The Giants will do something they’ve never done before when they officially hire John Harbaugh: land a coach with a Super Bowl already on his résumé. He is the 25th man hired by our nine pro teams who’s won a championship previously.
You may be surprised that just two of those 24 ever duplicated their success, including the six who were re-hired by New York teams for which they’d already won.
Here they are in chronological order (with helpful letter grades!*).
(*-Grades only cover their time with the team, or in the case of re-hires, their second time. Also: special mention to Eddie Firmani [led Tampa Bay to the ‘75 NASL title before doing it with the Cosmos in ‘77 and ‘78] and Sandy Brondello, who won a WNBA title in Phoenix in ‘14 before winning with the Liberty in ‘24.).
