What does winning the Super Bowl do for your job security? In Tom Coughlin’s case, it gives you four more years of employment. The N.Y. Giants head coach agreed to terms of a $21 million contract today that will make him one of the NFL’s highest paid coaches. He got a raise of $2 million per year.
I couldn’t be more in favor of this promotion. Coach Coughlin (and his staff) did an absolutely masterful job in preparing their team down the stretch of the 2007 season and into the playoffs. Just the other day I was thinking how still in disbelief I am that the Giants are Super Bowl champs. They went from mediocre to unbeatable seemingly overnight. And Coach Coughlin was on the verge of losing his job after the Giants went 8-8 in 2006 and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year. How quickly things change. And how quickly Tom Coughlin went from virtually fired to rehired.
