It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN. All right, Boomer and Geo coming to you live from the Build Forward Tough studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network. Get some calls in this segment at 888-808-1019. That's the Red Pocket Mobile fan line brought to you by your new ultimate cell carrier, Red Pocket Mobile. So a lot of movement yesterday that may or may not mean anything. when it comes to John Harbaugh and his decision on where he's going to coach this year coming up. So first, the first thing that hits is you've seen this a lot now over the last number of years where a team will interview a head coaching candidate or a GM candidate and they will post on social media a picture of that guy and then they'll have the logo of the team and they'll say, we have completed an interview with so-and-so.
So out of nowhere yesterday, the Atlanta Falcons, boom, John Harbaugh's face, Falcons logos everywhere. We have completed an interview with John Harbaugh. So then everybody starts freaking out. Well, wait a second. Why? Falcons got the first? interview with John Harbaugh. I thought that the Giants were the ones. I don't understand this. So as the day goes on, it turns out that John Harbaugh had conversations over the phone with several teams and the Falcons were one of those teams. And he had a conversation with Matt Ryan that wasn't really an interview with the Atlanta Falcons for whatever reason decided that they wanted to put that out there, which I think was weird. So fast forward now a couple of hours and a guy we have mentioned many, many times on this show over the last week, Ian O'Connor, says that John Harbaugh and Chris Mara had met face to face.
And Chris Barrow went down to see John Harbaugh. They had a lunch and then an informal meeting at John Harbaugh's house. So this was the first time that any part of an ownership group had met with John Harbaugh. So now the Giants leapfrog in front of that. You know, it's amazing to be John Harbaugh these days.
What makes John Harbaugh a sought-after coaching candidate?
You get fired over the phone by Steve Busciotti. You feel like crap. Everybody's just going crazy over you. Now the other 31 teams in the NFL, especially the ones that need a head coach. And then you think of how the Baltimore Ravens fan is reacting to this. Oh, sure. You know, I mean, so he is in. the ultimate catbird seat to be able to pick and choose wherever he wants to go. And I love the fact that Chris Mara went down to go see him. That shows that the Giants are serious. That's ownership. That's somebody that went down to see him at his house. And that's how, you know, now John Harbaugh's agent is going to be playing this thing and is going to be trying to leverage all these different teams against each other.
And ultimately, maybe he's trying to push the Giants to a little bit more of whatever he wants, whatever he's looking for. Because I'm actually... I'm kind of excited that the Giants are still very much in this thing. Yeah, I mean, I still think that they are the favorites as we sit here right now. And if the Giants can't land John Harbaugh, that is a real referendum on where the organization is right now because they are doing everything. Joe Shane is recruiting and saying that, hey, I'm going to work collaboratively with you. I want to hear your input on the whatever you need. I'm going to be here for you. Chris Mara going in person and traveling to him. Just all of these things that you've seen the Giants do, it would be really tough to see him go somewhere else.
Now, we've talked about the Falcons. We've talked about the Dolphins. We talked about the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles as possibilities it doesn't look like those last two are going to be open but then Mike Garofalo drops out of the sky yesterday to make Giant fans feel nervous again and I love Mike Garofalo he puts this out there he goes as we wait for John Harbaugh to finalize his interviews sources say he likes what he sees in the Titans Cam Ward, $100 million in cap space, high picks, new stadium, GM Mike Borgonzi. He says, not saying he's going to Tennessee, just that for now, I expect them to be firmly in the mix.
