I just want this process to end and jump to the press conference already
He’s the guy.
Give him what he wants. Money, contract length, roster construction control.
He’s earned it all with his reputation.
Give him the keys and let him cook.

“Met with… Chris Mara on Sunday, per Ian O’Conner”
It’s been well documented that Harbaugh hasn’t shared the 3 or 4 teams he’s planning to interview with.
It’s been equally well documented, there’s mutual interest between Harbaugh and the Giants.
Wake me up when it’s “John Mara and John Harbaugh… finalizing contract, per Adam Schefter”
I’m assuming Chris leaked this himself since the tweet explicitly calls him an “executive”.
No Joe? Not looking good for Joe. He already floated he will take a lower position. Then meeting the next head coach without the GM who has been in constant contact with him. I think Joe is gone.
They’ll find a way to fuck this up
If Harbaugh was given all he wanted on paper, any reason he would still turn it down?
Chris Mara? I see the Giants are sending in the big guns and are going all out… /s
Giants executive Chris Mara lol. I think he started in the mail room?
