John Harbaugh and the New York Giants are working on an agreement to make him the team\u2019s head coach, two people with knowledge of the decision said early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn\u2019t been finalized. Negotiations are ongoing, but Harbaugh is expected to end up in New York.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh interviewed in person with the Giants on Wednesday, spending hours at the team facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Fired by the Baltimore Ravens after missing the playoffs on a missed field goal attempt at the buzzer in the season finale, Harbaugh is on track to pick the Giants over other possible landing spots, including Tennessee and Atlanta.<\/p>\n

The Ravens made the playoffs 12 times with Harbaugh in charge and won the Super Bowl in the 2012 season, a year after the Giants\u2019 most recent championship.<\/p>\n

General manager Joe Schoen, who\u2019s back for a fifth season running the football operations department, said he would cast a wide net in the coaching search. Interviewing Raheem Morris and Antonio Pierce satisfied the NFL\u2019s Rooney Rule requirements for minority or female candidates, and Harbaugh\u2019s visit to northern New Jersey paved the way to make a hire before any of the more than half-dozen teams with a vacancy.<\/p>\n
