After extended negotiations, John Harbaugh has been appointed the New York Giants’ head coach with a five-year contract.
Harbaugh expressed enthusiasm for leading the Giants.
“This is the New York Giants,” Harbaugh stated via ESPN. “I’m proud and honored to be the head coach of this historic franchise, and especially excited to work with the Mara and Tisch families. But most of all, I can’t wait to get started with the great players on this football team to see what we can accomplish together.”
After parting ways with Harbaugh following 18 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, the Giants promptly engaged in discussions to secure him for the head coach position.
“We are proud to name John Harbaugh as the next head coach of the New York Giants,” team president John Mara announced in a news release on Saturday night, confirming the contract. “(General manager) Joe Schoen presented us an outstanding group of candidates, which allowed us to be deliberate and confident in this decision.
“Through numerous conversations, John consistently stood out for his conviction and vision for leading a winning organization, and we welcome him and his family to the Giants.”
The Giants aim for Harbaugh to provide the stability the franchise has been missing for years. New York has a 7-27 record over the last two seasons but has a young roster that can be developed and retooled into a promising situation.
Harbaugh possesses the coaching pedigree the Giants believe can elevate the franchise toward NFL prominence.
