseason mark. He was the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars from 1995 to 2002, posting a 68-60 regular-season record and a 4-4 postseason record. He twice guided the Jaguars to the AFC Championship Game.

Only Steve Owen, who led the team from 1931 to 1953, was in charge of the Giants for a longer stint than Coughlin.
