The New York Giants are fully committed to pursuing John Harbaugh as their next head coach, reports SNY’s Connor Hughes.
The Giants previously held “internal conversations” about Harbaugh, and early expectations were that he’d emerge as the clear favorite for the job. The organization views the veteran coach as the ideal leader to stabilize and elevate the franchise after recent struggles.
Harbaugh could interview with the Giants as early as Thursday.
Harbaugh became available following his departure from the Baltimore Ravens, where he built one of the NFL’s most consistent programs and won Super Bowl XLVII. His track record of sustained success, player development, and defensive excellence has made him the most sought-after coaching candidate this cycle.
Interest is intense: Seven teams have already reached out to Harbaugh, with the Miami Dolphins reportedly making contact most recently.
