What does the hiring of John Harbaugh mean for the Giants?
Sitting out here on the hood of this truck looking up at a caramel-colored sunset sky. Checking my watch, doing the math in my head, counting backwards to when you said goodbye. Well, those runway lights are getting bright.
Take off.
What was the Giants' pursuit process for Harbaugh like?
Welcome to Giants Nation. I'm your host, Bobby Skinner, here with my co-host, the football grump. And the Giants have hired John Harbaugh to be their 21st head coach of the franchise, to lead them forward, to lead them back to the promised land, hopefully. Lead us back to relevance. What a day, grump. This started with a morning of not knowing when... And when John Harbaugh was going to even interview, to we are tracking his plane for the interview, to the Giants are saying, hey, we're not going to let him out of the building. Then he gets reported he's leaving the building.
Who is John Harbaugh and what is his coaching history?
The Giants convince him to try and stay. He leaves. We all try to go to bed.
How do the coordinator hires impact Harbaugh's strategy?
Bam. Nope. It's happening. It's not fully 100% finalized, but when Adam Schefter tweets that it's happening, it's happening. John Harbaugh is the next head coach of the New York Giants crowd.
It's amazing too that in the midst of all of this, there was a nationwide Verizon outage where text messages and phone calls weren't going through for like 50% of the nation. So even in the midst of this, you and I were in sort of a blackout. I didn't realize that my texts to you weren't going through. I just thought you were busy and shit. But yeah, I mean, through all this waking up, not knowing that he's anywhere and then tracking planes. Oh, my gosh, he's landed. Grump, do you want to break some news? John Harbaugh's in the building today.
What sets John Harbaugh apart from other coaches?
And then, you know, he just he's still there.
What are the major question marks surrounding Harbaugh's hire?
Jackson Dart's meeting with him. Jackson Dart's car is still in the parking lot. Then, oh, geez, I guess John Harbaugh is leaving today.
What role does Joe Schoen play in the Giants' future?
He's got the Tennessee Titans going to his house tomorrow, which we have not at the time of this recording heard anything about that. since the news broke, which is interesting. You know, I guess we'll find that out in the next coming hours. And now it's Adam Schefter said it. Conor Hughes, I don't know if you saw that. Conor Hughes is basically saying that it is done. He is the coach. The Giants got their guy is the quote that he used. So it's done.
Why are fans relieved about not hiring Kevin Stefanski?
And I can't remember a time I felt more secure in a head coach hire. You know what I mean? Like Brian Dayball is excited about. But like first time head coach with a first time GM, a lot of question marks there can be excited without feeling secure. I feel secure and excited about this.
Absolutely. And there's questions we're going to hit on at the end, too. But this day is about John Harbaugh. John Harbaugh. It's all about John Harbaugh. Uh, so this is our official episode breaking down the hire. We're going to have a lot to come, uh, going forward. You know, uh, you know, we're going to try and interview some people who have covered the Ravens when they get the coordinator hired, right? There's going to be film analysis of them. We're going to be at the senior bowl in a couple of weeks, hearing everything people are saying to us. They are breaking big blue live with, uh, Jordan Renan is going to be down there with us. So, uh, like and subscribe to this channel. I think we are the number one spot for the New York Giants football.
Uh, we will have you covered all off season. We will not talk about the same topic over and over and over again. We're going to try and give you a bunch of, uh, different analysis, looking at a bunch of different things. So, uh, let's get into the day before we talk about why we're super excited about John Harbaugh specifically and what we think makes him a good coach. Um, So I was I was in panic, but I was worried because the day started and they're talking. There's reports of like, hey, one of the things they need to figure out is like the Joe Shane dynamic. Right. That's, you know, you know, ownership. Obviously, John Mara is sick. Chris Mara, the you know, the brother of John Mara went to John Harbaugh's house on Sunday.
It's like that's something they need to kind of work through.
