Giants fans clamoring for a John Harbaugh hire better decide if he is a prize worth the unsavory taste of rooting for the Eagles in the playoffs.
The search for the next Giants head coach is going to extend into next week and that means that more competition for Harbaugh’s services could enter a sticky equation. At least nine teams have inquired about Harbaugh’s interest, according to reports, which means that three teams currently employing a head coach are coming up with contingencies since there only are six vacancies.
Would the Bills — with reigning MVP Josh Allen to entice any candidate — fire head coach Sean McDermott after a loss to the Jaguars if he squanders a rare path to the Super Bowl without the rival Chiefs in the way?
Would the Packers fire Matt LaFleur — whose job is said to be less secure than his 76-40 record over seven years should warrant — if he loses to the Bears and the sides can’t agree on the compensation for a contract extension beyond 2026?
