Giants Land John Harbaugh With Agreement in Principle on Five-Year Deal

New York moved quickly with an orchestrated in-person push that secured his verbal commitment pending final contracts.

Overview

  • Harbaugh reportedly agreed in principle late Wednesday after a day of meetings at the Giants’ facility in New Jersey.
  • The sides are expected to finalize a five-year contract, with formal signing and announcement still to come.
  • New York outpaced the Falcons, Titans and Dolphins by flying Harbaugh on the owner’s jet and stacking executive meetings.
  • Key questions remain on staff composition and the working dynamic with general manager Joe Schoen, with Mike Kafka a possible holdover as offensive coordinator.
  • Harbaugh arrives with 180 wins, a .614 career mark, eight road playoff victories and a defense-first track record that the Giants hope will lift their floor and ceiling.
