John Harbaugh Had The Giants Rework Their Org Chart For Him
Defector • • sports
Key Points:
- John Harbaugh has been officially hired as the New York Giants' head coach on a five-year contract, with a significant restructuring of the team's leadership hierarchy.
- Unlike the typical NFL structure where the head coach reports to the general manager, Harbaugh will report directly to the Giants' owners, John Mara and Steve Tisch, reducing GM Joe Schoen's influence.
- Harbaugh emphasized a collaborative approach with Schoen, stating they will work to reach consensus on decisions like the NFL Draft, but he retains considerable authority.
- The Giants retained Joe Schoen as GM despite a disappointing 4-13 season and controversial decisions, including letting star running back Saquon Barkley leave for the Eagles and signing quarterback Daniel Jones
