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

The next step is filling the staff, with Ravens coordinator Todd Monken considered the leading candidate for offensive coordinator.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report New York is finalizing a five-year agreement that would make Harbaugh one of the NFL’s highest-paid coaches, though the deal is not yet official.
  • Todd Monken is viewed as the frontrunner for offensive coordinator but remains under Ravens contract, expects an offer from New York, and has recently interviewed with the Browns and Buccaneers.
  • A formal OC search must occur before any hire, and Harbaugh is expected to evaluate bringing additional Ravens assistants once his deal is complete.
  • Harbaugh’s arrival puts the status of interim head coach and former OC Mike Kafka in question as staffing decisions are made.
  • The move signals a shift toward proven leadership to accelerate development around quarterback Jaxson Dart and a young core, while reports of expanded roster authority for Harbaugh remain unconfirmed.
