New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has reportedly been in “direct contact” with John Harbaugh as the Giants and the rest of the NFL world wait to see how Harbaugh will approach interviews with the myriad of teams interested in talking to him about their head coaching vacancies.
“The order will be crucial. I’m told if he falls in love, he could agree to a deal and potentially call off rest of meetings. Advice to @Giants: Be first in line and don’t let him out of the building, whether it’s in NY or Baltimore.“
“I think both parties really want each other, and I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work out,” Ian O’Connor, columnist for The Athletic, said on the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast. “If you said I have to put down 20 bucks on a candidate today, absolutely, John Harbaugh will be the head coach of the Giants by the end of next week. That’s what I believe.”
Harbaugh obviously understands he is driving the bus here. If you want the Giants to bring the former Baltimore Ravens’ coach to East Rutherford, N.J. it sounds like you had better hope they get the front seat on that bus.
