15 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What exciting news do Giants fans have about John Harbaugh?

0.031 - 20.009 Boomer Esiason

taking your John Harbaugh calls right now, accepting the Giants head coaching job. What a day for Giants fans. 888-808-1019. That's the Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. I did see, though, that the Ravens coaching staff, Mike Garofalo put this out, is under contract until 2027.

20.449 - 27.616 Boomer Esiason

So Todd Munkin is probably going to join John Harbaugh, but there might be a little bit of consternation there.

0

27.816 - 43.161 Gio

I think, you know, again, And again, what you want is you want the coach that's coaching your team to have the coaches he wants. So whoever coaches the Ravens is going to want to bring people in. Now, Jesse Minter, if he goes there, he probably knows a lot of those coaches because he was there.

0

44.363 - 62.369 Gio

So that could be a reason why maybe some of those coaches may not end up leaving because Jesse Minter is coming there. Steve Bishotti would want them there, and I could see that. But I think they probably also wanted to get rid of Todd Munkin. It's one of the reasons that John Harbaugh probably decided that, you know, I'm not – I'm backing my coaches here.

Chapter 2: How are fans reacting to the news of John Harbaugh's hiring?

62.449 - 69.698 Boomer Esiason

Well, if John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson had a bad relationship, then Todd Munkin and Lamar Jackson obviously did not have the greatest relationship.

0

69.718 - 90.953 Gio

Well, we heard Todd Munkin on that podcast talking about he should have done more for Lamar Jackson and, you know. It is what it is. It just ended poorly, and it's unfortunate. But now, you know, Munkin's probably got to be excited about working with Jackson Dart, and I know that John Harbaugh's got to be excited about becoming the head coach of this legacy franchise.

John Harbaugh Day on WFAN. Jared in Philly. What's going on, Jared? What's up, boys?

0

98.362 - 107.074 Caller

Happy Harbaugh Day. Yeah, man. What's happening? I am pumped up. I'm pumped up. So, listen, the point I wanted to make is – It's interesting.

0

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Harbaugh's coaching style for the Giants?

107.134 - 128.633 Caller

After the 24, 25 season, you know, myself and Johnson, we were lining up calling for day ball to be fired. If you look back on it, had we done that, we probably don't draft dart because that was able to guy. Then we have a first year head coach during this hiring cycle and we don't hire hog bar our boss. So, um, I don't know. I've never been happier to eat crow for breakfast. Let's go blue.

0

129.315 - 141.177 Gio

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, like, again, it's all timing in sports. And, you know, the Giants found their guy, and he showed enough to get people excited about the team again.

0

141.157 - 163.062 Gio

and I think if you're a Giant fan, you wake up this morning, you've got to be really just absolutely, totally pleased with what the Giants are doing right now, going all in and giving John Harbaugh pretty much everything he wants, and he should be able to collaborate with Joe Shane pretty similar to what he had down in Baltimore. Fernando in Rutherford. What's going on, Fernando?

0

163.782 - 166.365 Caller

Good morning, guys. Happy Thursday. Happy Harbaugh Day.

0

166.445 - 169.729 Boomer Esiason

Yeah, happy Harbaugh Day to you, Fernando. What's going on?

170.283 - 186.365 Caller

So the school real one real quick, before I get to my point, the scuba top thing, that was an old Tom Brady, uh, trick from 2004. Uh, but anyhow, um, getting to my main point. And if I can real quick at the end, I'd like to give my kids a shout out because they listened to the show and they get a kick out of it when daddy calls.

186.406 - 207.843 Caller

So my main point, keeping a little bit of continuity, I think it's important. We retain or a coach hardball retains Carmen Brasila, uh, to keep the upfront tight. And I'll be quick. Uh, V, R, W, I love you guys. I'm proud of you guys. Keep working hard. And I love you guys. Great show. Have a great day.

207.863 - 223.544 Boomer Esiason

I appreciate it. It's very nice. Using the radio to tell your kids you're proud of them. You could tell, you probably could see them at some point and tell them that you're proud of them. Yeah, it was kind of cool. You did it over the radio and over TV. Yeah, over TV as well, yeah. Yeah, I mean... Streamed on Odyssey, the free Odyssey app.

223.565 - 235.541 Gio

Yeah, and again, like the Giant coaches, same thing, same situation. You know, I would think that... They would say, hey, look, we have these coaches here. They're under contract, and if you want to keep any of them, let us know who you want to keep.

Chapter 4: What challenges might the Giants face under Harbaugh's leadership?

252.522 - 270.268 Caller

Hey, guys. Happy Harbaugh Day. I'm a Jets fan here. All of a sudden, you know that the coach... Highly overrated. Giants still going to suck next year. And then what are the fans going to say about Harbaugh, you know? The Giants are convinced that they're like the Yankees of the NFL, like they're not the Yankees.

0

270.669 - 275.955 Caller

They think that they're the Yankees and the Jets are the Mets, and that's just not how it works, man.

0

275.975 - 285.627 Gio

I think you got to take it easy there, Steve. I mean, you got enough worries on your hands as opposed to worrying about John Harbaugh today.

0

286.265 - 303.825 Boomer Esiason

And you can't. I mean, I understand you're bitter, but the Giants are not going to suck next year. That over-under win total is probably going to go all the way up to 7.5, maybe even 8.5, honestly. I mean, if they win eight games next year, that would be great. Eight and nine would be an awesome first year for them, how bad they've been. But I expect it to be better.

0

303.865 - 307.85 Boomer Esiason

I expect them to have a winning season, and I expect them to go to the playoffs next year.

307.87 - 325.738 Gio

A lot of this is going to have to do with free agency, too. Who they sign in free agency, I would think you'd go mainly defense. There'll be some quality guys out there for them. And John Harbaugh, obviously, the other thing about him is that he knows what the Ravens were looking for as a coach.

326.259 - 347.931 Gio

And I would think that the success that they had down there, acquiring certain players and getting rid of players. You remember when they drafted Kyle Hamilton? And how that turned out to be, how that kid is so good. Most people wouldn't even be thinking, yeah, do we want a strong safety kind of guy? Is he too big? Is he too tall? That kind of thing. That kid turned out to be great.

348.311 - 348.532 Boomer Esiason

Yeah.

348.772 - 353.598 Gio

It was a great pick for them. Let's go to Mike. How about Zay Flowers? How about that pick?
