Giants Host John Harbaugh for First In-Person Interview, Position Themselves to Hire Immediately

New York holds a timing edge after meeting league interview requirements that allow an immediate decision.

Overview

  • John Harbaugh visited the Giants’ facility on Wednesday for his first in-person interview since his Ravens dismissal, according to ESPN, NFL Network and Reuters.
  • The Giants are currently the only team able to finalize a hire due to completed Rooney Rule interviews, with NFL Network reporting there is a chance Harbaugh does not leave without a deal.
  • Team leadership has driven an aggressive courtship that included Chris Mara’s home visit, direct outreach from ownership and support from former Giants figures.
  • Harbaugh has studied rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and is said to be intrigued, while the Falcons and Titans remain scheduled suitors later this week.
  • Reports of large salary, staff budget and broad personnel authority requests are circulating from single-source outlets and are not broadly corroborated.
