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.
