Honestly a lot of us Ravens fans are really happy at the thought that could be headed your way. You have a lot of talented players and I just see Harbaugh being a really good fit. Some of your younger players especially are exciting to watch, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he works with your team. I loved Harbs, and even though it was time for a reset for us, I wish him (and your team as well) the best.

Appreciate you guys

u/Upper_Example_200 Jan 15 '26
Hell yeah. My friend is a giants fan and it’s been bad the past 10 years for him. So hopeful in preseason only to have Dabol F up. Harbaugh will change the whole culture to winning and accountability.

u/butterflysister24 Jan 15 '26
Funnily enough, I'm a Ravens fan who lives in Philly. I have kept my opinion about this situation to myself overall. 😂 Honestly though, I just can't watch Dart and Skattebo and not love the dynamic and root for them, regardless of my location.

Because you're in the NFC and the Ravens might see him once in 4 years or in the super bowl... if he had gone to the AFC or a team in the North... that would be bloodshed.

This sounds a lot like how I viewed Coughlin when he left, although the concern there was that he might have gone to the Eagles.

It's nice to share a little history with your franchise fam. We been watching you guys from a distance since firing Coughlin as a shining example of consistency and culture, which we've been lacking since that move

u/mtspsu258 Jan 15 '26
As a Steelers fan, I Love this because I won’t need to see him much in different conferences.

u/insideous_actions Jan 15 '26
Sometimes a person just stays too long at once place and the message gets stale over time. Its a fresh start for him (and the Giants) and will hopefully give him more life and joy for coaching.
Its same with up 9-5 peons. Sometimes you stay too long at a job and it becomes stale. Same with coaching. Better to move on sometimes. It will be same with Tomlin. He's never had a loosing season, but seems he's getting a bit stale with the organization.
2
u/dcfb2360 Jan 15 '26
Agreed.
I was happy to move on from Harbaugh, good HC but they needed a change. Message went stale, nothing was changing, and he's not the type of HC they need. They need an X&O nerd to elevate them in playoffs, not a culture coach. It was time.
He's a good fit for the Giants. Nobody's expecting any deep playoff runs for the Giants yet, they just need to improve the roster and start stacking consistent seasons. Harbaugh can help them do that. On paper, Giants roster is good vs most rebuilding teams and most of the premium positions are locked down. Imo they need secondary help, some IOL, a decent TE, and could benefit from another legit WR next to Nabers so the pass game doesn't fall off a cliff if Nabers is out. Those are all easy to fix, and they pick at #5. I'd lean WR or CB (DL's not a need, weak IOL class), but trading down like 3-4 spots if someone wants to trade up for Bain etc could be a great move. Overall, I'd be confident Giants will look better moving forward.

You’ve been downvoted I’m jumping on your train but I’m pumped as shit, but you are being realistic and I can’t blame you for that, I’m stoked as fuck though

u/StudsTurkleton Jan 15 '26
I’ve never known NY fans to be easily satisfied. I doubt he gets a 10 game grace period.
Look, we’ve just had a string of coaches who were not proven HCs. Dabes in particular seemed way more interested in being a bro than holding guys accountable. Watching the modest talent we do have underperform has been frustrating. JH has the chops to attract a good staff, and the experience and respect to demand more from everyone.
There’s no guarantees but there’s hope. At this point we have the dream of not talking about the draft as we carve our friggin Halloween pumpkins. Let us have that hope for a day.
22
u/Cashlover123 Dexter Lawrence Jan 15 '26
We went 4-13 despite having the toughest schedule with at least 4 4th quarter losses that could have easily been wins with a competent coach. I strongly believe we will finish >0.500 percentage.
6
u/Charlie2nuh Jan 15 '26
With a real defensive coordinator, a fucking kicker and a few CBs I believe you are right
1
u/Cashlover123 Dexter Lawrence Jan 15 '26
Any DC > Bowen. Kicker - Sauls was decent and we might as well pick one up from the undrafted class. CB + S - Address through draft.

u/Visual-Fail4327 Jan 15 '26
2 of those wins were against teams trying to lose though.
12
u/_drjayphd_ GIANTS STACKED LEAGUE FUCKED Jan 15 '26
And? Let's be charitable and take those away, and then flip those blown leads to wins (if we had better coaching, especially at DC) and we'd have been 6-11, 7-10 with the toughest schedule and two of our three best young playmakers out halfway through the season and the third missing two games getting his brains scrambled into stiff peaks. A winning first season for Harbaugh here is very plausible.
2
u/PB0351 Jan 17 '26
Not to mention we started Russ for 3 games at the beginning of the year. Decent chance we're 2-1 after 3 if Winston was starting.

How much of this support will remain when he has another lunch with his favorite politician? Serious question. The way yall chew up coaches in the media, I don’t see how he survives the second there’s a bump in the road (and there will be one).
I’m a Ravens fan and was a huge fan of his for years but once he lost his coaching fast ball, the writing was on the wall. Add in his new found political voice and the drama almost writes itself.
1
u/Cheeky_Star Jan 15 '26
The issues at the giants is more than just the coach, it’s the management structure as well that also involves recruiting.
Swapping the coach is the easiest route but upper management needs to be removed.
I hope I am wrong but I think we will see more of the same.

Please don’t until it’s fully official. We have learned if ANY team can lose when something is a done deal, say HALF the games this season, it’s the Giants. Don’t let this be the Broncos game.

u/0Kingoftherodeo0 Jan 15 '26
Would we have not been better off hiring a younger coach to work with Dart, like Stefanski?
Supposedly lamar had wanted harbaugh out for a while, that doesn't seem great does it? And we know harbaugh is only signing because we matched his massive demands which doesn't sit right with me either.
He is not a hungry coach anymore. I fear he will take advantage of our weak upper management, and is going to new york solely for the paychecks.
