Jan 30 Giants head coach John Harbaugh's search for an offensive coordinator continues following the decision by Todd Monken, Harbaugh's offensive coordinator in Baltimore, to take the Browns head coaching job instead of joining Harbaugh in New York. According to Peter Schrager of ESPN, the Giants are looking to meet with former Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.

Jan 29 The New York Giants will likely make some significant moves this offseason as new head coach John Harbaugh begins to make his influence felt on the roster. And there are some players on the roster that New York undoubtedly wants to keep. One of those players could be wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, who is set to be a free agent after catching 92 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns in 2025.

Former Giants
Eli Manning not voted into Pro Football Hall of Fame for second straight year. The argument in favor of Manning, the younger brother of Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, is that he ranks 11th all-time in passing yards and passing touchdowns. And his two Super Bowls were against the New England Patriots, taking down Belichick and Tom Brady to spoil their perfect 2007 season and the 2011 campaign.

Jan 28 Giants fans are curious to see who head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen will re-sign in free agency. Veteran right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor stabilized the offensive line, Wan'Dale Robinson broke through in his age-24 season, and Cor'Dale Flott was the best cornerback on the team. But there is one unrestricted free agent who actually posted a higher grade than all of them, per Pro Football Focus. Center Austin Schlottmann led the group with a 70.8 overall grade.

Former Giants
Brian Daboll - Tennessee Titans sign former NY Giants coach Brian Daboll as new offensive coordinator. Following several disappointing seasons, the Titans are looking for continuity and structure for quarterback Cam Ward, who will be on a rookie contract for the next few years.

Jan 27 The New York Giants are entering a new defensive era with Dennard Wilson as their defensive coordinator. Wilson, who has a proven track record of developing elite secondaries in the NFL, brings a philosophy built on calculated pressure, disguised coverages, and safety-backed zones. His approach is designed to correct the Giants' defensive inconsistencies over the past seasons and turn their back seven into a disruptive, playmaking unit.

Former Giants
Mike Kafka - The Detroit Lions are adding another experienced coach to their offensive staff. It's unclear what role Kafka will have this fall as the Lions are still sorting out their coaching staff.

Ben McAdoo - McAdoo's career since being fired mid-season in 2017 has been something of a rollercoaster. He's come a long way since he ruined Eli's 210 consecutive starts streak. McAdoo is heading to the Super Bowl as a member of the New England Patriots.

Jan 26 The New York Giants are hiring Dennard Wilson as their defensive coordinator, sources told ESPN on Sunday. They are also expected to hire former Baltimore Ravens special teams coordinator Chris Horton for the same role on coach John Harbaugh's staff, a source confirmed. Wilson and Horton are the first coordinators hired by Harbaugh, who took the job last week after 18 seasons in Baltimore.

Jan 25 Rex Ryan could be returning to New York, as Giants' defensive coordinator. When John Harbaugh became head coach of the Ravens, he inherited defensive coordinator Rex Ryan. Eighteen years later, Harbaugh could be bringing Ryan in. After one year with Harbaugh, Ryan became the head coach of the Jets, where he worked from 2009 through 2014. He then coached the Bills in 2015 and 2016. He has spent the last 10 years at ESPN.

Jan 24 John Harbaugh began the process of letting go of any coaches he doesn't intend to carry with him on his first staff in New York. The only remaining position coach on the defensive side of the ball is Charlie Bullen, who served as outside linebackers coach before being named interim defensive coordinator for the team's final five games of the season.

Jan 23 John Harbaugh makes first bold move with Giants by hiring ex-college head coach. The Giants are still expected to bring over several ex-Harbaugh assistants from Baltimore, including Todd Monken as OC, but we don't know much else. However, we finally have some answers, as it was revealed that longtime college coach Dave Clawson could be joining the revamped coaching staff.

Long-time head athletic trainer Ronnie Barnes, a Giants staple for over four decades, will transition from day-to-day operations to an oversight role within the department. A new head athletic trainer is expected to be hired, almost certainly with ties to John Harbaugh's former Baltimore Ravens staff.

Jan 22 Chris Mara played a critical role in the NY Giants' hiring of John Harbaugh. Harbaugh was the coach his brother wanted, and Chris Mara helped make that wish come true. John Mara, as we all know, is battling cancer. It was Chris Mara who took the lead, along with Schoen, in pursuing Harbaugh. It was Chris, with help from Tom Coughlin, who drove to Harbaugh's home outside of Baltimore to meet with him to ensure he understood the depth of the team's interest.

Jan 21 The Giants officially introduced new head coach John Harbaugh on Tuesday. Harbaugh, who agreed to a five-year contract on Saturday to become the 22nd head coach in the storied franchise's history, took to the podium at the team's facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Harbaugh said the process of putting together his coaching staff will begin Wednesday with opening interviews. He said he plans on speaking to some coaches currently on the Giants and Ravens staffs, and will also cast a wide net across the league. .

