The 63-year-old coach also brings stability. Just two quarterbacks have been featured along Harbaugh’s nearly two-decade watch in Baltimore: Joe Flacco, who won Super Bowl XLVII MVP, and Lamar Jackson, a two-time regular-season MVP.

Giants QB Jaxson Dart showed great promise along his rookie campaign, scoring 24 touchdowns (15 passing, nine rushing) while generating a 91.7 passer rating. Dart’s intro was the silver lining along a dark season that saw Brian Daboll’s mid-season dismissal following a 2-8 start, and the first-round pick made the Giants job one of the more appealing HC positions in the NFL.

Harbaugh said he’s “excited” to begin working with the 22-year-old QB.

“It starts with the quarterback for sure,” he said. “You build your team around your quarterback. You build your team around your players and what they do well. I like the way he plays. I like his talent, skill set, all the things he’s accomplished. But more than that I like who he is and what he’s about. To me, he’s about football. This young guy loves football. He wants to talk football all the time. That’s what I liked doing, too. So we’re going to have a lot of great conversations. I can’t wait to get started with him.”

The Giants also have a wealth of talent around Dart, including wide receiver Malik Nabers and a stalwart left tackle in Andrew Thomas. New York’s defense is also well-equipped with Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux on the front line and a talented secondary on the back end.

Harbaugh recognized what type of expectations he will be facing and is expecting a quick turn around.

“We have an opportunity to go win, you know, and I like these players, man,” Harbaugh said. “I had a chance to watch tape. I like the way they play. I liked their style. I like how physical and how tough they are, and I know they want to be successful, and they want to go to work, so absolutely, we can do that, and that’s our plan to do that. The plan is to win every game. I mean, one game at a time. You go into every game, playing to win that game. That’s our expectation. We will be expecting to do that. But we’ve got to earn the right to expect that. By how we go to work and prepare, and what kind of a team that we make ourselves into.”

There’s still work to do to complete Harbaugh’s undertaking in terms of completing his coaching staff. It’s a process Harbaugh said will begin on Wednesday, indicating he could be bringing along some of his coaches from Baltimore.

Harbaugh said that while he “learned a lot” following his run with the Ravens, his vision and principles for a football team are “written in stone.” His leadership in Baltimore brought a consistent level of success, and it’s why New York decided to hire Harbaugh on a deal that’s expected to make him one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL.

“It’s a bunch of guys that see the game the same way,” he said of what he envisions his Giants being. “It’s a bunch of guys that want to play the game together the same way. It’s a relentless brotherhood, having each other’s back, being unwilling to give up because that guy next year is unwilling to give up. You know, all these things that these guys believe in will decide what the culture looks like together every single day by what we do together. All right? And that’s how you build it together.”
