Tom Coughlin has finalized a four-year, $21 million contract extension with the Giants that has been widely anticipated for the last several days.
A formal announcement will be made tomorrow morning, according to a person familiar with the situation.
There was never any question that Coughlin would receive the extension; it was only a matter of how much it would be worth and how long it would run.
The new deal will replace his previous agreement, which was scheduled to run through 2008. Coughlin will now be under contract through 2011.

I was ecstatic when Coughlin was hired to replace Fassel, thinking that he was the right man at the right time for this team. At the end of last season and after the first two games in 2007, while I still knew he was a really good coach, I believed my initial impression was totally wrong.
And I was wrong about that, too.
What a turnaround.
For the Giants, and for Coughlin.
Well-deserved.
isn"t a press release and a formal announcement the same thing?
