The Giants want Tom Coughlin back next season and the two sides plan to discuss the possibility of a longer relationship.
New York co-owner Steve Tisch said Monday that the team plans to sit down with the 64-year-old coach in the very near future and discuss his contract.
Coughlin has one year remaining on a $21 million contract that he signed after the Giants won the Super Bowl in 2008.
"I'm very aware of the timing on Tom's contract, as is John [Mara] and [general manager] Jerry [Reese]," said Giants chairman and executive vice president Steve Tisch. "I don't think John, Jerry and I have ever let any of these issues linger on and in fairness to Tom and the team, this is an issue that will be addressed very, very soon."
