Giants Host John Harbaugh for First In-Person Interview, Can Hire Immediately

New York holds a procedural edge after satisfying Rooney Rule requirements.

Overview

  • Harbaugh met Wednesday at the Giants’ facility in East Rutherford in his first in-person interview since his Ravens firing, with owners John Mara and Steve Tisch and GM Joe Schoen involved, per multiple reports.
  • Team insiders and national outlets report the Giants have led an aggressive courtship, with an expected offer near $20 million per year and discussions about granting Harbaugh meaningful personnel influence.
  • Quarterback Jaxson Dart took part in the meeting and Harbaugh has been studying his film, signaling the franchise’s QB plan is central to the pitch.
  • The Falcons and Titans are viewed as primary competitors, with further in-person meetings expected after a virtual session with Atlanta earlier this week.
  • Some reports suggested a same-day framework deal was possible, though others indicated Harbaugh planned to return to Baltimore and proceed with additional interviews.
