"Harbaugh, 63, has agreed to coach the Giants, and the two parties are now working to finalize the terms of that agreement to make it official, a source confirmed to the Daily News. The longtime Baltimore Ravens visited the Giants' facility in East Rutherford, N.J., on Wednesday. He had dinner at nearby Elia Mediterranean Restaurant with a Giants contingent that included executive Chris Mara, director of player personnel Tim McDonnell and GM Joe Schoen."
"Harbaugh, who won a Super Bowl in 2012 and built a career .614 winning percentage during 18 seasons in Baltimore, instantly restores some credibility and professionalism back into a Giants franchise that has lost its way. The Giants knew they needed to make a big hire. Schoen promised a sweeping search to turn over every rock and interviewed several candidates, from former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski to Denver Broncos special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi."
"Chris Mara, who has stepped into a larger role during co-owner John Mara's cancer battle, visited Harbaugh at his house last weekend to set the table for Harbaugh's visit to New Jersey on Wednesday. The Giants leaked tons of information about their heavy pursuit of Harbaugh during the chase, putting a lot of pressure on themselves to seal the deal. But Harbaugh was not turned off."
John Harbaugh, 63, has agreed to coach the New York Giants and the two parties are finalizing terms. Harbaugh visited the Giants' facility in East Rutherford and dined with Chris Mara, Tim McDonnell and GM Joe Schoen before returning home. He canceled a planned meeting with the Tennessee Titans as the Giants moved to close the deal. Harbaugh won a Super Bowl in 2012 and compiled a .614 winning percentage over 18 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. The Giants conducted a sweeping coaching search and pursued Harbaugh aggressively. Questions remain about Joe Schoen's role and Jaxson Dart's offensive coordinator.
