Maybe you get another Whaley/McDermott situation but I doubt it. Whaley. Whatever happened to that guy? Tried to steal the spotlight from Terry on the McDermott signing then kicked to the curb after the Draft. I mean, I really don’t care, just strange how he completely fell off the radar Quote

Harbaugh needs a QB and RB to develop, and keep adding pieces over the next two years in the draft and free agency. I always liked Harbaugh. Besides we get him in the NFC. Quote
H2o Posted January 15 Posted January 15 This is a good hire for the Giants. I am interested to see the staff he puts together. Who will he tab for OC to work with Dart, Nabers, and Skat? Who will inherit that defense with Burns, Carter, Thibodeaux, and Lawrence? They have some pieces to work with. 1 Quote

I mean, I really don’t care, just strange how he completely fell off the radar Him and McDermott just didn't see eye to eye (not surprising) and they didn't want to fire him until after the draft because he could go rogue and share the team's draft strategy/scouting reports, etc... with other team's. T. White, Dawkins, Milano and getting a 2018 1st round pick that eventually led to Josh Allen is a hell of a draft though. 2 2 Quote
Bill from NYC Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Smart move. I never cared much for the Giants but they are building a good team. Quote

Not really much of an opportunity if all they did was help the Giants check the box. I think the rule is an insult to minority coaches. 1 3 3 Quote

I'm guessing these guys were totally aware that the Giants were going to offer the job to Harbaugh, just like the rest of the football world was. I'm guessing the Giants anticipated a comment like yours and said "let's interview a couple of extra guys so it looks good and maybe we can even pick their brains a little for free." 1 1 Quote

Dallas is mid-reset, Washington is old and Philly is very talented but feels combustible. He will immediately be the best coach in that division. 2 1 Quote

I am sure the Giants' leadership was deeply concerned about comments on random message boards. Alternative explanation: they wanted to do due diligence and interview several candidates, and did so in a way that was Rooney rule compliant but without any particular focus on the Rooney rule. 2 Quote

Gregg Posted January 15 Posted January 15 John Harbaugh was picturing himself in Giants colors last week, a couple days after he was fired. "I think this is the job for me," he told at least one person. A monumental hire in the making for a franchise in desperate need of a difference maker at head coach. https://t.co/fUcwSBIFjs — Ian O'Connor (@Ian_OConnor) January 15, 2026 Quote

That would be nice.. but a lot of teams know who they want and just do it to keep the league off their back. Quote
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Certainly rather the Giants be on the upswing than the Jests, and here’s to hoping that Harbaugh and company keep the cowboys semi irrelevant and help the Eagles trend toward irrelevancy. Can’t hate the Commanders yet … 1 Quote
