It was a long and sometimes dreadful race, but the New York Giants finally did the unthinkable by making John Harbaugh their next head coach late last night. The excitement has struck the fanbase like wildfire, and it feels like the Giants have hope for the first team since Brian Daboll was hired.
The Giants pulled out all the stops to land Harbaugh and made their pursuit impossible to ignore. In the end, they won out. They originally cast a wide net, but ESPN's Jordan Ranaan revealed on the Giants Nation podcast with Bobby Skinner that, once the Super Bowl-winning coach was fired, he shot to the top of New York's coaching wishlist.
