John Harbaugh said there are “a number of guys who have a pretty good idea” they’re coming from the Ravens coaching and support staffs to join the Giants.
“You can’t know that until it’s done,” he added. “We’ll keep our fingers crossed on some guys.”
The Ravens blocked special teams coordinator Chris Horton and others from making lateral moves as they await hiring a new head coach, NFL Network reported.
The Giants have to satisfy the Rooney Rule and interview at least two minority candidates for coordinator positions and at least one for quarterbacks coach.
Other position coaches are not subject to the Rooney Rule.
Harbaugh said there are “great coaches” in-house who he will meet with beginning Wednesday.
One of the many reasons Harbaugh was attractive to the Giants is his fruitful coaching tree.
His predecessors have had a difficult time filling out their staffs with in-demand candidates.
“We will build the very best coaching staff that we can,” Harbaugh said.
“My dad always said … coaches are teachers first. The ability to take a vision that’s well-organized, a structure that’s put together in a really good way that the players can play fast, play around their skill set.”
Former Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken is a candidate to be Browns head coach.
If he doesn’t get that job, he’ll be the favorite to call plays for Jaxson Dart.
“There’s a lot of good offensive minds out there,” Schoen said, “and we’re going to talk to several candidates specifically on that side of the ball because that’s very important.”
