The longtime Baltimore Ravens head coach, who was fired last Tuesday, has already met with New York Giants executive Chris Mara, according to <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/01\/12\/sports\/chris-mara-had-first-sit-down-with-john-harbaugh-to-kick-off-giants-chase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Paul Schwartz<\/a> of the New York Post. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Though they won only four games this past season, the Giants have a lot to offer a coach like Harbaugh. They have a promising quarterback in Jaxson Dart, young difference-makers like Brian Burns and Malik Nabers, and the fifth overall pick in April&#8217;s draft. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">New York is far from Harbaugh&#8217;s only option this offseason.
