Reports: Giants Finalizing Deal to Hire John Harbaugh as Head Coach

Pittsburgh has begun its post–Mike Tomlin search by requesting to interview Brian Flores.

Overview

  • Negotiations between John Harbaugh and the Giants advanced after an in-person interview Wednesday, with multiple reports describing active talks that have not yet been finalized.
  • AP reports Harbaugh has paused other meetings, including a planned Titans interview, as both sides work to "reach the finish line" in New York.
  • If completed, the hire would be the first filled among nine head-coach openings this cycle, with the Giants already meeting Rooney Rule requirements to proceed.
  • Harbaugh, 63, was fired by the Ravens last week after 18 seasons that included a 180-113 record and a Super Bowl title in the 2012 season.
  • Following Mike Tomlin’s decision to step down, the Steelers entered the market and requested an interview with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, while Tomlin’s contract remains under team control through 2026.
