Giants Finalize Five-Year Deal to Hire John Harbaugh as Head Coach

The agreement resolves a control-focused holdup, with Harbaugh set to report directly to ownership.

Overview

  • The Giants announced Harbaugh’s hiring on Saturday on a five-year contract, with multiple reports placing the value near $100 million.
  • Harbaugh will report to owners John Mara and Steve Tisch rather than GM Joe Schoen, a structure he said mirrors his Baltimore setup.
  • A formal introduction is planned for Tuesday as Harbaugh begins assembling his staff following days of negotiations over organizational authority.
  • Todd Monken is reported as a frontrunner for offensive coordinator as staff building starts, though no coordinator hires have been announced.
  • Harbaugh arrives 11 days after his firing by the Ravens with a résumé that includes roughly 180 career wins and a Super Bowl title, taking over a Giants team with a young core, quarterback Jaxson Dart, and the No. 5 draft pick.
