Are Giants Closing In On John Harbaugh?

12 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What led to the speculation about John Harbaugh joining the Dolphins?

0.031 - 24.381 Gio

On Friday, I felt like the John Harbaugh to the Dolphins thing was a done deal. It felt like Stephen Ross was clearing the deck to go out and get John Harbaugh and that they had a GM opening and we had made the... as many of the NFL insiders had, that there was a general manager candidate out in L.A.

24.461 - 45.462 Gio

as a member of the Chargers organization working with Jim, who had ties to John, who was going to go be the GM because he had interviewed with Miami. And then all of a sudden, bang, you're going to have this huge salary given to John Harbaugh. Those two guys are going to work together, and he's going to go to Miami in a no-state income tax state. Well, things changed over the weekend.

0

45.745 - 50.071 Gio

Because that guy who was linked to the Harbaughs did not take that job.

Chapter 2: How did the coaching landscape change for John Harbaugh over the weekend?

50.813 - 71.463 Gio

A member of the Green Bay Packers organization took that GM job down in Miami and started to cool off some of that conversation. Then there were other reports about how John Harbaugh really likes Jackson Dart. He's been studying tape of Cam Ward and Jackson Dart. And still the Giants are... Right at the top of that list.

71.483 - 83.842 Gio

Now, Ian O'Connor is someone that we have gone to many times to see what he is saying because he is someone who is very plugged in and he's going to be a guy that's going to have these things right.

0

Chapter 3: What insights does Ian O'Connor provide about John Harbaugh's potential move?

83.922 - 113.367 Gio

So, he writes this on X 14 hours ago. As the Giants prepare to close on John Harbaugh in the coming days... For Giants fans wanting to learn who he is, where he came from, and what makes him tick, I visited his home in 2016, and he wouldn't start the interview until he routed me in some competition. And he links an article that he wrote in 2016 about John Harbaugh. But for him to put out...

0

113.347 - 135.514 Gio

as the Giants prepare to close on John Harbaugh. To me, it says a lot about what's going on here. I mean, and then he followed that up with, nothing has changed in the five days since I wrote below, but when John Harbaugh was fired after studying film time, I told Harbaugh, still has high regard for the Giants and their job, and their QB.

0

135.734 - 141.902 Gio

We'll see about Green Bay, but either way, this should be a fascinating week. So basically, if Matt LaFleur

0

Chapter 4: What factors are influencing the Giants' interest in John Harbaugh?

141.882 - 150.516 Gio

gets fired, then you got to worry about that. If Nick Sirianni gets fired, I guess you got to worry about that. But if either one of those guys stay, it does feel like the Giants again.

0

150.796 - 159.891 Boomer

Yeah. You know, the other thing, too, is I do believe that I think it's John Eric Sullivan was the GM of the Dolphins now.

0

160.291 - 161.653 Gio

Yes. He's the guy who came from Green Bay.

0

161.974 - 165.139 Boomer

Right. I believe he has the same agent as John Harbaugh.

0

165.119 - 167.362 Gio

Okay. Well, I mean, a lot of guys have the same name.

167.382 - 169.365 Boomer

I know a lot of guys do have the same agents.

Chapter 5: How does John Harbaugh's coaching history impact his potential hiring?

169.385 - 189.692 Boomer

A lot of guys. The agents control a lot of this, too, by the way. They are definitely involved. But, yeah, I would say I feel better this morning than I did Friday. Yeah. Without question, especially if Matt LaFleur comes loose.

0

189.807 - 204.34 Gio

Yeah, and then people are making the connection to LeFleur, to the Falcons, if that's a possibility. I mean, at this point... There's going to be – there's at least John Harbaugh, Kevin Stefanski, and Mike McCarthy if you're looking for someone who's got experience.

0

204.36 - 214.174 Gio

There might be – I mean, Nick Sirianni's not going to take the Giants job, but there might be Nick Sirianni, Matt LaFleur, Kevin Stefanski, John Harbaugh, and Mike McCarthy available.

0

214.194 - 224.91 Boomer

It's crazy. It's crazy how many – there'd be a quarter of the teams changing their head coaches. And I just don't know how you –

0

224.89 - 243.692 Boomer

think you can get better than Matt LaFleur and Green Bay I know they they've gotten stuck and they've lost games at the end of the at the end of games here they've blown leads um you know they had some injuries just like everybody else does but I what what does he do wrong as a coach is like what what I want what I would want to know

243.79 - 262.255 Gio

lose to the Bears in embarrassing fashion in the playoffs. I mean, that's what everybody's going to say. And when you say, how can you do better? I mean, I think that people will say, if John Harbaugh weren't available, then you're sticking with him, but he's available and you feel like you can get him, then maybe you go out there and you hire him if he wants that job.

