John Harbaugh started his next chapter as head coach of the New York Giants with the same message he had 18 years ago when he began in Baltimore.<\/p>\n
It’s going to be about the team, the team, the team, he said.<\/p>\n
Harbaugh’s introductory press conference Tuesday afternoon in front of a huge New York media contingent had many familiar messages.<\/p>\n
But before Harbaugh’s first day on the new job, he also took time to thank those in Baltimore who helped him build a resume that made him the hottest coach on the market this offseason.<\/p>\n
“I’d like to extend a profound thank you to [Owner] Steve [Bisciotti] and [Executive Vice President] Ozzie [Newsome] for the opportunity, for the guidance that they provided every single day,” Harbaugh said.<\/p>\n
“To all the players and coaches who have been unrelenting brothers all along the way through the years. We did great things. Thanks, guys.”<\/p>\n
Harbaugh said the Giants’ job was the one he wanted from the start after he and the Ravens parted ways two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
“It’s a profound honor to be entrusted with the responsibility of coaching the New York Football Giants,” Harbaugh said.<\/p>\n
“One of the most iconic franchises in all of sports. I wanted this job. To be on the biggest stage in the biggest sport. I know the challenges. I understand the expectations. I know the fans are hungry for a winner. We’re here with one mission: to become, to earn the right, to be called the World Champions in New York. And that’s what we plan to do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Harbaugh started his next chapter as head coach of the New York Giants with the same message…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691846,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,781,519,786,20472,1917,56,2321,2469,6,1049],"class_list":{"0":"post-691845","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-general","10":"tag-giants","11":"tag-homepage-centerpiece","12":"tag-inline-news","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-giants","15":"tag-newyork","16":"tag-newyorkgiants","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-ryan-mink"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115928999278514430","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
