PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) Giants coach Tom Coughlin wasn't exactly gloating. Well, maybe he was.
Asked at the NFC coaches breakfast about all the attention the New York Jets have been getting with their trade for Tim Tebow and contract extension for Mark Sanchez - in other words, their budding quarterback controversy - Coughlin simply smiled and said:
"You know who won the Super Bowl even if we're not on front page. New Yorkers know."
Coughlin also says he doesn't believe in rotating quarterbacks.
"I don't have a lot of experience with that," Coughlin said, again smiling at the thought he has Eli Manning, a two-time Super Bowl winner. "Once you start to develop your guy, you like him to have the ball in his hand."
Coughlin seemed aghast when asked if he would take the ball out of his starting QB's hands for, say, 20 snaps a game.
"With our guy?" he said. "I don't do hypotheticals."
Not so theoretical is the coach getting a contract extension. Giants owner John Mara said the team expects to work out an extension for the 65-year-old Coughlin very soon, probably within a month or so. It likely will be the final contract for Coughlin, who last year received an extension through 2012.
"There's talk," Coughlin said, "and quite frankly, it will get done."
He indicated it will be for several years.
