On Wednesday, John Harbaugh was finalizing an offer to be the New York Giants’ next head coach. Harbaugh’s deal with the organization is expected to be for five years with a total value that nears $100 million, per Jordan Schultz.
Harbaugh will replace Brian Daboll , who the Giants fired on Nov. 10. Daboll was the Giants’ head coach from 2022-25. Daboll posted a 20-40 record during his tenure as the Giants’ head coach.
In Daboll’s debut campaign with the team, the Giants reached the NFL playoffs, but fell in the NFC Divisional round. They never reached the playoffs again under Daboll. Harbaugh will aim to return the organization to its former heights.
Harbaugh was the Baltimore Ravens’ head coach from 2008-25. He posted a 180-113 record during his 18 seasons at the helm of the organization. The Ravens reached the NFL playoffs 12 times under Harbaugh and won the Super Bowl in 2012.
After failing to reach the playoffs this season, the Ravens fired Harbaugh. Baltimore finished the 2025-26 campaign with an 8-9 record.
Harbaugh was one of the most sought-after targets in the coaching carousel after he was fired. Along with the Giants, the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans reportedly expressed interest in the 63-year-old head coach. Alas, he’s heading to The Big Apple.
