EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)--Tom Coughlin is ready to bring Bill Parcells' brand of smash-mouth football back to the New York Giants, once he gets a contract finalized.

The former Jacksonville Jaguars coach disclosed Tuesday that he has reached an agreement with the Giants, but the team said the search to find a successor to Jim Fassel was ``not a done deal.''

If there was a holdup on the four-year, $11 million contract, Coughlin sounded confident it would not take long to iron out.

Stalag Coughlin does remind me of Bill Parcells in terms of being tough-guy coaches. Now if among his many tasks, he can get Jeremy Shockey to STFU :rolleyes: and expand upon that great potential, the Gynts should be OK.

interesting. cause things were not going too well with the jaguars. i wonder how things will work out with the giants

Looks like this is one more step closer to having Bill Callahan be the new coach at Nebraska...

Callahan was supposed to interview in NY today, but ended up staying in Lincoln to continue his interview since his plane got delayed on its way to Lincoln. With Coughlin taking the job, looks like that option is gone for Bill

Thank God they didn't hire Bill Callahan.

The best thing is they'll have a high draft pick - hopefully they draft well this year, their past few drafts have been tough.

It has been confirmed, Coughlin to coach Giants.
