N.Y. Giants, Tom Coughlin agree to contract extension

[Auggie]

INDIANAPOLIS -- New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin won't be a lame duck in 2014.

The two-time Super Bowl-winning coach has agreed to a one-year contract extension, through 2015, he told reporters Friday at the NFL scouting combine.

Coughlin, coming off a bitterly disappointing 7-9 season, said the extension "was never a concern to me" because of the Giants' longstanding policy of not having their head coach in the final year of a contract.

Coughlin signed a three-year contract for a reported $20 million in June 2012, a few months after winning his second Super Bowl. It made him one of the highest-paid coaches in the sport. The Giants haven't made the playoffs since.

1. Good move.

I like Coughlin. Some of the assistants, not so much. Glad they did some house keeping. Now, work on getting an offensive line.
