John Harbaugh’s fingerprints are already all over the Giants
John Harbaugh has already started putting his fingerprints on the Giants organization. First, relieving Kevin Abrams who has been with Big Blue for 25+ years and shifting legendary Head Athletic Trainer, Ronnie Barnes, into a new role. More recently he has started shaping the coaching staff, only retaining two.
NY Post’s Paul Schwartz breaks down the moves and just how much of an impact they will make. Plus, he gets into candidates for the open offensive and coordinator jobs.

Change hurts, but if it is between nostalgia or winning, I'll take winning.
Total respect to Barnes, but the NFL is constantly evolving. Can you tell me that Barnes is on the cutting edge of athletic training after 50 years?
The Giants need to get "Modern". And QUICK.
When you hire someone like John Harbaugh, you also have to let him shop for some of the groceries…

Great job Mr.S you always do your homework, good information you pass on to the fans.
The NYG have sucked really bad for the better part of 12 years. Harbaugh should purge everyone.
Losing Abrams and Barnes made sense. Letting Bricillo go was a big mistake.
Clean. House.
Warhop is no Briscillo.
So Kevin Is The Contract & Cap Guy ? & We’ve Been In Salary Cap Hell For At Least The Past 7-8yrs .. Joe Scheone Got Hired To Negative 40mil In Cap .. Yeahhh Kevin Can Go .. John Prolly Asked Who’s Been In Charge Of The Contracts & Cap ? They Prolly Said Joe But Also Kevin Abram’s Been Handling That For The Past 20yrs .. Instantly If I Was John I Would’ve Thought Well Y’all’s Cap Space Been Bad For The Past 10 Hes Gone I’m Bringing In My Guy
ok so if he is in search of a new OC what happens to Kafka ??? hopeflly he gets canned too i was never a big fan of him
PFF… Really ⁉️
Si esa es la métrica, ustedes en reportar son unos Cllaajjeee de MAMAOUUU 🤣

When is he firing Tim McDonnell getting rid of nepotism, the guy sucks at his job.
About time they changed the trainer honestly. He’s a great guy and did a lot for us ,and I’m glad he’s still on board, but injuries have been an issue.
Bricillo should have stayed.
Jim Schwartz for DC! Tons of experience and success! Has a ring as DC with the Eagles when they won their first Super Bowl
Changes have to be made. The last 10 years say so.
What? Ronnie Barnes at 73 still have a job? A senior one also. What a joke. And for him to stay bcos he's a minority is also an insult. No wonder this team sucks. A lot of underperform staffs. Mara shud just run a charity not a football team
While I'm surprised and a little disappointed Carnen Bracillo will not be kept as the OL coach that staff needed to go because they were awful and the poster child was Shane Bowen. Bullen was a better DC than Bowen but I'm glad Harbaugh is going to pick someone to be the DC. If Monken is going to be the OC as everyone seems to think then that's a big boost for Jaxson and the offense.
Reminder… they won 4 games last year….and the last two came at the last two games of year….against teams who weren't trying to win…so yeah tear it down…
Subscribed like the vibe and energy……Go TEXANS…
Let john cook. I like we kept bullen and kelly ,brucillo did a good job .but we have to embrace change. We have young talented players. This is the way
If Giants fans wanted the OL coach to keep his job they should not have given him such high praise. Someone like Harbaugh doesn't want any competition for popularity. I was saying this would happen since I saw his response to Tiki and the boys praise of him. Guys with egos like Harbaugh don't take any chances with these things.
Time to clear out the dead wood.
This isn't any different than any organization making changes. It's way overdue and it doesn't make any difference whether a fan likes the changes or not. I've been a giants fan for over 60 years. These last two head coaches were pathetic. I thought Dabol was the answer after his first season. He should have been fired last season. This year I watched games until I couldn't stand it anymore. It seemed like each week they found a new way to lose. Dabol didn't seem to understand it's all about winning.
Can't wait for Harbaugh bans Eli Manning as a favor to Tom Brady…
Great, go John.
It’s so fascinating to me as a Ravens fan (since before Harbs) seeing all the new Giants content about him. I wish him the best but more than anything I’m curious to see how this plays out
Overwhelming support for John when he became head coach for the new york football giants!that being said.step back let him do his thing you didn't think he would keep everyone from a completely failed tea!get a grip!go coach Harbaugh…
Wilson and Weaver were on john / Mike McDonald's #1 defense in 23
Would be funny if he fired Sr VP of player personnel, Chris Mara. Even though family ties are common there is too much nepotism in the New York football Giants because the front office trio takes themselves too seriously.
Giants also led the league in injuries all the time. Just because the carpet has been around since the house was built doesn't mean it never gets replaced. 73 is a good run. Ronnie should retire
Let him build it the absolute way he wants!
Imagine crying for the Giants to clean house then crying again when the changes happen. 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾#GoGiants 🔥🔥
Harbaugh best years might be behind him. He's a quality dude and coach for sure but I'm not convinced until I see the W's pile up.

Ronnie Barnes is loved by thousand’s .
Th Jets are hiring!
Who cares that Abrams has two superbowl rings??? Paul covering for giants staff as best he can. Always!
Can we stop with all the hand-wringing over Ronnie Barnes? 50 GD years in the organization and Head of Medical Services? Untouchable? He has a say in the Orthopedic, the Team Doctor, the shoes, the turf, the rehab, the strength and conditioning, etc! One-eyed Cedrick Jones, Stenosis David Wilson, Next Turf, Trays, Daniel Jones, a strained ACL to a blown ACL in one game, all on his watch! Those are the ones top of mind; there are more! Giants have been leading the league in IR players per year for years. Enough of this, take the retirement package and live a good life. Cheeses!
Nobody’s job is safe nor should it be. They are the worst in every department
Dragging the Giants organisation into the 21st century..thank goodness….
Good! It’s about time! Enough was enough! As a die hard Giants fan, the BS festered long enough! Thank God John Harbaugh has been hired and is cleaning house! 🏠 Let’s Go Giants! Change has finally happened! 🙏🏻👍🏻👏🏻💙 Let’s Go Giants! Winning culture is hopefully back. 🏆🏈 Welcome to New York Coach Harbaugh. Thank You Giants for making this happen! Happy for the fans and the entire organization! 🙏🏻❤️🤍💙
Hiring staff is uber important. The Giants have seemed to have a meh coaching staff. Same with the Jets.
