Jan. 20 (UPI) -- John Harbaugh is excited to coach quarterback Jaxson Dart and aims to lead the New York Giants to Kansas City Chiefs-like success, he said Tuesday.
Harbaugh made the comments at his introductory news conference at Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford, N.J. The Giants hired the former Baltimore Ravens coach, who was fired Jan. 6, on Saturday.
"Our focus is simple," Harbaugh said. "It starts with building a team that is physical and tough, that's capable of overwhelming their opponent from beginning to end, especially at the end and understands how to finish, that is smart and discipline and plays the game the way it should be played and that everybody watching it, including those playing it, will be proud of."
Harbaugh led the Ravens to a 180-113 record over 18 seasons, including an 8-9 mark in 2025. His Ravens made the playoffs in 12 of his 18 seasons, including their 2012-13 Super Bowl title-winning run.
He thanked the Ravens, including players and coaches, during Tuesday's news conference. Harbaugh also said he did not consider taking time off after his split with the AFC North franchise.
