John Harbaugh expected to emerge as favorite for New York Giants job

In a rapid turn of events, veteran coach John Harbaugh has emerged as a prime target for the New York Giants' head coaching vacancy less than one day after his dismissal from the Baltimore Ravens.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday that Harbaugh is expected to become a leading candidate in East Rutherford, with interest already pouring in from seven NFL teams.

The 63-year-old, fresh off an 18-year tenure in Baltimore that included a Super Bowl XLVII title and 180 regular-season wins, was fired following the Ravens' 8-9 season and playoff miss.

The Giants, who retained general manager Joe Schoen to oversee the search, had held internal discussions about pursuing Harbaugh even before his availability became known, per earlier reports. His proven track record of developing quarterbacks like Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson, while building perennial contenders, makes him an attractive option to revitalize a franchise seeking stability.

While competition is fierce, Harbaugh's experience and championship pedigree position him as a potential game-changer for Big Blue.
