Harbaugh called “a proven winner” who can set “a standard of accountability”.
It took more than two days after John Harbaugh had reportedly accepted the job as head coach of the New York Giants to finalize the deal. Harbaugh has now signed on the dotted line. Here is what the Giants were saying in their official announcement of the hiring.
Co-owner and team president John Mara:
“We are proud to name John Harbaugh as the next head coach of the New York Giants. Joe Schoen presented us an outstanding group of candidates, which allowed us to be deliberate and confident in this decision. Through numerous conversations, John consistently stood out for his conviction and vision for leading a winning organization, and we welcome him and his family to the Giants.”
Co-owner and chairman Steve Tisch:
“John is a proven winner whose teams are disciplined, resilient, and prepared. His passion for the game, his ability to connect with players, and his experience leading at the highest level made him an outstanding fit for us, and we’re excited to move forward together.”
General manager Joe Schoen:
“Throughout our conversations, John stood out for his clarity, competitiveness and approach for building a sustainable winning program. He has a strong track record of developing players, building cohesive staffs, and setting a clear standard of accountability. We are excited to work with John in moving this team in the right direction.”
Harbaugh:
“I want to thank John Mara, Steve Tisch, Chris Mara, and Joe Schoen for the opportunity to lead the New York Giants,” said Harbaugh. “To serve as this franchise’s head coach is a tremendous honor. I come from a football family, and I have deep respect for the history and tradition of this organization.
“I’m excited to begin assembling our staff and getting to work building our team. I would like to sincerely thank Steve Bisciotti and the Baltimore Ravens organization for 18 remarkable years, including the opportunity to become a head coach in the National Football League.
“My family and I are grateful for the welcome we’ve already felt, and we look forward to becoming part of the Giants family.”
The Giants will formally introduce Harbaugh as their head coach at noon on Tuesday.
