The New York Giants have made a major decision for their future. Former Raven’s Coach John Harbaugh and the Giants have agreed on a five-year deal that makes Harbaugh the official head coach of the Big Blue.
Harbaugh has agreed to a $100 million contract, making him tied with Andy Reid of Kansas City for the highest paid coach in the National Football League. This move shows that the Giants are ready to turn their future around.
Mike Kafka was the most recent head coach of the Giants, after replacing Brian Daboll when he was fired after a Week 10 loss, which gave New York the worst record in the league at the time. From 2022-2025, Daboll led the Giants to a 20-40-1 regular season record.
John Harbaugh has one of the best reputations in the league as a head coach. During his time in Baltimore, he led the Ravens to a 180-113 record, 12 playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl victory. Harbaugh also won Coach of the Year in 2019. This reputation brings a winning culture to New York. Players and fans have a positive reaction to this decision. The Giants believe this is exactly what they need to return to playoff contention.
