Overview
- John Harbaugh said he spoke "at length" with Rex Ryan about the Giants' defensive coordinator vacancy during his staff search.
- Harbaugh selected Dennard Wilson for defensive coordinator, a choice bolstered by a strong recommendation from Ravens coach Jesse Minter and Wilson’s recent Titans and Ravens work.
- The coaching staff is largely set with Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator and play-caller and Brian Callahan overseeing quarterbacks and the passing game for second-year QB Jaxson Dart.
- Harbaugh retained and elevated Charlie Bullen on defense, maintaining continuity after Bullen served as interim coordinator in 2025, with reports of outside interest in him.
- Harbaugh publicly set an ambitious standard, citing Tom Coughlin’s description of a New York title parade and declaring he is "consumed" with building a team that earns it, while saying he expects Nagy to be "the best ever."
