The New York Giants and coach John Harbaugh have agreed to work together but the deal is not quite official yet. It has been two days since the big news first leaked and some fans are starting to get a little nervous. However sports experts say there is no reason to worry about the delay. Both sides are simply taking their time to make sure every small detail in the massive contract is correct before they sign it.
Harbaugh is known for being very careful and thorough when he makes big career decisions. He wants to make sure everything from his salary to his staff members is perfectly planned out. Reports suggest that he is set to earn about one hundred million dollars over the next five years. Because the contract is so big it is natural for the lawyers and team owners to spend extra time checking the paperwork.
The Giants have wanted Harbaugh for a long time and he has made it clear that New York is his top choice. He even spoke with legendary players like Eli Manning to learn more about the team culture. Even though he has not signed the papers yet he already canceled his meetings with other teams like the Tennessee Titans. This shows that he is fully committed to leading the Giants next season.
An official announcement could come as early as Friday evening but the team might wait until next week to hold a press conference. Since Monday is a holiday the big event could take place on Tuesday instead. For now fans just have to be patient while the final signatures are collected. Once it is finished Harbaugh will officially become the man in charge of bringing a championship back to New York.
