"John Harbaugh has agreed to the five-year deal the New York Giants offered him earlier this week, the longtime coach told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday. "This is the New York Giants," Harbaugh told ESPN. "I'm proud and honored to the head coach of this historic franchise, and especially excited to work with the Mara and Tisch families. But most of all, I can't wait to get started with the great players on this football team to see what we can accomplish together.""
"Harbaugh, 63, spent the past 18 seasons as coach of the Baltimore Ravens, going 180-113 and winning a Super Bowl before he was fired last week after they missed the playoffs. The Giants have gone just 7-27 over the past two seasons and could benefit from a proven, winning coach. Harbaugh succeeds Brian Daboll, who was fired in November. Mike Kafka served as interim coach for the Giants' final seven games."

The Giants conducted in-person and virtual interviews with multiple candidates and prioritized bringing Harbaugh in for an early, in-person interview.
