It was reported last night that John Harbaugh is expected to interview with the New York Giants, Atlanta Falcons, and Tennessee Titans this week. This morning, Ian Rapoport is reporting that he will interview first with the Giants today. Rapoport says that is a good sign for the Giants.
To me, the Giants have always been the favorite to land Harbaugh. They have a much better overall roster. The thing that could swing in favor of the Titans is if Harbaugh likes Cam Ward a lot more than he likes Jaxson Dart. Now, be careful how you read that. Harbaugh ending up in New York doesn’t necessarily mean he likes Dart more than Ward. The Giants have substantially more talent all over the field than the Titans do.
Now, we just have to hope that Harbuagh leaves New York today without taking the job. Rapoport says the Giants are the only team that can currently hire a coach, so that means they have already satisfied the Rooney Rule.
The Titans are scheduled to interview Mike McDaniel today. That will be their second in-person interview with a minority candidate (McDaniel is biracial), so they will have met the Rooney Rule requirements after today.
