Coughlin called coaching the Giants the “fulfillment of a dream. The extension means he’ll avoid entering the final year of his contract. ... Still, as PFT's Gregg Rosenthal notes, this isn’t a long-term contract. Multiple New York-area reports indicate it’s a one-year extension through 2012. The extension avoids a problematic “lame duck” season for the 64-year old Coughlin, no matter what he does in 2012.