Jan 20 Even in a division as difficult as the NFC East, John Harbaugh isn't shy of confidence. With a solid offensive line, strong defense, and good weapons for Jaxson Dart, this team can surprise people. Coaching was the only thing holding this team back, and that doesn't seem like it'll be an issue anymore.

Jan 19 The Giants, as part of their all-out blitz to land John Harbaugh, had several former men with ties to the franchise reach out to extol the virtues of the organization. Another thing that stood out to Harbaugh was the players, some of whom he met during his visit to the Giants. "I'm just fired up to coach these guys and get to work. It's a great group, and I'm looking forward to building this team up."
Part of that building will come thanks to the Giants agreeing to let Harbaugh drive the bus in building out the football operations, similar to what he had in Baltimore, even if some of those ways went against how the Giants have operated for years.

Jan 18 John Harbaugh will report directly to ownership, according to multiple reports. "Today is an exciting day. What a privilege it is to join the Maras and Tisch's and the whole organization. I am so fired up about the players on this team. Looking forward to the great things we can accomplish together!"

Jan 17 Power struggle preventing Giants from hiring John Harbaugh. There is no reason for Harbaugh to accept this job without decision-making power in personnel. Several sources told the Daily News during the Giants' courtship that they expected Harbaugh to either want Schoen gone or to reduce his power in the Giants' new structure.

Jan 16 Hiring head coach John Harbaugh is a big win for the Giants. Harbaugh had a series of interviews lined up. After speaking with Giants ownership in New Jersey on Wednesday, he was expected to meet with the Titans and Falcons to interview for their open head coaching positions over the course of the week. He never got there. Giants ownership clearly ratcheted up the team's offer to a level Harbaugh could not and would not deny.

John Harbaugh accepts Giants' offer to become new coach. The Giants' deal for John Harbaugh is expected to be for 5 years, with a total value that nears $100M. The two sides were still hammering out financial figures Wednesday night. Though that ostensibly leaves wiggle room for an agreement to fall through, a reported a deal was expected to be reached. If one is established, the Giants would become the first of nine NFL teams this offseason to fill a head-coaching vacancy.

Jan 15 The New York Giants took the first shot, and their best shot, at landing John Harbaugh. Now they'll have to wait to find out if it was enough. They met with the coveted former Baltimore Ravens coach at their facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Wednesday for his first in-person interview. There was even some hope in the Giants organization that they'd be able to close the deal before Harbaugh visited with anybody else. However, the 62-year-old left without a deal on Wednesday evening.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti made a choice last week he likely once believed he might never need to consider when he fired longtime coach John Harbaugh. Bisciotti remains convicted in his decision -- one he'd contemplated for weeks -- but does have one regret: If he were to do it again, he wouldn't have informed Harbaugh over the phone.

Jan 14 The surprising game when the Giants' 2025 season unraveled. After a disappointing 0-3 start to the 2025 season, the New York Giants had a major decision to make: Stay the course with their veteran quarterback, Russell Wilson, who had not played well outside of their Week 2 overtime loss to Dallas, or make a change at quarterback to rookie Jaxson Dart, one that would inject excitement into the fanbase and locker room. They decided to go with Dart, and there was an immediate return on their decision to go all in with their rookie signal caller. The Giants defeated the LA Chargers in week four, 21-18.

Jan 13 Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is one of six finalists for the 2025 Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Year Award. The winner will be selected by a fan vote at nfl.com/rookies. The voting period will run through Friday, Jan. 30, and the winner will be recognized during Super Bowl LX Week. Dart is looking to become the third Giant to win it. Tight end Jeremy Shockey won the inaugural award in 2002 after being selected as the 14th overall draft pick. Sixteen years later, fans voted for running back Saquon Barkley, the second overall pick who went on to be named AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

Jan 12 The New York Giants, hot on the trail of John Harbaugh to fill their head coaching vacancy, are continuing to stockpile of lengthy list of other candidates should they need to go to Plan B. The Giants are reportedly one of three teams that have requested an interview with Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula. The others are the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans. Per NFL rules, Shula is available for virtual interviews this week after the Rams defeated the Carolina Panthers in the Wild-Card round of the NFC Playoffs. View current Giants head coaching interviews.

Jan 11 If John Harbaugh wants to take over as head coach of the New York Giants, it appears that he is facing some growing competition. The former Baltimore Ravens coach is hugely in-demand after leaving the team he led for 18 seasons this week. The Giants are among the leading contenders to appoint him but he isn't the only man under consideration for the role. Kevin Stefanski, the former Cleveland Browns head coach, is also in the running while a surprise name has also emerged in former Las Vegas Raiders head coach, Antonio Pierce.

Jan 10 Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart set social media buzzing with speculation about the team's next head coach after fans attempted to lip-read the rookie on the Ole Miss sideline during Thursday night's Fiesta Bowl. Although his comments were inaudible, social media users attempted to read Dart's lips, prompting speculation that he said "Harbaugh or Stefanski," a reference to former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and former Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski.
