NY Giants - Coughlin Worth 20 Million
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.
