John Harbaugh, the NFL's winningest coach of all time, is returning to the NFC East with a gig as the head coach of the Giants. This move could be problematic for the Eagles, who gave him his first NFL coaching job under then-head coach Andy Reid.
Harbaugh was recently fired by the Ravens after 18 years in Baltimore, where he won a Super Bowl, made the postseason 12 times, and finished with a winning record 13 times. He is one of the highest-paid coaches in the league, with a reported $5-year deal worth over $30 million.
The Giants are inheriting a team that has struggled to find success in recent years, missing the playoffs 12 times since 2012. However, they do have talent on the roster, including quarterback Jaxson Dart, wide receiver Malik Nabers, left tackle Andrew Thomas, and pass rushers Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns.
Harbaugh's hiring could be a double whammy for the Eagles, who are currently searching for a new offensive coordinator after relieving Kevin Patullo of his post. Todd Monken, Harbaugh's former offensive coordinator with the Ravens, is expected to join him in New York, which has been reported as part of the plan all along.
Harbaugh's coaching staff includes some of the NFL and college football's brightest minds, including Mike McDonald, Greg Roman, Dean Pees, Wink Martindale, Gary Kubiak, Jim Caldwell, and Monken. He also coached alongside several future head coaches and coordinators in Philly under Reid, including Sean Payton, Steve Spagnuolo, Sean McDermott, Ron Rivera, Brad Childress, Pat Shurmur, David Culley, and Leslie Frazier.
The Eagles had mixed results against Harbaugh during his time as Ravens coach, going 2-3 in their five matchups. However, they did manage to snap a two-game losing streak when they beat Baltimore in Week 13 of the 2024 season.
With Harbaugh leading the Giants, the NFC East is about to get a serious shake-up. The Eagles' chances of repeating as division champions will be put to the test, and it's unclear how well they'll fare against their new rival.

. I mean, Harbaugh's coming in with all that firepower from Baltimore and a reported $30 million paycheck, which is like buying a new squad of players every year 
. The Eagles might be in trouble now - on the bright side, they can say they've had some tough matchups against Harbaugh...who knows if they'll ever live down those losses 
. This NFC East shake-up could get real interesting, and I'm hyped to see how it all plays out! 
... harbaugh's move to the giants is gonna make life tough for the eagles especially with todd monken joining him which feels like a major blow 
... i mean harbaugh's got a ton of talent on his roster and he's one of the highest-paid coaches in the league so it's hard to see them not being competitive this year 
But the Eagles definitely need to step up their game if they wanna stay on top. Can't wait to see how it all plays out! 
. What did the Giants see that others didn't? And with him coming in, it's gonna be tough for the Eagles to compete against their new rival 
.
. the Eagles are gonna have to step up their game if they wanna keep their title shot 
but on the other hand, it's not like they're starting from scratch – they've got talent on the roster and a bunch of coaches with experience 
also gotta say, this could be a big boost for harbaugh's rep and payday 
. Monken's comin' back to Philly, that's a big blow for the Eagles' offense. And with Harbaugh leadin' the Giants, they're gonna try to exploit the Eagles' weaknesses on D 
. We'll see how this all plays out, but one thing's for sure: the NFC East is gonna be a wild ride 
.
john harbaugh just became the head coach of the giants i think this could be bad news for the eagles who gave him his first nfl coaching gig back in the day what's up with the giants having such a low winning record lately but they got some talent on their roster maybe harbaugh can turn things around 
. But what's up with Todd Monken joining him? That's like throwing oil on a fire 
. And let's be real, the Giants have some talent 
, but can they put it all together under Harbaugh's leadership? I'm not sure 
!
this news gotta be tough for the eagles fans 
still gotta give credit to the ravens for letting him go after all those years 
.
. How will that affect how they play against the Eagles? Only time will tell 
.
especially with todd monken joining him as offensive coordinator 
now lets see how the eagles hold up against them 
. but you gotta give him credit, he's got one of the highest-paid coaching jobs in the league and he's not afraid to take on a new challenge.
. they're gonna be hard to beat, especially with todd monken joining him in new york. the eagles gotta step up their game if they wanna keep repeating as division champs