262.235 - 280.412 Boomer

And I know that the Miami Dolphins have reached out to John Harbaugh. They've reached out to Chris Shula, grandson of the great Don Shula. I'm sure they're going to reach out to Clint Kubiak. And by the way, Troy Aikman will be a part of helping them navigate through the head coaching search as well.

280.392 - 293.931 Gio

Yeah, and the reports were that Troy Aikman was heavily involved in this GM hiring, like to the point where this was the guy that he was most impressed with. He ends up getting the job, the John Eric, John Von Eric Sullivan or something.

293.971 - 294.832 Boomer

John Eric Sullivan.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Jets considering Jalen Hurts?

300.22 - 315.711 Gio

I think it is a hyphen. John Eric Sullivan? I believe so. Red Pocket Mobile? Is that the way it is? By the way, if you'd like to join the show, 888-808-1019. And that's the Red Pocket Mobile fan line. It's brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile.

0

315.731 - 324.583 Boomer

It is a hyphen. A little hyphen. And it's a John without an H. Oh, okay. It's an Eric with a C. John Eric Sullivan.

0

324.603 - 331.133 Gio

Generic. Generic Sullivan. Let's go to Anthony in Garden City.

0

Chapter 7: What challenges are the Jets facing in their quarterback search?

331.153 - 334.918 Gio

What's going on, Anthony? Hey, good morning, guys. How are you? Good. What's up?

0

335.489 - 358.223 Unknown

I was just thinking, if you're talking about the deconstruction of the Eagles after that loss, do you think that it would be worth it for the Jets to possibly move around some of their first-round picks and put an offer out to acquire Jalen Hurts, possibly, instead of scrambling around trying to get that bridge quarterback and then, you know,

0

358.388 - 365.604 Unknown

maybe make a move to go that direction as opposed to the unknown with another early draft pick on a quarterback.

0

365.664 - 391.952 Boomer

So that means that Garrett Wilson's not going to get the ball in the second half. Yeah, I mean, listen, anything's possible right now. All I know is that Fernando Mendoza cemented his number one. I mean, he only threw the ball 20 times, but the balls that he threw were, you know, high-end, professional-type touchdown passes. Five completions. I mean, he was the real deal against Dante Moore.

0

391.972 - 394.318 Boomer

And, you know, it was interesting. You see all the memes on...

Chapter 8: How do recent performances affect Jalen Hurts' trade value?

394.872 - 414.439 Boomer

on X and all the posts on Instagram about how Dante Moore is going to fit in perfectly with the Jets when he throws the interception for a touchdown. Then he, you know, mishandles the ball and fumbles it. And I, for one, and I'll continue to say this, I hope he stays in college for another year. You know, he'll come out, he'll be a top quarterback next year.

0

414.499 - 419.125 Boomer

But I would think that maybe Oregon would make it worth his while to keep him.

0

420.387 - 435.949 Gio

Yeah, so just the Jalen Hurts thing, because I do think that Mendoza is going to be the number one overall pick. The Jets aren't going to get him, and then I think that Dante Moore, after this, I don't know if he's selected number two overall. But I hope he stays in college. He should stay in, but...

0

435.929 - 456.135 Gio

Just thinking about if Jalen Hurts were to be available and it was one of these things where you feel like you're not giving up your future franchise with the draft picks to go and get him, that is someone I would consider. I don't know what the hell is going on there. I understand he's had some weird games and some... Weird relationships with A.J. Brown.

0

456.155 - 464.185 Gio

I don't know what that is, but I've also seen this guy win a Super Bowl and also in the Super Bowl that he lost be the best player on the field.

464.225 - 481.528 Boomer

He should have two Super Bowl MVPs. He just fumbled one ball against Kansas City that was returned for a touchdown. I mean, he was the best player on the field in that game. Yes, he was. I mean, there was a consideration he was going to get the Super Bowl MVP and a loss. He was that good. You know, the amazing thing is that how far they have fallen.

481.728 - 495.687 Boomer

And I don't know if it's the fact that Kellen Moore's not there, Shane Steichen's not there. I don't know what to tell you. But it is remarkable how far they have fallen offensively.

495.768 - 513.308 Gio

Yeah, I mean, and Saquon had a really good game yesterday, but that was, I mean, that was really it. Did you see that tackle by that rookie defensive back hit Saquon right in the thigh? Oh, yeah, well, that was the hip situation where he ended up getting off the field, and he came back, but he was, yeah, he was.

513.529 - 516.897 Boomer

A little sore this morning. That was some kind of tackle, man, by that kid.
