President Donald Trump offered some advice to the New York Giants and John Harbaugh on Saturday.
Trump used social media to encourage the Giants to hire John Harbaugh “without a doubt” as their next head coach.
“The New York Football Giants should hire, without a doubt, John Harbaugh – and John, a great guy, should TAKE THE JOB!!!” Trump posted to Truth Social on Saturday.

This is the second time in recent days that Trump has posted on social media to comment on Harbaugh, as he called the former Baltimore Ravens coach a total winner on Wednesday.
“HIRING JOHN HARBAUGH, QUICKLY,” the president wrote in a Truth Social article Wednesday morning. “HE AND HIS BROTHER ARE TOTAL WINNERS!!!”
The Ravens fired Harbaugh in stunning fashion on Tuesday, ending a highly successful 18-season streak. The team won six AFC North titles, appeared in four AFC championship games and won a Super Bowl under the 63-year-old’s leadership.
The Ravens finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs in heartbreaking fashion, as kicker Tyler Loop’s game-winning field goal attempt sailed wide right. After a disappointing season, Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti fired Harbaugh.
RAVENS COACH ADMITS HE ‘DID NOT COACH LAMAR (JACKSON) WELL ENOUGH’ AFTER MISSING PLAYOFFS THIS SEASON

Harbaugh immediately emerged as the top head coaching candidate on the market and received interest from every team with a vacancy, according to multiple reports.
The Giants have the second-worst record in the NFL over the last 10 seasons, ahead of only the New York Jets, with a record of 55-109-1.
The Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll midseason after blowing a 10-point fourth-quarter lead against the Chicago Bears, a game in which rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion, dropping them to 2–8. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was named interim coach and went 2-5 in his seven games.
Daboll was in his fourth season and accumulated a 20-40-1 record. He was named NFL Coach of the Year in his first season after leading the Giants to a 9-7-1 record and a playoff berth, but the team’s record deteriorated with each season.

Although Kafka won his last two games and earned an interview for the full-time job, he is unlikely to get the Giants head coaching job.
Harbaugh is spending the next few days watching film of Dart and Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward as he weighs his options, according to The Athletic. The veteran coach will begin officially interviewing teams next week, according to multiple reports.
