Chapter 1: What are Boomer and Gio's thoughts on John Harbaugh becoming the Giants' new head coach?
I feel great for Giants fans today because they they got their guy and this could be the franchise shifting move that puts them back in the championship conversation I believe that it does this is going to be a fun one today it's everything that every Giant fan wanted and it happened last night they went all in to get their guy and it looks like they did good morning Boomer how How are you?
Yeah, good morning, G. And I would say, yes, I agree with you 100%. This is exactly what we were talking about last week. Before we thought maybe Stephen Ross would jump in and go grab John Harbaugh and just give him whatever he wanted down there in Miami when they let go of Mike McDaniel. We were like, that caught us all off guard. But initially it was like the best fit was Kevin Stefanski.
After Kevin Stefanski, then all of a sudden John Harbaugh was let go by Steve Busciotti down in Baltimore, and he is the number one guy for the New York Giants. I hope this happens for the Giant fans. I hope it happens for John Harbaugh, and I hope it happens for the Giants and John Mara. I really do. I mean, I want...
If you want relevancy, you want legitimacy, you want excitement back into your team, Jackson Dart has brought that. There's no question about that. But that's on the field. You need somebody to make sure they're running the ship and they are in control of the ship. And the other good thing that came out of all of this
Chapter 2: What implications does Mike Tomlin's resignation have for the Steelers?
which is something that didn't shock me, is that Joe Shane is not in any way, shape, or form inhibiting this. Maybe it's amplifying. Maybe it's helping because it seems like Joe Shane and, by the way, Brian Dable, Eli Manning, Tom Coughlin, Jackson Dart, all these people have spoken with John Harbaugh to tell John Harbaugh just how great a job this is.
And unfortunately, over the last 10 years, they went to the playoffs once. We've been here, and it's not been great. And it's all due in large part to the quarterback situation and Daniel Jones not being able to stay healthy. So now I think... This is, like I said, an inflection point, a turning the page point for the Giants.
And, I mean, I would think the momentum going into the 2026 season is going to be off the charts.
Oh, yeah. I mean, this is season tickets.
Chapter 3: What updates does Jerry Recco provide regarding college football recruiting?
This is everybody excited. All of a sudden, the feeling around the team does a complete workaround. If they had lost out on John Harbaugh, we would have found a way to be excited about whoever the next guy was, if it was Kevin Stefanski. But the entire fan base would have been disappointed. Of course, John Harbaugh has his flaws, has his faults. He doesn't have a perfect resume.
But when you talk about what this franchise has been, this is the exact thing we were asking for, but with the Jets. Last year, before they hired Aaron Glenn to get a CEO type, someone who's done it before, and that type of guy was not going to go and coach the Jets. And this is why the history of the New York Giants means something and the time that these guys are available.
And sometimes it is luck. Sometimes it is timing, and this was the perfect time for the Giant job to be open. John Harbaugh and the Ravens had to part ways. It had gotten stale, Lamar Jackson and him, and now they're coming together. And I was concerned.
Chapter 4: How does Kyle Tucker's signing with the Dodgers affect MLB's labor situation?
I was a little bit concerned that Tennessee or the Atlanta Falcons would present something to John Harbaugh that sounded better than what the Giants had because the Giants had been down for so long. But they pulled out all the stops and everything they could do yesterday, they did to get the guy. And that means that, you know, John Arbol looks at the Giants as that premier job that it should be.
And now they have the quarterback. They have the coach. Well, they haven't signed anything yet. No, he's the coach. Come on.
I just want to make sure that the contracts are signed.
Chapter 5: Why is Gio frustrated with Al Michaels' commentary?
That's all.
What's going to happen? He's not Josh McDaniels. He's not going to go and then bail and go back to New England.
Look, I'm really excited. I'll get really, really excited once that contract is signed. It's done. You know what that tells me?
Chapter 6: What are the predictions for the upcoming Divisional Round games?
It's done. If he signs this contract, what that tells me is that the Giants, not only have they gone all out for him and whatever they're going to pay him. But that means he is convinced that they're going to support whatever he feels like he needs in order to win here. They're not doing this on the cheap. They're doing this much like the Mets did with David Stearns.
