PORT JEFF, Happy Friday friends, we have business to discuss, Giants land Harbaugh, another miss for the Mets, Tomlin steps down.
The New York Giants have reached an agreement to hire John Harbaugh as their next head coach, marking a significant shift after years of instability and frequent coaching changes since the departure of Tom Coughlin. This move provides the stability the franchise has long sought, with Harbaugh expected to instill a renewed culture and attitude that can restore pride to Big Blue. While criticism of General Manager Joe Schoen has been warranted in the past, this decision represents a necessary and decisive action on his part. Although the Giants still face considerable work ahead, this hiring is a substantial first step toward reclaiming the stature and identity the organization once enjoyed.
Another setback for the Mets in an offseason that has already been a major disappointment has now escalated with the recent news of Kyle Tucker signing with the Dodgers. The organization has already dismantled the core that fans have grown to love, and with this latest development, doubts have emerged for the first time in David Stearns’ tenure about whether he is the right person for the job. This is not Milwaukee, where a team can nickel-and-dime its way to 90 wins; this is New York, where the expectations are unequivocally to win.
After 19 years as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin is stepping down and will coach elsewhere. The Steelers have long needed a fresh voice at the top and now face plenty of questions about their future. Will they trade TJ Watt? Could they bring back 43-year-old Aaron Rodgers? Maybe they’ll trade up for a rookie quarterback and start a rebuild. Where they go from here is anyone’s guess.
