Trump Sends Message To NFL Team
President Donald Trump has stepped into the NFL offseason conversation, offering a clear recommendation on where veteran head coach John Harbaugh should land next.
After recently encouraging football teams to move quickly if they were interested in Harbaugh, President Trump made his preference unmistakable: the New York Giants.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the New York Giants should absolutely bring in John Harbaugh, adding that Harbaugh — whom he called a great person — ought to accept the position.
The statement immediately drew attention from sports fans and political observers alike, adding new momentum to an already busy coaching carousel.
A Respected Coach Hits the Market
Harbaugh recently parted ways with the Baltimore Ravens following a dramatic postseason loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Baltimore’s season ended in heartbreaking fashion after a missed field goal as time expired.
The loss closed the chapter on Harbaugh’s remarkable 18-year tenure with the Ravens — a run that included sustained success, playoff appearances, and a reputation for toughness and accountability.
For many fans, Harbaugh represents the type of steady leadership that struggling franchises often seek during a rebuild.
Why the Giants Make Sense
The Giants have faced years of inconsistency, coaching turnover, and unmet expectations. Supporters have increasingly called for a proven leader who can restore discipline and competitiveness to the organization.
Harbaugh’s track record — combined with his reputation for commanding locker rooms — has made him a popular name among analysts and fans looking for stability.
President Trump’s endorsement only amplified those discussions.
A Familiar Face at the White House
Harbaugh’s relationship with Trump is not new. Last summer, Harbaugh and several family members — including his brother Jim Harbaugh, now leading the Los Angeles Chargers — were invited to the White House.
Harbaugh later described the visit as “amazing” and said it was an honor to meet the commander in chief.
Trump and American Sports
During his second term, President Trump has remained a visible presence at major sporting events, including attending a Washington Commanders home game last fall. His appearances have reinforced his long-standing interest in professional sports and their cultural importance to everyday Americans.
Whether the Giants ultimately follow Trump’s advice remains to be seen. But with Harbaugh now available — and the spotlight firmly on New York — the coming weeks could shape the future of one of the NFL’s most storied franchises.