Now, when David Stearns got hired, every Met fan was just, you know, goo-goo for Gaga over him. And look at what he's going through right now. And... But that's not going to happen to the Giants because this is not a GM. This is a coach, and he's going to bring in the best coaches he possibly can bring in.
And I would think that he's got to be pretty excited, especially if he meets with the quarterback. The quarterback sits down with him, talks to him, and gives him a sense of, I think, at ease that he is going to be the guy that's going to be leading the team on the field. I mean, everything points to, like, the perfect marriage, the perfect situation.
And now, finally, the Giants maybe, just maybe, have gotten out of this abyss where they have been stuck in reverse, actually. And they finally hired the guy that hopefully will be here for at least the next eight to ten years, and then he can walk off and retire, kind of like Tom Coughlin, maybe with two Super Bowls.
Who knows? Yeah, well, Tom Coughlin wanted to coach more, but of course he had the two Super Bowls, and his legacy here is cemented forever, and that's exactly what John Harbaugh wanted.
wants to do and that's what the giants expect him to do and we had talked so much about worst to first and what happened in chicago what happened in new england and before john harbaugh was available we said who are those guys that could coach the giants that could do what ben johnson did and what mike vrabel did and we couldn't come up with those names i'm calling don't forget him
But, no, we're talking about the guy who was drafted, the head coach that was fired. Oh, I see what you're saying. The next year. Okay. And how you had the number – and teams that have won championships in their legacy franchises, and the Patriots are now, too. So who was that guy going to be? And then John Harbaugh becomes available, and now I expect – I mean, I'm not just hoping.
I expect – the Giants down to do what those two teams did. Maybe not get all the way to the divisional round, but to make the playoffs, to not be in the basement and be in the conversation all the way to the end of the season and play a playoff game. That's how quickly it can turn around when you have the right guy at head coach and the right guy at quarterback.
And as we sit here today, I don't think anybody's arguing that they don't have those two guys. They do.

Chapter 7: What are the listeners' reactions to the recent coaching changes?
He's 63, I think.
But he's a young 63. He looks like he's got great vitality and he can go on. If Darius Slayton is right and John Harbaugh heard that and Chris Mara and the Mara family and the Tisch family and Joe Shane and everybody over there is talking to John Harbaugh about this is what we need in the locker room, he'll come in reinvigorated as a head coach.
And what you're referring to is Darius Slayton saying after the season that they needed a Tom Coughlin type to come in and settle things down and be that type of leader. And that's exactly what John Harbaugh does. I mean, all of these coaches.
Didn't they say that after the Shermer experiment?
Oh, my God. Yeah. I mean, think about all these guys that have come in here. That was Joe Judge. Joe Judge was supposed to be that guy. Yeah. Yeah, Joe Judge was supposed to be that guy. Brian Dable was supposed to be that guy. Pat Shermer was supposed to be that guy. Ben McAdoo was supposed to be.
All of these guys were supposed to come in and be the next great Giants head coach, and we had hope for every single one of them. This is different, though. This is different, and he is a football lifer. He is a Super Bowl champion. He's got an insane regular season record when it comes to wins and losses, obviously. He's got a winning record in the postseason. Here's the
I mean, you can't do any better. Here's the other thing about the Ravens. The Ravens, when he was there as their head coach, and this was a big thing with him, and I hope it becomes a big thing with the Giants because this is going to be part of the culture turnaround here and the expectations. You remember, they win every preseason game. They win. He wants to win. That's all that matters.
As a head coach, he's not trying to protect anybody. He's trying to beat it into the heads of the players that he is coaching that we are winning. I know it's a small little part of his legacy down in Baltimore, but their preseason record under him was ridiculous. He was expecting everybody on that roster to play and to win.
Yeah, and that says a lot because there's a lot of those guys that play in those preseason games that don't end up on the final roster, and he's got those guys playing their asses off and wanting to win and not just about themselves and everything else.
