Giants Finalize Five-Year Deal to Hire John Harbaugh as Head Coach

The agreement resolves a dispute over organizational authority by having Harbaugh report directly to ownership.

Overview

  • New York completed a reported five-year contract worth about $100 million with the former Ravens coach, ending a multi-day negotiation.
  • Multiple outlets reported the holdup centered on contract language over reporting lines and operational control rather than salary.
  • Albert Breer reported that Harbaugh will report directly to ownership, a departure from the Giants’ typical structure under the general manager.
  • The Giants moved quickly after Baltimore fired Harbaugh 11 days earlier, outpacing interest from teams such as the Falcons and Titans.
  • Harbaugh begins evaluating the roster and assembling his staff, with early attention on rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and the team’s young core ahead of the No. 5 draft pick.
