The Facts:
Tom Coughlin's expected new contract extension reportedly will make him one of the NFL's highest-paid coaches. The New York Daily News reported Thursday that Coughlin will receive a four-year extension worth approximately $21 million from the Giants after leading New York to a Super Bowl victory over the Patriots.

According to the initial report, there are only minor details to be worked out and the newspaper reported that an official agreement could be announced as early as next week. The $5.25 million per year average will put Coughlin only below Seattle's Mike Holmgren, who will make about $8 million in 2008 and New England's Bill Belichick, who signed an extension last season and was believed to make over $4 million per year in his earlier contract.
