LANDOVER, Md. (AP) – New York Giants co-owner John Mara says Tom Coughlin will return to coach the team next season.
Mara spoke after the Giants failed for the second straight year to make the playoffs. He said there was “never any doubt” that Coughlin would be back.
New York finished the season Sunday with a 17-14 win over the Washington Redskins, but the Giants didn’t get the help they needed to claim the NFC’s remaining wild-card berth.
The Giants went 10-6, making New York and Tampa Bay the first NFC teams since 1991 to miss the playoffs despite double-digit victories.
Coughlin has been the Giants’ coach since 2004 and led them to the Super Bowl title at the end of the 2007 season.
