Could the Giants have their new head coach by the end of the day?
John Harbaugh is in East Rutherford, N.J. on Wednesday to discuss the New York Giants’ head coaching vacany, according to multiple reports.
Harbaugh, 180-113 (.614 winning percentage) with a Super Bowl title and 12 playoff appearances in 18 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, has been the object of the Giants’ desire since the Ravens fired him after missing the playoffs this season.
Wednesday’s visit with the Giants is Harbaugh’s first official in-person coaching interview. He has spoke with Atlanta Falcons President of Football Matt Ryan, and had lunch over the weekend with Chris Mara of the Giants.
The Falcons and Tennessee Titans are considered the Giants’ primary competition for the 63-year-old Harbaugh.
There was a report earlier on Wednesday that co-owner Steve Tisch’s private plane had departed from Baltimore. Best guess, of course, is that Harbaugh was on that plane.
By interviewing Raheem Morris and Antonio Pierce in-person last week, the Giants satisfied Rooney Rule requirements and can hire Harbaugh or any coach now if they wish. Per NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Giants are the only team in that position right now, and “There is a chance he does not leave the building.”
The Giants, and their fans, can only hope.
