President Donald Trump offered some advice to the New York Giants and John Harbaugh on Saturday.
Trump took to social media to encourage the Giants to hire John Harbaugh “without a doubt” as their next head coach.
“The New York Football Giants should absolutely hire John Harbaugh. And John, a great guy, should TAKE THE JOB!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday.

It’s the second time in recent days that Trump has posted a comment about Harbaugh on social media, having called the former Baltimore Ravens coach a total winner on Wednesday.
“HIR JOHN HARBAUGH, FAST,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post Wednesday morning. “HE AND HIS BROTHER ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!”
The Ravens surprisingly fired Harbaugh on Tuesday, ending a successful 18-season streak. The team won six AFC North titles, appeared in four AFC Championship Games and won a Super Bowl under the 63-year-old.
The Ravens finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion when kicker Tyler Loop’s winning field goal attempt went wide right. After a disappointing season, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti fired Harbaugh.

Harbaugh immediately became the top head coaching candidate on the market and has drawn interest from every team with an opening, according to multiple reports.
The Giants have the second-worst record in the NFL over the past 10 seasons, ahead of only the New York Jets, with a record of 55-109-1.
The Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll midseason after blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead against the Chicago Bears, a game in which rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion, leaving them 2-8. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was named interim coach and went 2-5 in his seven games.
Daboll was in his fourth season and compiled a record of 20-40-1. He was named NFL Coach of the Year in his first season after leading the Giants to a 9-7-1 record and a playoff berth, but the team’s record worsened with each season.

While Kafka has won his last two games and interviewed for the full-time position, it is unlikely that he will receive the Giants’ head coaching job.
Harbaugh will spend the next few days watching film of Dart and Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward as he weighs his options, according to The Athletic. The veteran coach will begin formally interviewing with teams next week, according to multiple reports.
