Giants hire John Harbaugh as head coach after tumultuous coaching history
Summary

The New York Giants appointed John Harbaugh as their new head coach following a series of unsuccessful coaching hires since Tom Coughlin's departure. The franchise aims to turn around its fortunes after recording only two winning seasons since 2012. Harbaugh, who spent 18 years with the Baltimore Ravens, brings significant experience and success, including a Super Bowl championship. Despite a poor record last season, the Giants have a promising roster, with young talents like rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and standout receiver Malik Nabers. Harbaugh's hiring comes amid an active offseason for the Giants, including trading Dexter Lawrence II and acquiring top draft picks.
