Giants finalize deal with John Harbaugh to become new head coach

Our Summary

The New York Giants have appointed John Harbaugh as their new head coach, finalizing a five-year contract with the former Baltimore Ravens leader. Harbaugh, 63, brings a wealth of experience, having led the Ravens to the playoffs 12 times in his 18 seasons, including a Super Bowl victory. Known for his leadership and culture-building abilities, Harbaugh's tenure with Baltimore ended after a missed postseason and a loss in a crucial Week 18 game. The Giants, aiming to return to prominence after limited playoff appearances since their 2011 Super Bowl win, view Harbaugh as a key figure in revitalizing the team. He takes over a roster featuring promising talents like quarterback Jaxson Dart, running back Cam Skattebo, and wide receiver Malik Nabers, along with a strong defensive lineup. Harbaugh had also attracted interest from the Atlanta Falcons and Tennessee Titans before committing to New York.
