15 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What does John Harbaugh's hiring mean for the NY Giants?

0.031 - 2.834 Gregg Giannotti

It's Happy Harbaugh Day on WFAN.

0

2.854 - 5.518 Boomer Esiason

It's John Harbaugh. You all right? What? You all right?

0

7.6 - 12.346 Gregg Giannotti

I'm fine. If I asked you if you were all right every time you had phlegm, that's all we would do for four hours.

0

13.928 - 15.31 Boomer Esiason

I really thought you were choking.

0

15.41 - 15.89 Gregg Giannotti

No, I'm fine.

16.751 - 18.894 Boomer Esiason

It's okay. I'm sorry. No, no, it's all right. I care.

19.254 - 27.026 Gregg Giannotti

You just let it go. I can give you tips on how to let it go. Let it go.

27.746 - 29.468 Boomer Esiason

I usually do let it go. Six, seven times a day.

29.488 - 31.45 Gregg Giannotti

We all let it go. Yeah, yeah.

Chapter 2: How can a new head coach change a franchise's trajectory?

146.251 - 168.582 Unknown

Hey, gentlemen, how you guys doing today? Good, Stevie. What's up? Right on. GL, a question for you and Boomer. Boomer and you. is some time ago there was a conflict with some lady, Nikki and Marash, about Brian Duvall's firing, who posted what first. Would she know more about John being hired as the head coach for sure?

0

169.118 - 185.437 Gregg Giannotti

Yeah, I remember it. It's not DeBall. It's Brian Dayball. And there was, it was Nikki Gist and Sean Morash about Dayball's firing. Let's see what Nikki has to say about this. I haven't checked her account in a while. I don't even know if I started following her. I did not.

Chapter 3: What parallels exist between the Giants and the New England Patriots?

186.299 - 214.39 Gregg Giannotti

And we'll see if she's on top of this. There she is. Nikki Gist. And the latest thing she posted is... No one is saying... Not to be excited. Be excited about J.H. It's great for the franchise. Will be nice to have a winning culture here after years of losing. But your expectation can't be seriously Super Bowl or bust, right? There's so much work that needs to be done first.

0

214.731 - 219.587 Gregg Giannotti

Yeah, well, it's a pretty reasonable take. That's what we expect out of Nikki.

0

219.607 - 241.375 Boomer Esiason

And we also said just like, well, she gets pretty passionate when they're losing. They look like they stink and they don't care. And I can feel her pain because that's exactly how I feel about my hockey team. But when you are actually bringing in a guy like John Harbaugh, now it's not only putting a staff together. This is where Joe Shane now has to shine because he's got the draft picks.

0

241.395 - 259.592 Boomer Esiason

He's got the money for the free agency. He's got to make the decisions about the roster along with John Harbaugh, along with his coordinators. And they'll try to rebuild this team and get this team back into the playoffs next year. Why not? I mean, like Dallas will still be good. Philadelphia will be good. Washington will be better with Jaden Daniels back and healthy.

0

260.052 - 267.739 Boomer Esiason

So this is going to be one of the more competitive divisions, I believe, next year just simply because they've already hired the coach that brings the credibility.

267.719 - 292.634 Gregg Giannotti

If you could pick between any team in the NFC East next year, well, put them in order right now. Put them in order in the team that you expect, you know, how they're going to finish next year. I'll say the Eagles still number one. I got the Giants second. I got the Commanders third. And I got the Cowboys fourth. That's the way I would put it right now. That's how good I feel about the Giants.

292.814 - 297.22 Gregg Giannotti

I can't say they're going to win the division. I can't do it. I got the Cowboys last now.

Chapter 4: What factors contribute to a successful NFL coaching transition?

297.757 - 320.414 Boomer Esiason

Down, down, down. Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens with all the salary cap ramifications. Salary cap's going to go up over $300 million this year. Holy God. Man. And what that does to some of the decision-making for some of these teams and which free agents they may end up losing or players they may have to release just simply to give them some cap relief.

0

321.816 - 345.516 Boomer Esiason

But, yeah, I would... The Giants... Sitting here right now, they do have a good foundation of young players, and they do have a good, solid offensive line, and they have the electric quarterback to make it all go. So to me, they have to fix their defense, and they've got to make sure they get a goddamn kicker in here that actually can kick. Justin Tucker. Yeah, well, John Harbaugh knows him.

0

346.61 - 348.933 Boomer Esiason

Kicked all those years for John Harbaugh.

0

349.274 - 358.686 Gregg Giannotti

Now's the time for John Harbaugh to do something controversial because there isn't a single Giant fan that doesn't want him here and is going to support every decision he makes. Want to bring in the pervert kicker?

0

358.706 - 366.877 Boomer Esiason

Bring in the pervert kicker! I don't understand all that. Deshaun Watson's playing. He's active playing, getting the biggest contract in NFL history.

366.917 - 369.34 Gregg Giannotti

He was also a massage pervert.

369.38 - 372.364 Boomer Esiason

Why is he playing and why doesn't Justin Tucker get a second chance?

373.272 - 376.738 Gregg Giannotti

I think it's the quarterback position versus the kicker position.

376.899 - 384.853 Boomer Esiason

Well, we found that we know how important the kicker position is. But it's not as important as the quarterback position. John Harbaugh is probably available because his kicker missed a kick.
