Overview
- NFL Network and ESPN report Harbaugh is at the Giants’ facility today for an in-person interview, his first on-site meeting since leaving Baltimore.
- He is expected to meet with the Falcons and Titans by the end of the week as his shortlist focuses on those three teams, per multiple reports.
- The Giants have mounted an aggressive courtship that included Chris Mara visiting Harbaugh in Maryland and outreach from Eli Manning, Tom Coughlin, and recently fired coach Brian Daboll.
- Quarterback fit looms large as Harbaugh has studied rookie Jaxson Dart on film, and Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti has said he doesn’t expect Harbaugh to take a job without a reliable QB.
- New York has satisfied the Rooney Rule and is positioned to move quickly, with some outlets reporting the team could extend an offer after a formal interview as their very public push carries reputational risk if unsuccessful.
