Coughlin will be given a new long-term contract with a substantial raise, and it could happen before the end of this week.

Coughlin, who entered this season having signed a one-year extension following an unsatisfying 8-8 season in 2007, will better that transaction when he’s given what is believed to be a four-year extension through the 2011 season with an average salary of around $5 million.

Coughlin will use the extension as an oppurtunity to become that same hard-ass coach he used to be, because there will be nothing they can do about it at that point. And that Eli has been getting a bit too big for his britches.
