firing by the Baltimore Ravens
New York Giants hire John Harbaugh as coach fresh off his firing by the
Baltimore Ravens
By STEPHEN WHYNO
AP Sports Writer
The New York Giants hired John Harbaugh as coach on Saturday, a person with
knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the move had not
been announced. The sides began working on a contract Wednesday night when it
became clear that Harbaugh was the right fit.
Harbaugh joins the Giants 11 days after he was fired by the Baltimore Ravens,
who made the playoffs 12 times with him in charge and won the Super Bowl in the
2012 season. They fell short this year after a missed kick at the buzzer in
Week 18, leading ownership to make an change and put Harbaugh on the market.
Giants ownership and general manager Joe Schoen pounced, bringing on a proven
winner with significant NFL head-coaching experience. Harbaugh interviewed in
person for the vacancy earlier this week, spending several hours at the team
facility, speaking with young quarterback Jaxson Dart and going out to dinner.
Harbaugh is now tasked with turning around the beleaguered franchise that has
made just two playoff appearances over the past 12 years and not made it past
the divisional round.
