Connor Hughes: Why All Signs Point to John Harbaugh Landing with the Giants (Full Interview)
Podcast: Evan & TikiPublished On: Wed Jan 07 2026
Description: Connor Hughes joins the show to deliver a deep dive into why momentum is building toward John Harbaugh becoming the next head coach of the New York Giants. Connor explains why the process will take time despite clear interest, how the Rooney Rule factors into the timeline, and why Harbaugh has quickly separated himself from the rest of the field. The conversation digs into the power dynamic between Harbaugh and Joe Schoen, whether ownership would reshape the front office to land a proven coach, and how Harbaugh’s presence would immediately change decision making inside the building. Connor also addresses competition from other potential openings, why the Giants are viewed as the most desirable vacancy, and whether candidates like Kevin Stefanski remain realistic alternatives. The interview wraps with expectations if Harbaugh is hired, from short term win projections to long term culture change, and Connor ultimately makes his call that all signs point toward Harbaugh and the Giants coming together sooner rather than later.
