The Giants did not get the first at-bat with John Harbaugh, but they will eventually get their swings.
The Harbaugh Sweepstakes opened Monday when the coach conducted with the Falcons what the team stated was an interview. Or did they? That this “interview” was conducted without any lead-in reporting felt like an impressively clandestine coup. In actuality, the interaction was a phone conversation between Harbaugh and Matt Ryan, the new Falcons president of football.
Harbaugh has been in contact with all seven teams with head coach openings — the eighth opening was created when Harbaugh was fired by the Ravens — and he will narrow his list and determine which teams will be granted an in-person interview, either at the team facility or at an off-site location.
The Giants will make the cut for an in-person meeting, The Post has reported.
