Giants reportedly finalizing agreement to hire John Harbaugh as next head coach
It looks like the New York Giants are getting the guy they've been pushing for since he became available: John Harbaugh.
The Giants are finalizing an agreement with the former Baltimore Ravens head coach and a deal is expected barring a significant setback, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal is expected to be five years in length and with total value of $100 million one of the largest contracts in the league according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
Harbaugh will become the Giants' fifth head coach (seven counting interims) since Tom Coughlin resigned in Jan. 2016. Former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken is expected to reportedly join Harbaugh on his staff.
The Giants' interest in Harbaugh was obvious from the moment he became available. The team was immediately reported to be targeting the coach after he was let go by the Ravens and the interest was mutual, with Harbaugh reportedly watching film of Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart (as well as Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward).
