NY Giants news: John Harbaugh’s 2026 coaching staff officially announced
The New York Giants have announced John Harbaugh’s 2026 coaching staff.
“First of all, like my dad always taught us, good coaches are great teachers,” Harbaugh said. “When I build a team, I look for the ability to create a vision and share it and get everyone on the same page in your room, demanding guys, guys who ask a lot of guys in terms of a high standard. And also, believe them in that standard, help them believe in themselves to make sure that every player knows that every coach is really in their corner.”

There are 31 coaches on Harbaugh’s staff. Fifteen of them previously worked for Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens.
“All of the coaches that we’ve retained are great coaches, great guys, highly recommended by people here in the building, but also all around the league,” Harbaugh said. “It could have been more. I mean, there’s a lot of great coaches on this team before, guys that we have great respect for, but you also want to bring in new guys and guys that you’ve known over the years. So you just try to create the best mix to build the best coaching staff possible. I feel really lucky and blessed that those three guys are still with us.”
The Giants also officially announced the hiring of Dawn Aponte as senior vice president of football operations and Adam Bennett as head athletic trainer.
