NFL News Harbaugh To the Giants (still being finalized)[Jan 17: signs 5yr deal]

[ViperGTS]

Harbaugh is finalizing a deal to coach the Giants.

Per Shefter.

Congrats to all
Of course, the problem in New York is management.

 

[Foxypats]

He’s a pretty good coach, I’m actually glad he’s not in the AFC anymore and especially the AFC East.

 

[NFL Mystique]

Giants get an experienced HC who should bring credibility back to the organization. Harbaugh gets a team with a potential franchise QB. Not to mention the talent at RB and WR. Perfect fit for both parties.

Agree completely, things went sideways this year with injuries to Lamar and others. He is one of the most experienced and good coaches in the market right now.

This was the logical, best place for him.

Now let’s see if he ruined Lamar (and does the same to Dart), or Lamar was one who fell short (& the two have success in NY). (Being slightly facetious).

Im going with the latter.

I think the Ravens will flounder for many years to come... they sold their coach out for a qb. This has happened a few times in the nfl... where the qb dictated or at least helped orchestrate such a change.

Imo the only qb that should have stayed over a superbowl winning coach was Brady.

Kraft fd that up so bad.

Smart man: he really thought about playing against Allen and Maye Four Times a year.

Since Harbaugh was rumored to go to Miami, I am glad to see him not in the AFC East.

That said, if I was the Giants, I would have rather gone for Kevin Stefanski. They probably need an offensive minded head coach to coach the recklessness out of Dart.

He can pull a Vrabel by finding his Josh.

lets see who his coaches will be
he needs an oc like McD

Harbaugh > Stefanski C'mon Rob.

I am not sure if Harbaugh is like Belichick and other head coaches when they get older and start to lose their edge. Harbaugh made a lot of stupid decisions this year. Maybe it was just the situation, but he reminded me a lot Belichick in his final couple of years with the Patriots.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Great news, i did not want him going to miami.

Im honestly on the fence about how much hes to blame for the bmore failures. Lamar imo is a choke artist, andrews drops a gimme last year, and this year the kicker chokes. They did all happen on his watch i guess? But for sure he is going to make his team more competitive.

Harbaugh was leading edge with analytics when he became the HC
he has fallen behind in general to the creative, innovative, offensive minds seemingly coming in waves the past number of years.

So do the Eagles and rumblings here re that McD is big on their list for OC after this year's disaster.

When we were playing against them I really felt like there was a chance they might be one of the next big teams. Dart has got a ton of heart and if they can get him to chill on taking hits a guy like Harbaugh might do really well with him.

Genuinely would not be surprised if the Giants get to another Super Bowl in the next 2-3 years under him.

 

[ErniesPinkStripes]

Sucks but great move by NYG. Even if he never wins a SB with them, still a great hire to stabilize and turn their ship around. They have a bunch of talent, I could see them having a great year next season. Hope not

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Not a surprise.

That has to be a factor for candidates looking at the current Dolphins vacancy and next year's Jete vacancy.
