US President Donald Trump has urged New York Giants and former Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh to take the Giants' head coaching job "without question." In a social media post on Saturday, Trump called Harbaugh a "total winner" and advised him to seize the opportunity without hesitation. Trump's statement comes after the Ravens surprisingly fired Harbaugh Tuesday, ending his successful 18-year tenure with the team.
Harbaugh's immediate availability has drawn interest from several NFL teams, including the Giants. New York has the second-worst record in the league over the last decade, losing 55 of their last 109 games. The team recently parted ways with head coach Brian Daboll midseason after blowing a 10-point lead to the Chicago Bears.
Harbaugh is currently watching film of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward as he weighs his options. He is set to formally interview with teams next week, according to multiple reports.
The Giants' search for a new head coach has been ongoing since Daboll's departure, with the team considering several candidates. While offensive coordinator Mike Kafka received an interview for the full-time position, it is unlikely that he will land the job.
With his reputation as a successful coach and his track record of leading teams to championships, Harbaugh is an attractive candidate for the Giants' vacant head coaching position. Trump's endorsement has added to Harbaugh's appeal, suggesting that the former Ravens coach could be a strong contender for the job.

. I mean, what does he know about football, right? He's basically inserting himself into someone else's business and telling them to take a job without even knowing the guy 
. And what's with all these NFL teams being drawn to Harbaugh like bees to honey? It's not like Trump has any actual experience or connections in the sports world...I guess his "total winner" label is just a nice way of saying he's a good loser 
I'm so hyped about this!! John Harbaugh would be AMAZING as the Giants' new coach!!! He's like, a total winner with all those championships and 18 years of experience 
I don't know what it is about him that makes teams want to stick around forever 
And with Trump's seal of approval 
he's basically the best candidate for the job 
Can you even imagine Harbaugh leading the Giants back to glory? 
The guy's got game 
and I'm 100% sure he'll make an awesome coach 
TRUMP THINKS HE'S GOT THE MAGIC TOUCH WITH COACHES WHY NOT GIVE HARBAUGH A SHOT? 
. harbaugh is a total winner, that's true, but can he win with the team they got right now? it seems like they have some decent young players, but they lack depth and experience... i dont think harbaugh would be able to fix everything overnight 
. I mean, the guy just got fired by the Ravens and now Trump is breathing down his neck about taking the gig without question? Give me a break! The Giants have been losing like crazy for years and they think Harbaugh can magically turn that around? It's not gonna happen 
.
he's always trying to make himself famous again, right? anyway, john harbaugh would be an awesome choice for the giants - hes got a proven track record and all that. but have you seen the way they've been losing games lately? 55 losses in 109 games is crazy 
anyway, harbaugh seems like a solid choice for the giants...or whoever gets in before he does. gotta feel bad for those ravens fans who just got benched midlife 
i mean, 18 years with the ravens is no joke, but 8 years as a head coach without an ring might be a red flag? and what's up with the giants' record tho? losing 55 of their last 109 games is wild 
like, how do you even recover from that?
but either way, i'm just gonna sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride
