John Harbaugh is interviewing for the New York Giants’ head coaching job at their team facilities in New Jersey on Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
It is the former Baltimore Ravens boss’s first in-person interview with another team since his 18-year run with the AFC North squad ended last week, following a narrow playoff miss in Week 18.
Since he became available, the 63-year-old Super Bowl winner became the Giants’ undeterred No. 1 priority, with long-time executive Chris Mara having lunch in Harbaugh’s Baltimore-area home on Sunday. He had also received calls from the likes of Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning, and even the recently-fired Brian Daboll about the organization.
Considering the Giants have fulfilled all of the rules necessary in the NFL’s head coaching search process, they could hire Harbaugh immediately.
There is a long list of other suitors, though, who would like a crack at bringing Harbaugh on. The Tennessee Titans and last year’s No. 1 draft pick, quarterback Cam Ward, are among interested parties, as is the Atlanta Falcons, who narrowly missed the playoffs with an 8-9 record in the very winnable NFC South.
But the Giants have plenty of allure for coaching free agents, even if they have won just seven combined games over the last two seasons. Jaxson Dart appears to be the franchise quarterback of the future, and his offense has some weapons to work with in fellow rookie running back Cam Skattebo and star wide receiver Malik Nabers — both of whom are recovering from season-ending injuries sustained in 2025.
The defense is rich with pass rushers like Brian Burns, who ranked second in the NFL in sacks this season, rookie Abdul Carter, and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence is also among the best at his position.
