The New York Giants have announced John Harbaugh’s 2026 coaching staff.
“First of all, as my dad always would teach us, great coaches are great teachers,” Harbaugh said. “When putting together a staff, I look for the ability to create a vision and share the vision and to get everybody on the same page in your room, guys that are demanding, guys that ask a lot of the guys in terms of a high standard. And, also, believe them into 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 those previously worked for Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens.
“All the coaches that we retained are great coaches, great guys, highly recommended from the people here in the building, but also around the league,” Harbaugh said. “It could have been more. I mean, there’s a lot of great coaches on this staff previously, 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 kind of create the best mix to build the best team of coaches that you possibly can. I just really feel fortunate 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.
