Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) – New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin has agreed to a one-year contract extension and will remain with the club through the 2015 season.<\/p>\n
Coughlin was set to enter the final year of a contract he signed in June 2012. He told reporters of the new deal Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine.<\/p>\n
The Giants are coming off a 7-9 season, their first losing record since Coughlin’s first year of 2004. The 2013 campaign began with six straight losses, but the Giants went 7-3 over the final 10 games.<\/p>\n
Coughlin has a record of 90-70 during his 10-year run with the Giants, a tenure that has been highlighted by a pair of Super Bowl titles. The Giants beat the New England Patriots for both championships, first after the 2007 season and again following the 2011 campaign.<\/p>\n
The Giants, however, have not made the playoffs since 2011 and have just one postseason appearance in the past five years.<\/p>\n
Coughlin has the second-longest tenure in Giants coaching history, behind only Steve Owen’s 24-year stint from 1930-53. His 90 wins trail only Owen’s total of 153.<\/p>\n
In 18 years as an NFL head coach, including eight with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Coughlin has amassed a record of 158-130. He also has nine playoff appearances and a postseason mark of 12-7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
